The Teachers

Unless otherwise noted, all quotes by David and Paeng (last names withheld for privacy), international school teachers.

International schools are the big leagues when it comes to teaching in Thailand. As opposed to local schools (either government or private), international schools do not follow the curriculum of the host state, instead following either a dedicated international curriculum (such as the International Baccalaureate or Edexcel) or the national curriculum of a different country (such as the US or UK).
