When we asked about the schools in Bangkok, they said...

"Great school if you would like to have an environment in which your child could become a well-rounded individual who strives for excellence in every field. The school is filled w. kids who are given the opportunity to maximise their potential (academic and otherwise) and so are high-achievers. Kids seem very open-minded, expressive, confident and well-behaved in large groups - have seen a large group of older kids from another school who visited my office cafetaria for lunch and were amazingly rowdy. Despite being from mostly privileged backgrounds (not all are) the NIST kids seem quite grounded. This being said my daughter does not require special support. I'm sure that any 'normal' kid will do well there, can't say anything about if there are special language support needs etc.. etc.. Noticed one of the other comments about the sports coach and the advice to have a look at another school - had to say that I attended one soccer final where the winning team (from one of the recommended schools) was found to have fielded more players than allowed, and to have also played students who were older than allowed under the rules .. It was clear that the most important thing was winning the game, and it didn't matter how this was achieved... or this would shape the values of the kids," commented one expat when asked about New International School of Thailand in Bangkok.

"Bangkok is home to a number of excellent international and bilingual schools. One of the top international schools is the International School Bangkok (ISB), which offers an American-style curriculum and is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. ISB is known for its rigorous academic standards and its commitment to developing global citizens. Another top international school is the Bangkok Patana School, which offers an international curriculum based on the British National Curriculum. The school is renowned for its excellent academic results and its commitment to developing well-rounded students. For those looking for a bilingual education, the Bangkok International Preparatory and Secondary School (BIPSS) is a great option. BIPSS offers a bilingual curriculum in English and Thai, and is accredited by the Thai Ministry of Education. The school is known for its strong academic standards and its commitment to developing global citizens. Finally, the International Community School (ICS) is another excellent bilingual school in Bangkok. ICS offers a bilingual curriculum in English and Thai, and is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. The school is known for its strong academic standards and its commitment to developing global citizens," remarked one expat living in Bangkok with children attending .
