Varee Chiang Mai School

[Secularist]

I have been made aware that Varee Chiang Mai School, requires one hour per week of Christian religious training regardless of the students beliefs. I was wondering if any parents with children there have attempted to have their child excused from the class or had any other related experiences at the school. As a side note, I was wondering if anyone had attempted to set up a PTA at the school?

Thanks for any input.

Hi,

I think you can just ask the teacher at the school better. They do have one hour of chapel, I am not sure what they do during this one hour. I think it is not too serious as most of the kids are buddhists.

A PTA looks like a good idea, I would be interested in this. Don't know why there isn't one..I also don't have any experiences with PTA, so wouldn't know how to start one or what is expected.. I think it is best to talk with one of the foreign teachers about this like Mr Daniel, the EP program director.
