  • Several teacher accounts describe rolling two-year contracts, a mass dismissal of staff who pushed for longer terms, and limited recourse under Korean labour law because the school operates outside the standard regulatory framework.
  • One ex-student commenter grouped Fayston with Korean college-prep schools they characterised as a "legal grey area" focused on results rather than education.
  • The school publishes a long list of US-based private-school accreditations, but those are not equivalent to Korean Ministry of Education recognition, which matters for transferability.
  • Parent voices online are essentially absent.

Considerations

  • Staff turnover and contracts. Teacher reports of two-year-only contracts and a mass non-renewal of staff who requested longer terms.
  • Legal status. The school sits outside Korea's mainstream school regulator; ex-staff and ex-students raise this as a concrete concern.
  • Accreditation framing. Holds Middle States and other US private accreditations; these are not Korean MOE recognition.
