What are the schools in Vientiane like?
When we asked about the schools in Vientiane, they said...
"I think this school is great. My kids seem to be enjoying it so that is the main thing! It's much cheaper than other International Schools in Vientiane! (In saying that it doesnt mean the teaching/school work etc is of low standard!!)... The teachers are easy to approach, most are foreign (Australian, English, American etc ALL speak english), so if you have concerns you can approach your childs teacher for a meeting. The school staff are very helpful! If you have in issue dropping your kids off to school or bringing them home, the school can arrange a "one off" bus ride home for them. My kids have now been going there for 8 months and actually look forward to going to school! Im impressed!," said one parent with children at Kiettisack International School in Vientiane.
