How would you describe the facilities at this school? What extra-curricular activities are available?
Very poor. This is a private Lao school. It's not accredited, there is no school board and it employs foreign teachers who are mostly not qualified. Teachers are not respected by the school owner and are treated badly. There is a regular turn over of staff! The aim of the school is to make money. Education is a low priority. Most of the students are from rich Lao families.(97%). There are English classes in the morning which are ESL classes as most of the student's English is poor. They learn Lao in the afternoon. The internal organisation is in a shambles!
What has this school done to help your child transition from the curriculum in your home country into the curriculum in your new country? Are there programs to prepare your child for repatriation?
Nothing
How would you describe the social activities available for parents through this school? Are there parent-teacher organizations?
None
What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?
If you are an expat, do not send your child here. The standard of education is very poor. Classes are 97% Laos students with poor English and taught by unqualified, inexperienced teachers. It is run by one person with no educational background who runs the school like a business and treats the teachers badly. School lunches are terrible. Food is prepared on the floor next to the toilets!It's a scam! You would be better off trying Patana school, Panyathip school or Sengdara school.
