Some Teachers’ comments

FABIAN:
Kang Ning is one of the best and well managed schools that I’ve worked at while living in Taiwan. Everyone is extremely friendly, kind, professional, and thoughtful. We are all able to communicate well with each other. The school is also more than willing to help teachers find accommodation, assist with work permits, arrange transportation, and help with anything that we might need.

The curriculum is highly organized and the workload is not too strenuous. It is easy to follow the class schedule and to arrange any and all teaching aids. Each teacher also gets full support from Serena (owner), head teachers, teaching assistants, and the rest of the school staff. We are also encouraged to help each other with teaching aids, and ideas for the classroom when necessary.

Jhudong is situated on the foot of a mountain so it is a quiet little town. There are many restaurants, night markets, a park, a swimming pool, and it is easy to find a hiking trail.

NAZEEM:
Moving to Kang Ning has been very rewarding for me as a teacher. From day 1 I was amazed at the level of competence the students possessed. As a result of the environment as well as the quality of the teachers they’ve had, the kids here have developed really strong language skills. The staff members here are friendly, helpful and very experienced, which made the transition here really easy.

RAFE:
As an experienced ‘long term’ teacher in Taiwan, I have found working at Kang Ning to be a refreshing experience. The curriculum is well organised, and students are encouraged to be creative, thoughtful and curious. The environment is designed to promote learning in a holistic way so children learn English in a variety of settings and from a varied staff of foreign teachers.

I would certainly recommend working at Kang Ning and experiencing the more laid back lifestyle of rural Taiwan.
