About this school
Finnway International School Phuket opened in 2018 as a small kindergarten and has grown into an international school licensed by the Thai Ministry of Education. Its teaching is based on the Finnish approach to education, adapted for an international community, and staff take part in ongoing professional learning in collaboration with the University of Oulu in Finland.
Children are welcomed from about 20 months of age. Pre-Kindergarten to K2 follow the Finnish Early Childhood Education and Care curriculum, K3 follows the Finnish pre-primary curriculum, and the primary years (Grades 1–6, ages 6–12) are based on the Finnish National Core Curriculum for Basic Education, taught through integrated thematic units. A lower secondary section opening in August 2026 uses the Cambridge Lower Secondary programme as a pathway toward IGCSE.
The school emphasises project-based and active learning, outdoor play after lessons, wellbeing and limited formal testing. The campus at Boat Lagoon on Thepkrasattri Road has age-specific learning spaces, school gardens and secured access, and classes make regular field trips to places such as museums, the zoo and a planetarium.
