What are the schools in Thailand like?

"The school is amazing and you can really get the best out of it if your child is willing to study hard. The school's achievement rate is significantly higher than other international schools in bangkok, with many students receiving Top in the World and Top in Thailand prizes in their iGCSE and A-Level examinations. O," explained one expat living in Bangkok, Thailand.

"Great school if you would like to have an environment in which your child could become a well-rounded individual who strives for excellence in every field. The school is filled w. kids who are given the opportunity to maximise their potential (academic and otherwise) and so are high-achievers. Kids seem very open-minded, expressive, confident and well-behaved in large groups - have seen a large group of older kids from another school who visited my office cafetaria for lunch and were amazingly rowdy. Despite being from mostly privileged backgrounds (not all are) the NIST kids seem quite grounded. This being said my daughter does not require special support. I'm sure that any 'normal' kid will do well there, can't say anything about if there are special language support needs etc.. etc.. Noticed one of the other comments about the sports coach and the advice to have a look at another school - had to say that I attended one soccer final where the winning team (from one of the recommended schools) was found to have fielded more players than allowed, and to have also played students who were older than allowed under the rules .. It was clear that the most important thing was winning the game, and it didn't matter how this was achieved... or this would shape the values of the kids," said one parent with children at New International School of Thailand in Bangkok.
