About this school
Lamai International School (LIS) is a small, family-style international primary school in Maret, near Lamai Beach on Koh Samui. It has been teaching children since 2016 and caters for ages 3 to 11, from the Early Years Foundation Stage to Year 6. A Thai director handles regulatory matters and a long-serving headteacher leads teaching.
Teaching follows the English National Curriculum, supported by selected Cambridge resources, with regular assessments to track each child's progress. The three stages are:
- Foundation Stage (ages 3-5): play-based learning and early skills
- Key Stage 1 (ages 5-7): structured literacy and numeracy
- Key Stage 2 (ages 7-11): deeper subject knowledge, independence and problem solving
Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) is built into the curriculum rather than taught as a separate subject. In ESD units, children study a global issue or UN Sustainable Development Goal, look at how it affects Koh Samui, and then take action in their community. The school also runs social-emotional learning around six character traits, English as an Additional Language support and extra-curricular activities.
