Start up schools require a particular type of Educator; one who thrives on the energy and focus needed to both establish and shape a new school. Any Educator who has been part of such a venture will attest to the need to give 150% both inside and outside the classroom in an effort to live out the school’s mission and to provide a first-class teaching and learning environment for newly registered students. Start up schools require Educators with talent and drive in addition to a sound knowledge of their craft and the ability to implement programmes in what sometimes can be, trying and frustrating circumstances. You are creating a school climate and building a school culture; the academic and extra-curriculur foundation you lay in those important first months and years, will determine the success of the school and ultimately, the success of your students.
Company owned but to be managed by Western foreign Educators, the school plans to open its doors to students in September 2012. The company will open two schools concurrently in attractive locations; Koa Kinbalu in Saba, eastern Malaysia and the island of Penang, Western Malaysia.
