I have my child enrolled at SIBS, Year 1. As we approach the end of the third quarter and the end of her first year, and I reflect on our experience as parents, I can only convey my gratitude and admiration.
As a family who have recently moved to Thailand, we experienced many trials and tribulations, which was expected, as you leave behind what you're used to; you exchange the comfort of everything familiar with a need to adapt to the unknown and to start anew. I can say with the utmost pride that SIBS has eased our adapting to a new milieu of functioning and that our trust in the school's systems, teachers, management and amiability is secured.
For a child, adapting to new environments can be daunting and stressful. Her teacher has gone the extra mile to accommodate her and assisted with all her needs. The administrative aspects of her schooling has been conducted with crystal clear communication and expectations. The environment that has been created for her and, as I hear, for other children in her class, is comfortable and safe. She looks forward to going to school. This is something we didn't experience in our home country.
The school lives up to the status required of being an International school. This fact has been corroborated by all the other parents we have conversed with as well as those we made friends with.
As an overall opinion from my, my wife's and all of the parents I have met and discussed the important matters of a child's education with, the consensus is clear, SIBS is professional, courteous, efficient and welcoming for any child. I look forward to becoming part of the community, growing with the school and being more involved. We are here to stay.

The school is all advertisement and not actual education. They only try to make the school look good on camera but not in real life. The students are horrible and the teachers are not professional with the new history teacher being horrible and having all year 9 choosing gp over history and the biology teacher having so many complaints about her because she makes so many mistakes that she shouldn’t be a teacher. Not to mention that there is no academic counsellor to help students. Also with the primary principal not focusing on her department but to rather oppress the secondary. She is not well liked by all students for a reason. Education is not even the bare minimum. They only sit you down at a desk and read you a book and not actually going into detai... read full review

Beware of any positive reviews of this school on this and other websites as the vast majority seem to come from current employees with their own agendas.
We decided to take our son out of SIBS because we were lied to. We were promised that class sizes would be kept to a maximum of 25 students. Despite this, the school accepted significantly more students into the class. Rather than create an additional class, the school chose instead to save money and break its promise. As we had already paid the tuition, we would have lost our deposit if we had decided to leave.
From what I saw visiting the school, I observed that the school seemed to be predominantly Chinese and it was rare to ever hear English being spoken. Around 75% of my son’s class were Chinese, which would not have been such a problem but very few could speak even basic English. No thought was given to how such a ... read full review

Wonderful learning environment and modern facility, My kid love going to school everyday. Teachers are friendly and communicative with parents. Now the school is improving more facility this year. Exciting for the kids.

Good school. My child love this school and her teachers.
Nice place, quality facility.
Parent
Great school with enthusiastic teachers and a management who like to involve parents and listen. Whilst the school is international/bilingual, there is a very strong bias towards international with the excellent Cambridge curriculum.
SIBS is certainly a school that children love to be.

SIBS is a terrific international school based in Chiangmai. The school offers the UK Cambridge curriculum including the checkpoint exams. The campus is large, modern with some great facilities. I have found the teachers to be warm, enthusiastic, caring and of a high standard. My daughter enjoys going to school each day and really happy there.

“Satit International Bilingual School (SIBS)” in Chiang Mai is an international accredited Cambridge School owned by the Rangsit University.
Our daughter was diagnosed with ADHD, our older son is on the autism spectrum and our younger son had a speech and development delay.
All our children settled in very well and each of our children receives the support to reach to their individual potentials. We saw the best progress in their academic careers and growing self-confidence. From the first day we had the feeling of “HOME”.
Our children enjoy learning in the open, friendly and familiar environment at “Satit International Bilingual School (SIBS)”.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PASSION AND HARD WORK !!!

I love this school. They always listen to everyone's opinions and ready to improve.
Parent
I believe SIBS is a fantastic international bilingual school. As a parent, I am please to see that the school is improving everyday and my kids are growing with the school. Although it may not be the very best school in Chiangmai for now, SIBS has made remarkable improvement during the hard COVID epidemic time. My children miss the school everyday not only because they have fun at SIBS, but also because their academic abilities have been greatly improved.

I am not sure I have enough time to write a full review on the bad experience we encountered at Satit Rangsit International Bilingual School Chiang Mai.
The first thing I would like to point out is that not every thing to do with the school was a disappointment. That being said, there are a lot of areas that are way below the standard you would expect from a so-called international school.
They have a huge turn over of teachers which is a huge red flag. From my experience this is usually down to unhappy or overworked teachers. During the time my children were there at least 60-70 percent of the teachers in the department they attended left. Some in the middle of the year and some at the end.
Another issue we have had is the school refused to give us back the security deposit and meal fees.
We had to leave Chiang Mai on short notice and informed the school as soon as we knew.... read full review
