About this school
Suratthani International School (STIS) was founded in 2014. It is about ten minutes' drive from downtown Surat Thani, on Phorkhuntale Road, and teaches children aged roughly 2 to 12. English is the language of instruction and Mandarin is compulsory. The school says it welcomes more than 100 families.
STIS is an International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) candidate school working towards authorisation as an IB World School. Its programme is divided as follows:
- EY Prep (ages 2-3): a play-based framework linked to the PYP
- Early Years (Kindergarten 1-3): inquiry- and play-based learning built around transdisciplinary themes
- Primary (Grades 1-5): the IB PYP
Teachers follow a "Learning First" approach to personalised learning, and MAP assessments are used to track progress. The school shows Cognia, ONESQA and ISAT affiliations on its website. A learning support coordinator and an on-site counsellor support students.
The green campus has classrooms designed for young children. It also has ICT, creative, science, dance and music studios, a sports hall, play spaces, gardens and a library. Clubs include football, STEM, book club and debate.
