**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.

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.”_

The new primary school is modern, safe and functional. It has been carefully designed to meet the developmental needs of children as they pass through the first three Key Stages of the UK curriculum.

The regular input of school leaders on design and functionality has been incorporated into the design of our new primary school, prioritising educational functionality over design trends that will come and go. The primary/middle school will connect seamlessly to the existing secondary school to ensure that we remain ONE community, and some facilities will be shared by learners of all ages.
