PBISS International School Koh Samui is more than just a place where lessons happen, it’s where children begin a lifelong journey of learning, discovery, and personal growth. Located on the beautiful island of Koh Samui, our campus provides a safe, inspiring space for children from all over the world to learn, play, and thrive.
From the Early Years Foundation Stage through to Key Stage levels, we follow the English National Curriculum enriched with the Cambridge approach. This ensures every child receives a globally respected education, while benefiting from small classes, experienced teachers, and a supportive community that values diversity. Our student population represents over 40 nationalities, offering every child the chance to grow alongside peers from different cultures and backgrounds, a key foundation for becoming a confident global citizen.
Building Strong Foundations from an Early Age
We know the early years are a crucial time in a child’s development. Our Early Years programme is designed to nurture curiosity, creativity, and confidence from the moment children join us, whether that’s at the start of the academic year or mid-term, as we are happy to accept children year-round.
Learning at this stage is hands-on and play-based. Children are encouraged to explore their environment, develop their language skills, and express themselves through activities that stimulate both body and mind. Our teachers use the EYFS framework to guide progress, tracking students’ progress closely and sharing regular updates with parents. This close partnership ensures each child feels supported and understood from their very first day.
A Primary School Experience That Inspires
As children move into our Primary School, the curriculum expands to include English, mathematics, science, humanities, and more. Lessons are engaging and interactive, designed to help students develop essential skills in reading, writing, vocabulary, and grammar, while also building confidence in public speaking and collaboration.
Beyond the core subjects, children enjoy courses in Thai language and culture, music, physical education, art, and robotics. These different areas of study help our students connect with their surroundings in Thailand while gaining a well-rounded education that prepares them for the future.
English Language Support for Every Learner
As a trusted English school in Koh Samui, we place a strong focus on English language development. Whether English is a child’s first language or a second language, our dedicated teachers provide tailored support.
Students learning English as an additional language receive personalised instruction, small-group sessions, or one-to-one tutoring, depending on their needs. Our goal is to help every student speak, read, and write with confidence, so they can fully access the curriculum and participate in all aspects of school life.
A School Day Designed for Balance
Our school day is structured to balance academic focus with creativity, movement, and social interaction. Mornings often centre on core subjects, while afternoons bring opportunities for extra-curricular activities such as sports, music, drama, coding, or art.
Small class sizes mean teachers can offer personalised feedback, guiding students to overcome challenges and celebrate successes. This balanced approach ensures children enjoy coming to school and leave each day feeling motivated and proud of their progress.
World-Class Facilities on a Welcoming Campus
Our campus combines modern facilities with a warm, family-friendly atmosphere. Classrooms are bright, spacious, and equipped with the latest technology. Outdoor play areas, a swimming pool, science labs, a music room, and a STEM innovation centre give students the resources they need to explore their interests and talents.
For our youngest learners, we provide dedicated play spaces where early learning happens naturally through play and discovery. These environments help children build social skills, independence, and confidence from an early age.
A Supportive Community That Puts Families First
At PBISS, we believe education works best when school and families are deeply involved. Our teachers, parents, and students form a supportive community where respect, empathy, and encouragement are part of daily life.
Regular communication keeps parents informed, while events and activities allow families to be active participants in their child’s learning journey. Students facing academic or personal challenges have access to additional support from trained staff, ensuring no child feels left behind.
Preparing Students for a Successful Future
Every child at PBISS is guided towards becoming capable, confident, and compassionate. Through personalised teaching, regular assessments, and a focus on both academic and personal growth, we prepare students for the next stage of their education, whether that’s moving into higher Key Stage levels, secondary school, or eventually university.
Our graduates leave with more than just knowledge. They carry with them the skills, resilience, and cultural awareness needed to navigate an interconnected world. This is what makes our approach truly global from the early age onwards.
PBISS International School Koh Samui is committed to giving every child the best possible start, combining the strength of a British education with the vibrancy of life in Thailand. From the moment your child joins us, they’ll be part of a community that encourages them to dream big, work hard, and become the best version of themselves.
