ianpants69 Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 (edited) Although it a few years away I am beginning to think about what school I will send my daughter to. I would be grateful if anyone could let me know their recommendations for English speaking kindergartens / international schools in Bangkok. Many thanks.

alaina Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 Here is a partial list of international schools: http://www.shambles.net/thailand/ Most schools are now saying they believe in: Learning by playing Child centered learning Montessouri education These are all trendy buzz-words and it's catering to what many Thai parents want to hear, school is always sanook, right? Think about what you want to pay. If money is no object and you've got connections ISB (International School of Bangkok), Shrewsbury International School and Harrow are some with the best reputations. Other schools can be much cheaper. Also, look at who else goes to the school. A school with more foreign students will generally cost more but your child will have a chance to meet all sorts of children. Sometimes it can be difficult for a farang or half-farang child to be the only non-Thai in a school. Not always, but it's something to keep in mind. Ballance that with do you want any sort of Thai instruction, as some schools do teach a few subjects in Thai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian_B Posted September 27, 2005 Share Posted September 27, 2005 My 2 year old just started at Ploenchit International Kindergarten school They have a website at www.pemani.com/PIK/ It's located on Soi Ruam Rudi, as are a few other schools Though he hated it at first he loves going now. The teacher writes a few lines each day with an upate on what he's done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What area? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Well we live in Rama 2, but I am not hopeful on the finding anything in this area front so we'll move if needs be. Thanks all for your replies, I do not want my daughter to have to study any Thai is that possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also what races are the kids, is it a fair mix or something of a white club (which I'd prefer to avoid) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My son loves it now. As we live on wireless it is just perfect for us - bus picks him up and drops him off within 10 mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
