Questions about student/ teaching/ curriculum
  • Is Best a public, private or international school?
    Best is a private bilingual school offering K-12 education to mostly local students. We comply with the national education standards, but fused with international courses to varying degrees.
    Can I teach without knowing the local language?
    Our school has no language requirement at all. We believe that the best way for our students to learn English is to immerse them in an environment that helps them think and communicate in English. We prefer our teachers to teach the course without relying on the local language.
    What grade level will I be teaching?
    Our recruitment team is always upfront with prospective teachers. They consider not only filling in available positions but also taking into account teachers' credentials, backgrounds, skills, and experience before they make the final placement.
