About Metropolitan School Frankfurt
Metropolitan School Frankfurt (MSF) is a unique institution that combines the warmth of a close-knit community with the excellence of international education. Serving 750 students from 55 countries, MSF is both large enough to offer a wide array of academic and extracurricular opportunities and small enough to maintain a family-like atmosphere.
Students thrive in an environment that fosters independent thinking, skill development, and global awareness. With a 100% IB pass rate and 70% of students achieving grades A/A* in IGCSE, MSF stands as a beacon of academic achievement and personal growth.
We recently spoke with Tara Francis, Assistant Director at Metropolitan School Frankfurt, about her experience using Schrole.
Finding Schrole
Metropolitan School Frankfurt began using Schrole Connect a year ago, seeking a solution to a critical challenge, “We wanted access to a more diverse pool of applicants for teaching positions,” explains Tara Francis. After exploring options, MSF chose Schrole, impressed by the platform’s professional service, detailed teacher reference forms, and positive feedback from other AGIS schools.
Schrole Connect is designed specifically for international schools, providing access to a vast database of qualified candidates and advanced tools for managing recruitment. The platform’s teacher reference system ensures schools can make informed decisions, a feature that resonated strongly with MSF.
Achieving success with Schrole
Since partnering with Schrole, Metropolitan School Frankfurt has achieved significant recruitment milestones, “We have made a number of hires using the Schrole portal since we came on board and look forward to the upcoming recruiting season,” Francis shares. Schrole’s tools have streamlined MSF’s hiring process, helping the school identify high-quality candidates who align with its values and standards.
Francis highlights the platform’s detailed references as its standout feature, “The Schrole reference system is very thorough and gives a good overall picture of a candidate’s strengths. The detailed focus on their teaching effectiveness is very helpful,” she notes. This attention to detail ensures that MSF recruits educators who not only meet the school’s academic standards but also enrich its dynamic community.
Exceeding expectations
What has exceeded MSF’s expectations about working with Schrole is the level of support and responsiveness, “The rapid response to queries or questions and the updates on candidate interest in our posts have been particularly impressive,” says Francis. Schrole’s proactive approach ensures schools stay informed and supported throughout the recruitment process.
Recommending Schrole to other international schools
Francis is confident in recommending Schrole to other schools, “Schrole’s reference system is very thorough and gives a good overall picture of a candidate’s strengths,” she says. “The detailed focus on their teaching effectiveness is very helpful.”
This high praise is reflected in her rating: 9 out of 10.
Since signing up with Schrole we have been very impressed by the customer service, the modern-looking online platform, the absence of placement fees, and the various other Schrole products that we may be able to benefit from in the future. We have filled a number of positions this year with candidates from Schrole, during a particularly difficult recruitment year for us. The customer service is terrific. It seems that Schrole is leading the way in moving teacher recruitment into the 2020's.
