When we asked about the schools in Thailand, they said...

"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," explained one expat living in Bangkok, Thailand.

"The Shrewsbury International School (SIS) is an established international school in Bangkok, Thailand. It is a newly opened school that offers a world-class curriculum for students aged 3-18. It uses the UK National Curriculum and IB Diploma Program as the basis for its education. The school is renowned for its diverse and multilingual student body, allowing students of all backgrounds to excel in a stimulating academic environment. NIST International School is also located in Bangkok, Thailand. It is an accredited, private, non-sectarian, international school with over 6,000 students across three campuses. NIST offers an American-style education, following an American-based curriculum and offering a range of AP courses, ensuring well-informed citizens with a global mindset. Regent's International School Bangkok follows the English National Curriculum and provides a vibrant education to students of all abilities. Located in Bangkok's central business district, its goal is to ensure that every student can fulfil their academic potential in a supportive and culturally-rich environment. The bilingual Kasem Bundit University School prides itself on its innovative curriculum, combining English and Thai to allow students to fluently converse in both languages. In addition to providing traditional education, the school offers electives in the performing arts, sciences and fine arts to challenge students and broaden their perspectives," said one parent with children at in .
