Nagoya, Japan.

Do NOT work at American School and A.I.E.S., both owned by the same people - Dan Lewis and Hitomi Ishizuka.

They are horrible to their teachers, and they lie and cheat. They deceive the teachers to get them to teach there. They don't have teachers that can stand to stay for their contract. A few months at the most.

Their school is based on a new-age book from 1960 about right-brain teaching...and the "author's" methods have been deemed by the American Pediatric Association as "dangerous." They will not change their ways or accept suggestions. They are unkind and hostile towards the employees.
