Double Horizon: a 4th school opens on Don Daeng island

On 14 October 2025, a new free English school opened its doors on Don Daeng island, in the heart of the Mekong, in Champasak province, southern Laos. It is the fourth NK Seeds school, after the Ma Led Phan Library in Nong Khiaw, My Dream in Muang Xon and Phou Jo on Khong island.

The school was born from a partnership with Double Horizon, a French NGO active in Laos since 1992 and committed to educational development and international solidarity. It bears its name: Double Horizon English School.

Around 120 children and teenagers take English classes there, five afternoons a week, from 3:45 to 5:30 pm. Classes are led by Lao teachers, assisted by international volunteers. The idea: to learn English, but also to connect with people from elsewhere.

At the end of November 2025, NK Seeds took its followers to the school's inauguration, on video: the students, the teachers and the whole team at work. The school's logo was designed by @zo_tattooo.

The day is organised in two parts. At 10 am, volunteers meet the teachers to prepare the afternoon classes together. Then the students arrive. On Friday afternoons, games replace lessons: another way to practise English.

From the very first week, the classes are evaluated. On 19 November, the classes celebrate their first month, and the teaching team grows richer from each other's methods. In March 2026, the final evaluation of the classes takes place.

As in the other NK Seeds schools, international volunteers are welcomed all year round to support the local teachers. A way to share methods, and to learn from one another.
