| A handful of my friends (qualified UK, US and OZ teachers) have worked at either one or both campuses. When their contract was up, they all went elsewhere.
I have participated in activities in both schools albeit as an competitor.
Some of what has been said is fairly close to the truth(IMO). The BKK school is now accrediated and trying to improve.
The upcountry school continues to attract the students who have been kicked out of other international schools or were never accepted into one.
The original owner of the school, I believe use to own some big insurance company in Thailand. The dream was to have a school out in the boonies to keep students out of mischief.
I would encourage to Nawty to visit the schools and the classes while in session. Any decent teacher won't care.
Parents often want to know what sort of questions they should ask. The best one is "How much do the teacher's make?" If the teacher's are not making B70,000 and up, the school doesn't really care about education. I realize this might be upsetting to some folks, but in my experience this is the cold fact.
Good international schools upcountry are as rare as hen's teeth. They all have their good and bad points to varying degrees.
I realize that Nawty maybe between a hard spot and a rock. However, if one was to enroll their kids at the KY campus, take them home every night and play an active role in the educational process, it could work.
