What is Al Maha Academy Like?
I have just been offered a job at AL Maha academy for boys and would like to find out if anyone on this website is currently working there and can give me any insight on whether or not I should accept the position.
I don't like what I have been reading but some of the comments are also out dated.
I would really appreciate a response!!!
Thank you
QatarHoward was an IT teacher who worked at Al Maha and he was fired from his job because basically, he was a bad teacher who just gave his students golden time so they could run around in the playground. One of the worst teachers the academy has ever had.
i am in almaha academy it's the best school i went after all it changed my life
The worst school imaginable. I was there last year. This year I'm in touch with some of the teachers there and unbelievably they tell me that things got worse. You CANNOT imagine how bad it is.
Under no circumstances should you go to Al Maha Boys Academy. This is a serious warning to be taken seriously. It is not a school as such. Rather, a creche for hugely wealthy children whose parents a powerful and who will force you to do what they want.
No learning takes place and you will witness shocking racism, bullying, abuse and mal practice there. It is impossible to describe how bad the school is. There are a lot of good teachers there failing day in day out because of the landscape there. No progress has been made in years. 4 Principals in 5 years, scores of teachers fired year on year. One large step to the right. Women not tolerated. Polite suggestions not tolerated. Common sense rejected. Teachers are treated disgustingly. Boys and their parents create an atmosphere where you can't do your job. Abuse is rife. Teachers are on the edge and majorly regret coming. You can't quite believe how bad it is. Anybody who survives a year there deserves the OBE, CBE and Purple Heart! Its a misery factory. There are pockets of acceptable practice within the school, but largely, the place seems as if it designed to push teachers to the edge and beyond. I haven't even mentioned the boys behaviour and lack of English yet. Their behaviour has to be seen to be believed.

Did you join already???
as said above teachers are unhappy is so true... only one thing they have good building otherwise bad management n worst HR. Timings from 6.30 - 2.30, no break for Assistant.. u have to cry for everything.. no salary increment.. etc
From what I've heard teachers are very unhappy. Very big staff turnover.
