How would you rate NIVA American International School?
Positive reviews here are posted by TEACHING STAFF, so not very honest to load up a website with reviews by teachers pretending to be parents. The mostly Asian staff speaks volumes about the orientation of this school - this is NOT an American teacher-staffed school presenting an American curriculum. NIVA is a Thai government school that is unable to recruit and retain credentialed American teachers. Abnormally high staff turnover so if you are a credentialed teacher looking for long-term employment, NIVA will not suit you.
NIVA advertises its program as an 'American' curriculum but the mostly Filipino and 'others' staff do NOT hold teaching credentials from US states. The mostly Thai student body does not reflect a true international school student population. High staff turnover reflects immature and abusive school management. Basically, this is a Thai govt school English Program that is not well-known and not well-respected.
Niva American International School helps my son developed learning skills and technological advancement.
The family atmosphere in this school gives the sense of belonging where everyone, students and faculty, know each other and support each other in academics and social life. Students still stay beyond after the school time to play with friends and create meaningful memories. Even after so many years, the school maintains that family atmosphere.
I am around warm and friendly environment. There are many provided facilities for pupils and staffs. NIVA is a great school.
Niva provides a friendly and warm environment for students to grow and develop. The facilities are being updated regularly while lessons are provided in a student-centric environment. Both my daughters adore this school and their teachers. They love going to school and thrive in the classroom.
Great School! The school values each individual and believe that they have unique talents and gifts. The educational program and educators promote high academic standards, positive social collaboration, creative learning environments and a community and global emphasis. I highly recommend this school !

// pingpongピンポン, in the last week
Pretty slow with education compared to other American schools in Bangkok. Teachers drop out every year. Really small campus, swimming pool isn’t standard size. Lockers are pretty worn out, plus they’re not even lockers they’re cabinets. School fees are always going up every year, getting ridiculously high for medium if not worse education. When niva goes to educational competitions, like math competitions, they will never win, nor get awards for runner ups. Not strict with dress code, hairstyle, etc. Honestly I don’t recommend this school when you’re looking at the education. P.S. watch out for vroom vroom, he’s mean ;) I warned you ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
