Hi Dean the school has a Thai section and mixed English & Thai section which my children attend.
The school has the usual frustrations of schools with Thai carriculum such as wasting precious school hours dressing up as scouts and in sports uniforms without actual learning anything in scouts or competing in any sporting activities. In Thailand it's more about dressing up and less about doing unfortunately. our children have an American teacher for English, math & science who is doing a fairly good job. Appapatt has a friendly environment, no bullying and my children enjoy attending the school.
The fee's are around 75k per year for the English stream. It's located on Prom Prakhai road

thanks appreciated.

Was also looking at UDIS but the fees add up quickly once you add food, transport, books, etc to the basic price. You are looking at not far off the cost of a very well established private school in Bangkok or Phuket.

There is still a misconception that Money will give you quality education , here so often chil;dren are given test after test to ascertain how good they are, the other factor is the child, some do learn in a good well structured environment paid for by parents who assume money will cure everything, others and by that over the last few years I have learnt, just do the minimum to satisfy the school and parents, learning in reality next to nothing .
How many of you actually ask your child what they like and wish to be in the future, very young children obviously do not know but those with middle teenage years or older the children do know . Schools chosen should assist them in reaching that goal.

Pattanapanya Facebook shows they have High School 1-6 (grades 7 to 12 for westerners). Recent posts show a group of teenage students doing off campus sports and other activities.

Bad teaching. Poor parenting. Lazy student. No career guidance.

Did I miss anything?

At 12 through to 18, I had no real clue about what I was going to be either. This despite a decent showing in SCE O levels and Highers. I do recall that Careers Advisers were typically a younger teacher who either had a reputation of not being very good in their department or were surplus to requirements and sort of odd-jobbing it? The students referred to the CA tended to be the failures, the ones that were already stigmatized by finding secondary education a struggle. I honestly remember my parents asking me what I wanted to be and my wife and I ask the same of our lads.

Is career advice for teenagers any better in the UK or USA or Australia nowadays?

My 15 year old has no idea what he wants to do
We ask him and he replies "dont know, just tell me what I should do"

Visited Pattanapanya today. They work on the Thai school calendar so only admin was open. There are currently 9 students in "Senior High School" meaning M4-6 (grades 10-12).
