Interview with Alice, Ava, Anya Chaopatipharn's family
One of the main reasons we chose Concordian for all three of our children—besides being a trilingual school and having an IB curriculum—is that we saw how students here have maintained strong Thai values. They are polite, respectful, and greet and thank each other with a wai. We noticed this from the very first day we visited the school.
Our journey with Concordian has been a long one. Our eldest child was on the waiting list for a year and a half, during which time our second child was accepted first. That allowed our eldest to later receive sibling priority. For our youngest, we decided to apply when they were only four months old. As of today, it has been a full 10 years since our family has been a part of this school.
Over the years, we have seen our children grow into confident individuals with strong identities, empathy, and compassion. Having three children has made it very clear to us that every child is different, even when raised in the same family. The teachers truly understand this and they help children accept differences, develop empathy, and appreciate each individual. Even among siblings, teachers clearly recognize each child’s unique personality and strengths.
The level of care and attention from the teachers is remarkable. Even small details are never overlooked. Teachers consistently communicate with us via emails or arrange meetings to discuss observations and collaborate with parents to support each child’s development in the best possible way.
We once casually asked our children whether they would like to change schools. All three answered very clearly that they did not. They wanted to stay at this school, with their friends, and with their teachers.
Throughout the past 10 years, we have also seen the school continuously develop and improve. This includes the academic program, which encourages students to research, think critically, take action, and reflect on their learning, as well as make suggestions for improvement. Students are also trained to present their work to teachers and peers, preparing both presentations and scripts on their own.
The school environment and facilities have also been consistently upgraded. The playgrounds have been renovated over the years, and all three of our children are also members of the school swimming team. As a family, we make full use of the school’s facilities. We arrive at school as early as 5:55 a.m. and often leave after 5:00 p.m., almost every day.
Over time, we have witnessed the development of the temperature -controlled 50-meter swimming pool, the renovation of the changing rooms, such as improved lighting, and the addition of hair dryers. These may seem like small details, but to us, they clearly reflect the school’s genuine care and attention to everyone.
Concordian is more than just a school; it is truly a second home for our family. It is a place where growth begins, and where life skills and identity are formed. Everyone is part of this community — students, teachers, administrators, staff, and parents alike. Together, they support one another in creating a positive environment where children can grow beautifully academically, in their hearts, and in their values
Sincerely, Atthaporn Rattana
