Panyaden International School

Panyaden International School (PYD), located in the picturesque city of Chiang Mai, Thailand, offers a unique blend of modern multilingual curriculum, environmental mindfulness, and Buddhist principles. The school caters to students aged 2 to 18, providing a holistic education that nurtures physical, moral, emotional, and intellectual development. With a student body of 480 and class sizes averaging 19 students, Panyaden creates a nurturing and community-oriented environment where the school, families, and the wider community work together to develop resilient, thoughtful, and caring individuals.

In the Early Years Program, children engage in play-based learning within a natural setting through a combination of adult-led and child-initiated activities. The British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum ensures a robust foundation in literacy, numeracy, and general education, facilitated by a team of highly skilled English and Thai teachers. As students progress to primary school, they follow the British Curriculum and the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), which together offer a strong academic program that emphasizes thematic and inquiry-based learning.

For older students, the International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC) bridges the primary curriculum and prepares students for high school by fostering intellectual and personal growth. The school’s focus on intercultural awareness and communication equips students with the tools they need to thrive in a global context. Finally, high school students can pursue the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma, a rigorous university-preparatory program recognized worldwide. With a comprehensive educational approach that combines academic excellence, values-based education, and community involvement, Panyaden International School is committed to molding competent global citizens and the leaders of tomorrow.
