NIST International School

NIST International School, located in the heart of Bangkok, Thailand, stands out as the first and only full, not-for-profit International Baccalaureate (IB) school in the city. Established in 1992 with the backing of the United Nations, NIST has grown to accommodate over 1,700 students from more than 60 different nationalities. This vibrant community emphasizes a commitment to nurturing growth, empowering individual excellence, and enriching lives, all while governed by a parent-elected foundation that ensures shared values and goals.

The school offers all three IB programmes, catering to students aged 3 to 18. Its curriculum is designed to initiate a love for learning through a play-based approach in early years, gradually evolving into a more self-directed and reflective style as students progress to the IB Diploma Programme. With a focus on inquiry and exploration, NIST fosters a growth mindset and seeks to cultivate learners who are not just academically proficient, but also passionate and caring individuals prepared for the challenges of an interconnected world. With average class sizes of 21 and a maximum of 23, personalized attention and tailored learning experiences are prioritized to support each child’s unique educational journey.
