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.”
When the new TSI Primary/Middle School @ Bearing opens in August 2025, the total campus area will be nearly 8 acres, with 2.8 acres just for our new primary school. TSI Bearing will offer families a one campus option for learners aged 2-18 years.
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.
Phase one of the new primary school will incorporate classrooms and specialist learning areas for STEAM, ICT, the Arts and Languages. The large multipurpose hall on floor 2 will sit upon a modern cafeteria that will serve healthy food that kids typically love to eat.
The centre court of the new school will be a multipurpose area for play and outdoor learning, as well as an area for community gatherings. Behind the school there will be a spacious, natural playground.
Aside from the package, why should you join TSI International School?
We have a great team of staff; friendly, competent and dedicated (Noted by CIS evaluators and another recent leadership consultant who visited the school)
A strong, cohesive and stable leadership team (CIS feedback) who have been working together for 6+ years at TSI
A very clear vision for schooling and learning as represented in our Guiding Statements (see our website: www.tsi.ac.th)
Professional autonomy and trust
Incredibly strong sense of community and an increasingly diverse mix of nationalities (35 in November 2024). Both of our campuses have a 'family' feel. (Student feedback supports this)
A non-profit school with a Board of Governors that are committed to returning all funds back into school development
A commitment to staff development
