We are a not for profit International Primary School in Koh Tao, Thailand. Our kids are from 0 to 10 years old and they are delightful!
We are situated on the island of Koh Tao in Thailand, in an area called Sairee, Jitsin Village in a jungle environment, but 10 minutes from the beach! It is a wonderful place to work, we are very much a family and love having new people to meet.

All of our children are a mix of Thai, Burmese and local expat families. Our staff are also made up of Thai, European and Burmese backgrounds.

People who are happy to assist at playtimes to watch the children while teachers break and also to help the teachers in the classrooms. We often have a few different levels in one class, so it is good to have someone that can assist a teacher with one group while she explains or helps another group. The children also go to Yoga and Swimming, we like to have extra eyes while these activities take place!

We have a volunteer house, purely for volunteers to live in for free while they work with us and it is a minute walk from the school, 10 minutes to the beach. You are close to local restaurants, shops and nightlife!
We offer documentation for a Volunteer Visa for 1-6 months for successful applicants.
The Volunteer house has fans only, 2 bunkbeds for 4 people at a time, a nice bathroom with flushing toilet and hot shower and a basic kitchen.
Quiet and safe neighbourhood and I live across the road if you need any help or assistance.
Lunch and snacks are supplied 5 days a week.
Taking time off, or changing working hours and days is no problem. We are very flexible and happy to work around you as long as it works for both of us. We understand it is important for volunteers to enjoy the island while they are here and they may sometimes like to do a whole day and take the next day off. We are very easy!
