How we handle school information.
School profiles bring together published information so parents can compare options and ask better questions. Here is how we handle sources, missing facts, corrections and publishing responsibility.
Which sources we use
School publications are our first source for fees, ages, curriculum and admissions. Other sources can add context or resolve a specific claim. Each profile identifies the sources it actually uses; the list below does not mean we checked every type for every school.
- School publications. Official fee sheets, prospectuses, admissions pages and academic pages are the first place to look for tuition, entry charges, age provision and curriculum. The academic year and any limits belong beside the figure.
- Accreditor and regulator records. Where a profile makes an accreditation or licence claim, the relevant registry can provide independent context. A school’s membership claim is not presented as a separate regulator finding unless the record supports it.
- Independent directories and press. Third-party directories and dated reporting can provide context or point to a change, but they do not turn an unpublished tariff into a verified fee.
- Personal accounts. Parent comments or observations may help frame questions, but they are not a substitute for a documented school fact. Publisher ownership does not establish a school visit.
What school profiles show
- Current provision. Age range, year groups, curriculum and boarding are separated from future or planned provision when the source makes that distinction.
- Published costs. Tuition is labelled with its academic year and year group. Entry charges, included items and separately charged services are listed where published; missing tariffs remain visible.
- Qualifications and accreditation. Claims are attributed to the school or the relevant body according to the available source, without treating the two as interchangeable.
- Location and admissions. Address, directions and contact routes are linked to the best available official source. Unpublished transport or admissions details become questions to ask, not estimates.
- Other school details. Founding dates, campus size, governance and public-facing leadership are included only where relevant and supported by the cited record.
- Unresolved school status. The Odyssey status page explains an identity conflict. It is not a current school listing or a closure claim.
What we don't claim
We do not rank schools. A useful comparison separates documented differences in provision, cost and location from a family's own priorities. We do not claim to know whether an individual child will thrive at a particular school.
We do not turn parent comments or self-selected surveys into a school satisfaction score.
Exam results need a named cohort, year and source. If those are unavailable, a headline percentage is not treated as a comparable result.
Dates and limitations
A check date shows when a source was reviewed, where that date is documented. It does not guarantee that a fee or policy is still current today. Profiles identify the academic year of published tariffs and say when a current tariff is unavailable. Ask admissions for a written quote for your child.
Schools can change fees, provision and admissions policies between checks. We review corrections and new primary sources when received; a published profile does not imply a fresh check each term.
Paid placement and conflicts
Schools cannot pay for a listing position or a favourable description. The guide does not sell admissions referrals or use affiliate links. A school's request to correct a fact is assessed against the evidence, not its commercial interest.
TIMPAEMI CO., LTD. also works on other Pattaya publications and websites. Any material relationship with a listed school should be disclosed on its profile.
Corrections and removal requests
To report an error, email info@pattaya-school-guide.com with the page URL, the disputed statement and a source for the correction. We update the page when the evidence supports a change.
If a page identifies a private individual or pupil in error, contact us so we can assess and remove the unnecessary detail promptly. Requests to remove a school profile are considered separately from factual corrections.
Publishing responsibility
TIMPAEMI CO., LTD. publishes and maintains Pattaya School Guide. Tim and Paemi oversee the publication. A personal byline appears only when that person's work on the page is documented; publishing the guide does not mean either founder wrote a school page or visited its campus.
