New Location

News and Updates

As of today, January 3, 2012, we opened at our new location. Hooray! We thought you might like to take a short tour of some of the many architectural things that make Baan Dek unique.

Baan Dek was designed specifically with children in mind. It’s their home, where everything, and we mean everything, is just for them.

We mapped out the coordinates, so to speak, and determined, from the start, that architecture, including design and aesthetics, could play an instrumental role in the formation of the school. In our estimations, it was necessary. Here we were, preparing to […]
