Parent's Review of Kiettisak in Vientiane, Laos

What is the name of your child's school? (Please report on one school per survey.)

Kiettisak

In what town or city is this school located?

Vientiane

How would you describe this school? (i.e. American, British, International, Local, etc.)

International

What grade levels are represented at this school?

Pre school through to year 12

How do most children get to school everyday? (bus, train, walk, etc.)

Most kids find their own way to school. There is a school bus, and some kids are dropped off by their parents.

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

The facilities are ok, though to be honest the school grounds are a little small for the number of children enrolled in the school. There are a number of functions that kids can attend, such as valentine's Day and Halloween parties. There are also Friday Clubs.

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?

My child was tested before being admitted to ensure that she would enter the appropriate grade for her abilities.

How would you describe the social activities available for parents through this school? Are there parent-teacher organizations?

Not really.

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

We investigated Vientiane International school and spoke to some parents who had enrolled their children there. Number of them were very dissatisfied with the high cost of the fees. Kiettisak offers the IGCSE and A levels, which are at least the equivalent of the IB. They are also a Cambridge accredited school. I am very happy with the standard of tuition - there are some excellent teachers there and from what I can gather, the standard of tuition is at least equivalent to that of VIS, which charges more than four times the fees. I can thoroughly recommend this school to anyone desiring a good school for their kids.
