About this school
Lighthouse International School Phuket is run by the Canadian Excel Group and was founded by Dan and Melissa Skitch, parents of six children at the school. It operates three sites in southern Phuket: a kindergarten in Chalong and primary and secondary schools in Rawai, serving children aged 2 to 18. The school is a member of ISAT and is accredited for the Alberta and Cambridge programmes.
The primary school (ages 5–12) follows the British National Curriculum, and the secondary school (ages 12–18) follows the Alberta (Canadian) curriculum, leading to the Alberta High School Diploma. A Cambridge pathway to IGCSE is also offered. Secondary students take business and entrepreneurship courses with a focus on AI literacy, and English support is provided for bilingual learners. A French department, run with the Jean de La Fontaine bilingual school, teaches CP to CM2 in classes of no more than 12, about 60% in French and 40% in English.
The newer secondary campus has a STEM and science lab, an artificial football pitch, a covered sports court and a cafeteria. The school runs the APEX Lions Football Academy, holiday camps and an extracurricular programme, and offers scholarships.
