Hi

We are moving to Koh Samui in the new year with two kids, 11 and 12 and wondered if anyone has first hand knowledge of the new Blue Water International School and could let us know any opinions.

Cheers

Ali

it is an excellent school and all their teachers are qualified and their campus is very nice....in addition the management are keen to offer the best education with the best facilitiy.

good luck

Hello everyone,

We (my husband, our 2.5 year old son and myself) are planning to relocate to Koi Samui from UK in a few months time. However I am really struggling to find a good English speaking pre school for our son. I have been given contact details for Greenhouse School which is located in Phuket and apparently has a branch in Koh Samui but I have been unable to contact them.

I will be greatful for any info about schools in Koh Samui

Also it will be nice to hear from families with kids who are the same age as our son (as we would really love him to have friends when we move to the island)

thanks

Anna
