TCIS is such an amazing school! Who could even give 1 star? Those 1 star peeps out there are liars!
I love this School homework are so less compared to my old School with amazing teachers that cares about student's learning.
I LOVE TCIS ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:*
One of the best schools I ever learned at!!
TCIS is an okay school that is good for people who are willing to study a lot and are good at making friends. Most students will value popularity more than your qualifications, so even if you are qualified for SC, you will lose if you run against someone popular. I will also say that this school does target language-only learning, which makes it hard to learn more languages and means that what I can learn in an online course in 1 year it might take 4-5 years. I have been learning Thai for 4 years, and I am still in pre beginer so that says how bad it is. Even though I get A's every year in Thai, I still have not moved up at all. I have had an okay experience that is not that good but not that bad.
This School is amazing, I love it, every teacher is nice, homework is not too much, overall a very good school, and totally recommend!
I feel that many teachers have trouble teaching/delivering content and making sure students understand. I can feel that some are trying really hard so they should get some assistants. On the other hand, the management is trash. Some rules are unreasonable: not being able to dye hair, having to change after PE even though we sweat having to walk around up and down the stairs carrying heavy backpacks. Lastly my experience being in middle school student council was not good. The middle school was told that their student council made a new rule (having to change after PE) even though the topic was not brought up at all during meetings so that was already blaming in a way. Details on events going on were not given so students didn't know how to sign up or what we needed to wear at these events. Students kept asking me for details even though these details weren't shared with me. I want this year's student council (2023-2024) to be more professional. Could you guys please do that?
This school is so bad. Teachers are a joke! Seriously there are many other better schools out there! Homework is given out too much. Teachers barely pay attention to student. Don’t come to this school
The administration are unhelpful, and rude. Many teachers there are unhappy, and we parents are also want more for our value. Please put more focus on helping the children. We pay money, and expect better.

This is an amazing school with great teachers who care about students and their learning. Students speak three languages and go to great university. My children graduated from here and all were very successful in college.

I admire how this school provides opportunities for students to learn Chinese, Thai, and English. The reason I'm giving it a four star is due to the lack of interest the students develop throughout their learning process. The teachers should know the students' weaknesses in their course, and improve our flaws for us to become better learners. Students appreciate those teachers, but those great teachers had left our school. No wonder students got bored and started to lose interest here in TCIS. Hopefully the school improves their education system more rather than focusing on the appearance and useless properties.

Not an international school. Ran by crooks, led by the "HOS", who's motto is "cheat to win". All good staff gone, nobody with integrity stays. Contracts are changed, good people/teachers hung out to dry. "Three" languages, the kids can hardly speak 1. Plenty of choices, choose a school with a soul. John McGrath is a joke, greasy Thai Ph.D, brutus himself. Hire's MS/HS principals with no experience and staff turnover rate is ridiculous. Latest stunt with have TCIS out of the Bangkok International Schools Athletic Conference. School is on borrowed time
