Admissions and fees
Four steps, starting with a visit on a school day.
Come on a school day
The best way to judge a school is on an ordinary day. Bring your child; they'll tell you more than we can.

What parents ask us
Which class would my child be in?
Nursery is for ages 2 to 3, kindergarten for 3 to 6, and primary runs from Grade 1 (about age 6) to Grade 4 in two mixed classes. We don't tie a grade to a birthday: the teachers and you decide together during the trial week.
Can we join for a week, or a few months?
Yes. Short-term children join the same classes, by the week for stays under four weeks and by the month after that. There's no admission fee. For a single week, that week is the trial.
Can we visit, and bring our child?
Please do. Visits are private tours on school days, so you see real lessons. Book a time online or message us on WhatsApp.
Is the teaching in English?
Yes. English is the school's language, and Thai language and culture classes are included. Our primary teachers trained in Canada and the United States. Last year three siblings joined mid-year without much English and settled in beautifully.
What curriculum do you follow?
The UK National Curriculum sets what children should achieve, a Waldorf-inspired rhythm shapes the day, and Forest School principles take learning outside. Primary mornings are structured reading, writing and maths.
There's no homework. Will my child fall behind?
The same core skills are taught and assessed, through real work instead of worksheets. You get a written report every term and a meeting with the teachers to go through it.
What do the children eat?
Lunch and two snacks are included: fresh fruit, rice with mild Thai dishes and vegetables, nothing heavily processed or spicy. The menu changes weekly. Vegetarian and other dietary requests are arranged through the enrolment form; tell us about allergies with a medical certificate.
Isn't it too hot to be outside all day?
The campus is shaded by over 70 palm trees, the middle of the day is lunch and quiet time, and there are proper classrooms with air conditioning for the hottest hours.
What should my child bring?
A small backpack, a water bottle, a hat, a change of clothes, a towel, sunscreen and mosquito repellent. No snacks or toys.
My child cries at drop-off. How does settling in work?
It's normal in the first week. Keep goodbyes short and calm; most children settle within ten minutes. We can start gradually, with an early pick-up for the first days.
How do you keep children safe?
No member of staff is ever alone with a child, and only trained teachers help in the bathroom. There are first-aid trained staff on site. Children are released only to a parent or an adult you have named, and staff never photograph children on a personal phone without the director's permission.
My child has additional needs. Can you help?
We're a small school, and we don't have a learning support department or specialist staff. What we do have is a small class, a lot of time outdoors and teachers who know every child well. Whether that's enough for your child is exactly what the visit and the trial week are for.
Can our nanny stay with our child?
A nanny is welcome to wait in the waiting area, but not in the classroom.
Is the school open during Songkran?
No. Term 2 ends on 2 April with our Songkran celebration and Term 3 starts on 19 April, so the school is closed over Songkran. There's a holiday camp in the first week of the break.

Here for a few weeks?
Short-term families join the same classes, by the week or by the month. No admission fee.
Short staysHoliday camps for ages 3 and up run in the school holidays. phuketcamp.com
