A partnership between the two schools in the village of Saphanthong Tai. Lao primary school

and Vientiane International School

Established in 2010

“VIS is proud of the

relationship with our sister

school. The bonds of

friendship and mutual

respect assist both our

communities to learn and

develop together.”

Greg Smith

VIS Director

The Sister School

Agreement.

The establishment of the Sister School relationship grew out of a VIS Student Council Project to provide a library building for the local primary school. Today, the relationship far exceeds the fund raising focus that began in 2008 and the benefits of the sister school relationship flow both ways.

“Service is a big part of who we are as

a school community and one of the

student council’s foci is on educating

youth. Last year we finished building

the library and this year we were able to

achieve our goal of providing the

library with books, furniture and

improving the facility, with the

community's help.”
