Jordy De Temmerman, founder of SchoolRadar Bangkok

Hi, I'm Jordy

Design teacher, IB/IGCSE educator and edtech specialist — based in Bangkok.

I've spent nearly a decade teaching in international schools across Belgium, Hong Kong and now Thailand, where I lead Design across the IB MYP and PYP programmes at The Canadian International School Thailand and look after our educational technology. I graduated Magna Cum Laude in Education (English & Computer Science) from PXL University College, and a lot of my work sits at the intersection of curriculum, AI and XR in the classroom.

Why I built this site. Talking to parents — both expats relocating here and Thai families — I kept hearing the same thing: choosing an international school in Bangkok is overwhelming. Dozens of schools, opaque fees, conflicting reviews, and nowhere neutral to compare curricula, areas, English support and learning needs side by side. I built SchoolRadar Bangkok to fix that — an independent, parent-first reference that turns scattered information into an honest comparison, so you can make a confident decision for your child.
