Yangon - School Report Question and Answers
Do expatriate students socialize with local students at the school? Are both groups successfully integrated into the school culture?
Yes. One issue that is never discussed openly is the availability of drugs and alcohol. There is no age limit for drinking in Myanmar. Many of the ISY senior grade level students are known to frequent nightclubs and bars in Yangon. Many of the wealthy students have 'tutors' in which they are able to free up their night-time schedules to attend such clubs. Marijuana and other narcotics are easily obtainable in Yangon. - Jun 2014
Yes, but this school is hard to get into unless you are with the U.S. embassy and a lot of these kids have been with each other since a very young age. Our teens often are invited to coffee houses or bars for a birthday celebration. But there are still cliques (as with most schools) that are just not open to new students. All students always seems to be very kind and respectful for the most part. - Feb 2014
It is a mix of many expat-type groups. The kids generally mix well. - Oct 2010
