Phuket Island is known, first of all, as a place for a great holiday with an ancient mysterious culture, bright, unusual, multi-colored nature and breathtaking landscapes.

But few people know that here you can not only relax, but also quite successfully combine business with pleasure. And at a very high level. Since 1997, the British International School, Phuket has been offering quality education for children of all ages. For the youngest children, from 1.5 years old, there is a kindergarten.

About 850 children from different countries of the world, including Russia, study at the school, so the school has Russian-speaking staff who are ready to help the student and his parents. About 50% are foreign students from 44 countries of the world (Korea, China, Japan, European countries). The parents of these children are hotel managers, diplomats, property owners in Thailand.

During the initial stage of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), a large number of play activities are held for the education and development of children. Children have useful experiences, they can explore, discover and create something new, this is a good foundation for future learning.

  • Personal, social and emotional development
  • Communication and language
  • Physical development
  • Literacy
  • Mathematics
  • Understanding the world
  • Art and design

Children's learning is constantly supervised: teachers carefully observe the little ones, set them tasks and help each child make progress in moving to the next stages of development. Learning is based on short themes, such as "Dinosaurs", "Princesses", "Insects" or "Fire trucks". These topics are chosen based on children's interests.

Ducklings - minimum 18 months. Children turn 2 years old during the school year.
