Scandinavian parents and a student talk about their experiences at

Bangkok Prep

Mrs Thitikul Opdal Bangkok Prep mother of two Executive Director Thai-Norwegian Chamber of Commerce I am very happy with Bangkok Prep International School as it is perfectly suitable for my two children. For me, the key decisive factors for choosing Bangkok Prep were the highly international profile of the school, the location, its size and warmth. My two children came from a relatively small school in Norway and I was relieved to find a school in Bangkok that was just the perfect size for them. Also, I did not want my children to commute for too long going and coming back from school – Bangkok Prep’s convenient location really stood out of the lot in that sense. When visiting Bangkok Prep for the first time, there was real warmth to that school – sure enough I noticed that the school community is very closely knit which I have to admit makes it easier for me to monitor my two children.

Mrs Malin Wemnell Gunnarson Bangkok Prep mother of two Head of Administrative Services Finansiell ID –Teknik BID AB For my family, coming to Thailand required a rigorous and detailed research process that we started long in advance – one year prior to our move. We had evidently begun the school search from home in Sweden for our two children by the use of Internet. We narrowed our search and focused on Bangkok Prep International School which we thought was best fitted for the needs of our family. Straight away, we were very impressed by the professionalism and assistance provided by Bangkok Prep’s Admissions team. Once arrived in Thailand and settled at Bangkok Prep, my two children loved the school. So much so that they’re involved in afterschool activities and social events almost every night of the week! Bangkok Prep feels safe. I appreciate the quality of the teachers, the small class size (not more than 20 children) and the discipline installed all throughout the school. I have to say that Bangkok Prep has helped us adapting to our new life in Bangkok.

Ms Ann-Pavinee Langenskiold Year 10 Bangkok Prep Thai-Swedish student What I appreciate the most about my school is the size. I feel secure in this kind of environment and very well supported. Everyone in the school from the staff members to the teachers and students are very friendly. My two favourite subjects are Math and Arts – The quality teaching provided by my teachers & their friendliness make all the difference for me. One particular place that I really like at Bangkok Prep is the school canteen. Bangkok Prep’s canteen is where I get to meet all of my friends! I am happy that my parents chose this school for me and my younger brother, Carl. We are both very happy here.
