Lily and Maira have a mixed European\/Thai background. Which may be an advantage later in life (being bi-lingual), but initially offered some challenges as well. They started off on a regular Thai Curriculum, to build a good Thai language foundation. But pretty soon it became clear that their English skills were seriously lagging. An international school was the only option\/solution\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">APIS was not around yet. So its predecessor became our first choice. Quite similar in nature. A small family oriented school &#8211; actually on the same, original premises! There is one significant difference, however&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"ul1\">\n<li class=\"li1\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/americanprepschool.com\/2920-2\/\">present management of American Prep International <\/a>has a lot more experience in successfully setting up a new school. This isn&#8217;t their first! The result is that the school runs \u00a0smoothly, with less hiccups and stress than the original school.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">The thing I\u2019m most pleased about is, that the school is still &#8220;small-scale&#8221;. Everybody knows everybody &#8211; students, parents, teachers and management alike. <a href=\"https:\/\/americanprepschool.com\/2016\/09\/29\/mr-watcharin-sukontatarm\/\">The school is like a big family<\/a>, sometimes they have disagreements and someone gets upset, but soon they are friends again and support one another in difficult times. No security issues whatsoever.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span style=\"font-size: 14pt;\">And also, since it\u2019s relatively new, it requires a dynamic approach in order to develop. Thinking outside of the box! Creating solutions where necessary. The staff certainly seems capable of doing so. And this, in turn, attracts pioneering parents. I like that!<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/americanprepschool.com\/2016\/10\/04\/de-winter-testimonial\/apis-pic\/#main\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4513\" src=\"https:\/\/americanprepschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/APIS-pic-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"apis-pic\" width=\"423\" height=\"422\" srcset=\"https:\/\/americanprepschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/APIS-pic-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/americanprepschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/APIS-pic-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/americanprepschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/APIS-pic-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/americanprepschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/APIS-pic-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/americanprepschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/APIS-pic-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/americanprepschool.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/APIS-pic-255x255.jpg 255w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 423px) 100vw, 423px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Robert De Winter (parent) I am Lily\u2019s and Maira\u2019s father.
