I'm a new member on this forum, and would especially like to reach out to expats with families who are making the move to Laos.
I am the Headmaster of the new, international school that recently opened in Luang Prabang. The school is called Kiettisack International School (KIS) and it was established 20 years ago in the capital city of Vientiane.
Last year, we set up a branch school in Luang Prabang, albeit in temporary accommodation.
Building work began on a superb new campus that's located in a beautiful rural location on the outskirts of the town. That new campus is slated to open at the start of the new school year in September 2013.
For expats with families, providing decent schooling for their children in Luang Prabang was a bit of a problem, but KIS can now offer a solution for all age levels. Our current school intake includes both Lao and expat children.
If anyone is interested to learn more about our school, please contact me by PM.
If you are a qualified teacher (degree and ESL or subject certificate), and are interested in working at KIS, please contact me. Whilst teaching experience is important of course, the need for 'paper' qualifications is a requirement of the Lao government, so I cannot consider those experienced teachers who not have the required qualifications.
