Notes of Thai Melchka: "The Russian certificate in the British school was not interested in anyone"

Where to go to learn? - The question is not idle. It is clear that we left in Thailand over the sea, the sun and delicious food. But the daughter needs to get a normal education. So, in fact, this serious question is solved easily - most importantly, there would be money. Because in Phuket - a huge number of schools. There are exclusively Thai (even for foreigners there are a penny), there are bilingual (learning in English, but Thai is obligatory), international (British or American, study here - the cheapest pleasure) and even the Russians (they are also healthy).

Personally, we chose a school for my daughter long before moving to Thailand.

With this certificate you can proceed to almost all universities in Great Britain, as well as in many higher educational institutions in the USA, Canada and Australia.

Before being accepted in Cambridge International School, daughter handed over their own entrance exams. And here solely on their results and led local teachers when they take or do not accept students to school. More precisely, they take here almost all, but in which class it is determined by new - a big question. Therefore, now, together with her daughter in her tenth grade, and fifteen-year-old Canadian, and the seventeen year old Frenchwoman. It all depends primarily on the level of English.

Personally, I believed that I was studying in English - that's another problem. Here and in Russian, not all items are understandable, but on ingenic. However, a daughter, having studied only a couple of weeks, was very surprised by our recognition ...
