You have a choice of two Sarasas schools and Assumption college in the City Area, both offer Bi-Lingual courses.

Nearest International School is St. Stephens Khao Yai but quite a drive from Korat.

When you say moving to Korat, do you mean city or province????

I live in Pak Chong, Korat Province and my son goes to St. Stephen's International school there.

I am the chairman of the PTA there and if I can help in any way, well pm me.

From The Mall in the centre of Korat city, it is a 1 hr drive to St. Stephen's. We are actually looking at laying on transport to/from Korat City if we can get enough students. There will be a big push by us in the next academic year, with planned school introductions taking place in the Mall.

Hope this helps.

I like the sound of the transport for St Stephens but I do think it is too long a daily commute from Korat City, I really do want my son to go to an International School... But I was considering a move, maybe to Pak Chong (Which is closer to Bangkok where I work anyway) or into Bangkok itself.

The standards of International school Vs English program schools are opposite ends of the scale.

I looked around a couple of years ago and the best I could find was called Plookpanya (or something like that). Problem was that they only offer up to age 14 I think.

We looked at St Stephen's but to be honest it looked a bit run down and they seemed to be gradually cutting back on the upper ages that they offer classes to. At one time I think they went up to age 18, now it's 16 I think, and they stated that it would be reduced further to age 14 and older kids would then have to attend St Stephens in BKK. Not sure whether or not that happened but it just didn't impress me much so I didn't pursue it.
