The Thalun Family
A close-knit PKG to Grade 12 multicultural community honoring international rigor and host-nation culture.
Choosing Thalun
A Warm and Purposeful Academic Home
Choosing a new school is a very important decision, and we appreciate the fact that you are considering Thalun. We are a PKG to Grade 12 independent international school.
As an international school, it is essential to recognize and appreciate our host culture. One of our international parents phrased it best:
“I hope that when we one day leave Myanmar, my children have been enriched by the time they have spent in Myanmar. I do not want them to look back at a generic educational experience, having missed out on what the culture has to offer.”
