New Swedish School in Hua Hin

The Swedish School in Thailand will soon get a sister School in the fishing village Huay Yang south of Hua Hin.

Thailand got its first Swedish in Koh Lanta back in 2004 and it dint take long before it was a very popular among Swedish parents and children, who was looking for a time off from the cold vintner in Sweden.

And now almost seven years later its time for the next step, namely the new sister school in Huay Yang, where there is a huge Swedish community.

The new school will be named Huay Yang Sanuk.

The school will open 10. January 2011.

According to the headmaster for The Swedish School in Thailand, Eva Brandelius, the schools are small, with small classes.

That’s makes it very easy for the children to adapt to the tropical conditions.

The new school south of Hua Hin will follow the Swedish curriculum for Nursery & Kindergarten School, Primary School, and Secondary School.

On the long run, the people behind the school hope to turn their new project into a full year school like the sister school in Koh Lanta.
