Lots of opportunity for personal and professional growth - highly recommend!The good thingsAs someone early in their professional career, MIIS has been the perfect place to learn on the ground and acquire a diverse range of skillsets. I've grown so much as a person and as a professional in just the span of two years. If you're someone who appreciates a job that is dynamic and not "repetitive", then you will thrive in MI.
I also appreciate the high-quality, international training MI provides for its teachers/staff and the caring culture that ensures everyone feels supported and heard. MI has an "open door policy" so it's easy for you to go up to anyone, from your colleagues to even the founding directress, to ask for help/support.
The challengesThe challenge that comes with a dynamic job is the ability to balance all your tasks and to know what to prioritize. MI has a lot of activities to extend learning beyond the classroom so teachers and staff have to juggle a lot of hats; however, I've found that 1) this doesn't happen all year-round (there are times in the SY that are not as busy) and 2) there are always people who will be willing to support you/help take on some load if it becomes too overwhelming. It was definitely a bit of a struggle in my first year to balance everything, but now that I'm in my second year, I can confidently say that things get easier. It just takes some time to adjust to the workload, but I think that can be said for any job.
