Welcome to the website of International School Bangkok (ISB). We hope that the information we have provided about our school is useful to you. If it isn't, please contact any of us at ISB and we will do our very best to help.
ISB recently celebrated its birthday and it has been a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the school's history and its impact on the different generations of students, teachers, parents and staff.
The modern facility we see today is a far cry from 1951 and the original wooden building on stilts that was our campus on the grounds of the U.S. Embassy. It is also very different from the days when we had a Sukhumvit campus when our enrollment soared to over 3,600 students during the Vietnam War and two school sessions per day were needed.
This will be argued fervently by past generations of ISB students, but the ISB students of today are the most fortunate in the school's history. We are blessed with a magnificent and beautiful campus, all the technology we can wish for, superb facilities for athletics and the arts, and a great learning environment.
Most importantly of all, however, we are privileged to have 220 of the best educators from around the world, an international student body of over 1,900 students and 60 nationalities, and a wonderfully supportive Thai staff.
A good school is not about the facilities and the resources, but about the people and its core beliefs. Our core beliefs are represented well in our Mission Statement:
Through outstanding teaching in a nurturing and supportive environment, ISB inspires students to:
Achieve their academic potential
Be passionate, reflective learners
Become caring global citizens, and
Lead healthy, active and balanced lives
These four bullet points represent the main "transportable gifts" that we want ISB students to take away with them when they move to college or to other schools. ISB has a long tradition of educating students for success in the world community and we look forward to many more years of continuing with this tradition.
If we can help you with anything, please make contact with us and we will gladly follow up.
