About Us:

TSI International School has been educating students since 1985 and was one of Bangkok’s first international schools. TSI is a non-profit school governed by a charitable foundation. In 2017, the school began a renewal process with new management and a complete review of our Values and Guiding Statements. Over the past 7 years, the school has gone from strength to strength. We continue to experience a significant increase in enrolments as our reputation for providing world-class international schooling continues to grow. In August 2025, we will open our second primary school at our Bearing Campus (current secondary school). 

We have moved on from a ‘renewal’ phase and are now firmly entrenched in school improvement and working towards reinstating our fully accredited status with CIS. We recently had Council of International Schools (CIS) evaluators visit both school campuses as a part of their Preparatory Evaluation report. One evaluator posted the following on LinkedIn after the visit:

“My colleague and I spent the week getting to know so many of the dedicated and supportive educators and administrators, as well as the students and parents of this thriving learning community. Truly future-focused learning and teaching was witnessed during our time there.”

They also noted the TSI team was “confidently moving the school forward into its next phase of development.”

Aside from the package and some positive feedback from CIS, why should you join TSI International School?

We believe this about working at our school:

• Our school fosters a positive team culture and maintains an open-door policy.
• Executive Leaders welcome new initiatives and are committed to driving school improvement.
• Teachers are encouraged to take initiative and be creative in their teaching methodologies.
• We prioritise maintaining a supportive and collaborative work environment.
• Incredibly strong sense of community and an increasingly diverse mix of nationalities (35 in November 2024). 

TSI International School is a thriving, family-orientated school. We employ highly committed, western-qualified teachers who facilitate learning founded on the English National Curriculum using engaging inquiry-based teaching strategies. 

Both our Wongwianyai and Bearing campuses boast an exceptional team of teachers.

The Wongwianyai Primary School campus is an ideal environment for children aged 2-11 years to grow and learn together. It is equipped with academic, sporting and other extracurricular facilities that outshine many other international schools in the area. In addition to spacious classrooms, facilities incorporated in the design of the four-storey building include an assembly hall, air-conditioned gymnasium and dining hall. First-time visitors to the school are impressed by its beautiful, grassed playground and swimming pools.
