What both schools share

  • The Montessori approach

    Hands-on learning in mixed-age classes from 1 to 6, each child at their own pace.

  • Holistic care

    Over 40 years of expertise in early years care. We look after each child's well-being as a whole, with a 1:3 average ratio, 1:1 when needed.

  • Fresh food, one kitchen

    Lunch cooked fresh every day in our own kitchen, with fruit instead of sweets.

  • Since 1984, one family

    Recognised by the Ministry of Education. Many of our parents were Kornkaew children themselves.
