Yangon - School Report Question and Answers

How would you rate the school's support and welcome/integration of new students and their families, and why?

Many parents have noted that American students have been negatively targeted by teachers and faculty members. It's known that certain ISY teachers frequently belittle/humiliate some American children in front of the class and allow other students to do the same. Such discrimination is not done against any Burmese students with family connections to the Myanmar government/military. This concern has been raised many times but there is little ISY management oversight on this issue. ISY operates in a third world country free of oversight and governance over their day to day operations. - Jun 2014


First day of school, we arrived with our teens on the high school side. There were snacks, and popular teen music playing. There was also a list of new students with their friend/guide who would show them around and help them to meet some other students. It made their transition much easier. When the bell rang and they went to their first agenda, the new parents sat down to listen to a 20-30 minute informative presentation on the school. - Feb 2014
