EtonHouse International School has a big staff number with teachers from all over the world. We are incredibly proud of our diversity and even though sometimes this comes with some cultural differences we are proud of our team and the family atmosphere we have created. This has become even more apparent during the Covid-19 pandemic which has meant that we have had to find a new way of working and cooperating. Working from different countries and multiple time zones and through online meetings and regular communication, it has allowed our staff to provide an excellent online programme for our students.
