In the afternoon of January 25, a group of us, including our teachers headed off to visit the Vientiane International School at their new campus on Phongsavan Road. Although not directly supported by the US Embassy, as ASV was, it is the school for kids from various embassies, NGO's and the local population. It currently has an enrollment of about 300 students in K-12, and impressively boasts an International Baccalaureate program at the HS level.
Steve Alexander, the Director of VIS, gave us the grand tour and we ended with a group gathering in their sala, telling stories of our days in the 1960's and 1970's, and listening in turn to the stories of living in the Lao PDR today.
