About this school
American Prep International School (APIS) in Hat Yai was co-founded in June 2015 by Dr. Phakdee Mangmiwatthana and Dr. Adelino Libato, the team behind California Prep International School in Saraburi. It holds a government licence to operate as an international school with an American curriculum. Its vision is to be an elementary school with a personalised, student-centred approach.
Teaching follows the California state standards, adapted with Thai and regional content. Subjects include English language arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, IT, Art, Music and PE, plus the Thai language and culture lessons required by the Ministry of Education. Textbooks are digital: from Grade 4 each student uses a laptop, and learning moves gradually towards a blended e-learning model. The site also describes a middle school section with 1:1 devices.
All planning is built around five cross-curricular values: collaboration, critical thinking, creativity, compassion and communication. Field trips, retreats, camps and cultural celebrations are part of school life. APIS is a full member of the International Schools Association of Thailand (ISAT).
