Hi,

Anyone send their kids there ? Thoughts pls ?

Read a few posts from last year, mostly comparisons, not really interested in BIS, am also considering PIA

(I'm considering sending my 6 year old half Thai half Brit there next year)

Regards and Thanks

SB.

If you can afford any other school, send him to any other school. He won't get out of that school a total dumdum but its the worst option.

if ur American ( or want an American education) consider QSI;

cheaper than PIA, smaller classes, US studies.

My daughter did her last 3 years there.

did her 1st 2 years at the Montessori school in Rawaii

than 6 years at BIS when it was Dulwich

I'm curious what is the basis for that opinion?

I've just started my kids there so it is a bit early for me to give an informed opinion on the academic strength of the school. Just the same the organisation behind the school seems good. They are the newest IS in Phuket and still trying to establish themselves so they currently have the lowest fees. They currently have classes up to year 10 and will expand that to year 13 over the next 3 years. It is British curriculum, class sizes are under 20 and they are well staffed. They have just brought in a new head of secondary with a good CV so I think they have ambition to aim for high standards.
