FAQ

Actually, HEYA offers both full-time and part-time options. For families who want a full-time solution, HEYA provides all of the elements needed to make the switch to our unique method of preparing students for their futures. This includes academics through accredited online schools in both the US and UK, which will provide diplomas (US) or IGCSE and A-Level qualifications (UK) that will be universally accepted by the most competitive universities in the world. For families who are happy in their current full-time schools or with homeschooling but want their children to be able to show the extra elements they will need to impress top-tier universities, HEYA offers its deep-dive programs, portfolio development, and educational coaching services “a la carte,” so you can experience the HEYA advantage without having to sacrifice what you want to keep.

Currently, HEYA’s prices start at THB 94,000 per term with two terms in each school year. At present, our pricing includes a set of incentives that will, over the next couple of years, be phased out. It should be noted, however, that the initial investment for HEYA families does not include many of the fees and non-refundable charges that are included in many international and private Thai schools, making the cost of joining our community quite a bit lower than many other options.

School starts at 9:00 each morning, with an hour for lunch, and runs through 3:00pm with extracurricular activity time following that.

HEYA Education is a learning center providing a new educational model that combines the best features of both homeschooling and traditional schooling. We especially focus on adding deep-dive learning experiences, guided by mentors who are leaders in their respective industries, into each student’s learning pathway. Pathways also include online academics, portfolio development, educational coaching, and university admissions counseling.

As HEYA is just in the process of enrolling students this number is changing. Our goal is to have between 50-100 students enrolled with us in our current location before we expand.

This is one of the reasons HEYA House exists. Even though students may be working on different subjects and projects, they do so together, under the watchful, nurturing eyes of experienced facilitators and coaches. Additionally, time is set aside for group projects and activities where students build collaborative skills.

HEYA provides the flexibility of studying onsite at HEYA House, online, or a combination of the two (often referred to as hybrid education).

There are numerous similarities and differences between the way American and British educators approach curriculum design. For more information, please see this blog post.

Teacher-led sessions and classes can be an element of a personalized pathway at HEYA, but don’t have to be. Most educator-led activities will focus on group project-based learning or Universal Skills (sometimes referred to as “soft skills”) development. One-to-one tutoring is also available for both academic and non-academic subjects, and learning support is available for students with learning differences that require it.

HEYA uses a series of coaching questions and assessments to determine the details of each student’s field of interest so that explorations can be narrowed down to accessible “chunks” that are turned into projects. From this a “Global Agreement”, or overarching goal is determined, and a pathway of short and medium-range goals are formed to explore it. All HEYA deep-dive programs culminate in a presentation of the student’s experience to a panel of experts in the field that was explored, with in-depth feedback and action items provided to either continue, iterate, or pivot toward further exploration.

HEYA’s expert facilitators and coaches monitor, assist, and oversee the submission of all assignments to online schools. Our staff and administrators also manage the details of each student’s account with the online schools.

HEYA’s co-founders both have extensive global networks in numerous industries that they can draw on to match students with leaders in their fields of interest. HEYA ensures that each mentor is not only highly experienced and a leader in their field but monitors sessions to ensure that a strong rapport is being built and that the mentors are temperamentally suited to work with children.
