Starting school is a very important and exciting time in your child’s life and in your lives, as well. On behalf of the teachers and myself, we extend a warm welcome to all our pre-school families. Our school is committed to providing a quality education for all students that develops the whole child. Our school values underpin all that we do in a supportive and caring environment to make your child’s start and the start of their learning career, the best possible experience.
Our pre-primary team provide a caring environment where children, from age two, are able to learn together through a careful balance of structured play and more formal activities. Facilities are available for children to learn and play both indoors and outdoors.

Each year our students grow academically, physically, and socially, while also becoming more responsible and independent. As one of our students, you will grow in confidence, knowing your teachers will help you to be the best you can be!
The Yangon Academy Elementary School includes Kindergarten to grade five. Applicants must be the specified age for each grade by 1 September. The majority of our elementary students first successfully attended our Early Childhood Center program. From its beginning 13 years ago the school’s purpose has been to provide the very best English language education possible using an U.S.-based curriculum at a lower tuition than the few international schools of that time period.
