Do the children receive a snack?

We offer the children snacks mid-morning in class.  The teachers use this opportunity daily to stress self-help, sharing and good table manners.  Children prepare their own snacks if possible (i.e. spreading jam and butter on bread).  We offer a rotating selection of nutritious snacks including fruit everyday.

Is transportation available to take my child to school?

What is the policy on my child taking an extended leave of absence or a vacation?

IPC operates in a three term system (end of August - December, January - Mid April, Mid April - early July). Early July - August the school stays open and offers a special summer school programme. The school is open all year round except for 2-3 weeks over the Christmas period and two weeks the the Thai New Year.  At IPC we strictly limit the number of children per class and we also have a waiting list of children wanting to join us.  
We encourage parents to take their vacation during our school holidays as we do not give "make up" days for missed days.
