BIBS Haidian Academy Beijing

Does anyone know anything about this school? There is nothing on Reddit that I think is specific to this campus and the few ISR reviews are old (but terrible). I am ok with the location and can't be too picky now that it is May and I still don't have a position for next year. I am only interested in a few select areas of China and need a K-12 school since I have young kids (who are fully bilingual since my wife is Chinese). I notice the job market for western HS math teachers in China is not as good as before, especially for long time teachers like me who never got certified and only want a K-12 school with tuition waivers for teachers' kids. So as long as this school doesn't require much more than 40 hours per week on campus (including lunch breaks) and has suitable family housing within walking distance of the school, then it will probably be ok for me. I already know that they have KG and primary and I am guessing that is free or close to free for teachers' kids.

I might be getting an offer from this school soon and I don't see any recent comments here or on ISR specific to the Chaoyang campus. Can anybody say anything recent about this school that would pertain to a secondary teacher with small kids attending the school? I know the Haidian campus sounds better geographically, but I only got an interview with Chaoyang. I don't go out much so not being near the center or even a metro station is not really a concern, as long as I can find suitable housing for a family really close to the school as well as a few restaurants and a gym.
