What do you know about this school?
Do they make a distinction between TT and non-TT positions?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

From what I've heard they do differentiate between permanent posts and part-time / full-time instructor roles - and the terms and conditions are much better for the former. A lot of people seem to teach there but have other teaching jobs elsewhere as well - whether that reflects the pay or just a lot of use of part-timers, I don't know. The French people I know don't hold it in high esteem as an institution, but I've never known whether that because it seems to take wealthy but not very well-qualified students, or because they're not a good employer.
