swissbie Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Not all public schools are that bad. Ask friends and other people about a good one in your neighborhood, then go for a talk with the school administrator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orpheus454 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Go and chat with the school! Our daughter is now in P1 at the local government school, and our 3 and a half year old son will be beginning 2 days a week in Kindergarten 1 in a couple of weeks. I monitor things as they go along, but the school seems pretty good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suradit69 Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) The main requirement is a lack of concern for your child's education. What a helpful reply Typical of the "Everything Thai Bad - Everything Farang Wonderful" loser mentality that infects the bitter old dears of all ages here at the hub of Kvetching. Possibly the O/P is interested in helping the child develop social skills with kids from his neighborhood. I doubt his prospects for admission to Harvard medical school will be blighted by a year spent in a public kindergarten.

MaeJoMTB Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) The main requirement is a lack of concern for your child's education. He's asking about kindergarten not university. They are all private below age 5. My boy goes to the local Amphur kindergarten, 1.800bht a term inc lunch and milk. All you need is their fee. Two American kids at my son's place. We looked at places charging 5k a term, didn't seem much to choose between them. He speaks great Lanna after attending for 3 months. And socializes well. Learning to write Thai and English letters. Can't expect much more than that. Real education starts at age 7 or 8. Before that it's mainly play. The government schools charge small amounts to foreign children age 5, rising to about 12k a term as teens. You might even manage to wangle a place in a Temple school free of charge after age 5. PS Needs full vaccination record in his Thai medical book or they won't take him Edited October 14, 2015 by MaeJoMTB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
