Employees at Havil International School appreciate the respectful, well-mannered students who are friendly and helpful. Teachers value the supportive colleagues and close-knit community, as well as the freedom in lesson planning and classroom autonomy. The school provides a good learning environment for new teachers to develop their skills and gain experience in various areas of teaching and management. Additionally, employees enjoy the cultural exposure and engaging activities built into the school's programmes.
However, there are some potential challenges to consider. Teachers are expected to take on multiple roles beyond their primary teaching responsibilities, requiring adaptability and flexibility. Applying for leave can be challenging, even for necessary reasons. Some employees have noted concerns about management style, including perceptions of favouritism and feedback not always being actioned. The salary is average, with an expectation to work for passion rather than financial reward. Facilities could be improved, and the school operates with a family-oriented culture where teachers are expected to commit time and effort beyond standard working hours.
