How would you describe the facilities at this school? What extra-curricular activities are available?

Excellent. There's been lots of investment, so there's now a new main hall, much bigger primary classrooms, a completely new Kindergarten area and a new pool. They also have good music and science equipment, like a 3D printer.

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?

The curriculum taught here is based on the English one, so it's been quite simple to transition.

There's a strong PTA group that has weekly coffee mornings and arranges regular car boot sales and picnics. Parents do tend to be quite hands-on and willing to be involved in school events.

What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?

I'd say GIS is the best international school in this part of Thailand, in terms of the quality of education, the facilities and value for money. At the upper end of the school, they offer IGCSE and IB results and it appears their results are way above the global averages.
