We have moved to Veracross to save paper and time for our departments at NIST. It also means we have your correct email details and contact numbers in one place.
 * Why is sign up not on paper this year? **

For flexibility, parents can sign up for Sports camp for 1,2, 3 or 4 weeks (no early bird enrollment applies for less than 4 weeks) or a combination of both sports and 2 weeks academic. For Academic School only two week or 4 week courses are available this year. Parents can choose the first two weeks or last two weeks. Yes on the first day this should be possible but please try to select the correct size.
 * Do I have to enrol my child for the whole period? **
 * Can I change my t shirt if it does not fit? **

Once enrolled and in a course which has started students must complete the full term and cannot swap over in mid course.
 * Can I swap to sports camp or vice versa? **

Sports camp offers a mixture and the schedule means students will take part in a variety of sports during the day.
 * Is the sports camp just one sport or a mixture of sports? **

This depends on gender balance and also on ability. For the benefit of your child we also keep nationalities mixed to ensure English is used more. Swapping will be entirely at the discretion of the coordinator.
 * Can I swap classes? **

This is at the discretion of the coordinator and depends on the size of classes, so it is advisable to sign up to avoid disappointment.
 * Can I extend sports camp/academic if I like it? **

25% of the fee is non returnable.
 * Can I get a full refund if I have to withdraw? **

Thailand's political situation remains unresolved at the time of writing so we are monitoring the situation. NIST is a safe campus with police on duty and vigilant staff on active duty.
 * In the case of closure of the school what will happen? **

How do I know if the Montri Bus will pick up? Please contact Montri directly customerservice@montri.co.th
