NIST International School
NIST International School is an international school located in the Watthana District of Bangkok, Thailand. It was established in 1992 with support and guidance from the Bangkok-based branch of the United Nations. A full International Baccalaureate (IB) World School, it welcomes more than 1,700 students of over 60 nationalities. As one of the only not-for-profit international schools in Thailand, it is governed by the parent-elected NIST International School Foundation.
The school is famous for its campuses as well. As of 2014, it has expanded its physical facilities and now possesses dedicated buildings for the early years, elementary and secondary sections. It also includes a sports complex, a creative arts building, and two additional multi-purpose buildings. A fourth multi-purpose building, the Hub, was completed in June 2014, while renovation of the older facilities began.
There are many other facilities such as art, multiple visual arts studios, multiple instrumental and vocal music rooms, private practice rooms, and a recording studio. It also focuses on sports, namely a sports hall with multiple basketball and volleyball courts, a swimming pool, and two tennis courts, especially football, which has a FIFA-certified football pitch.
In terms of its curriculum, NIST offers all three programs of the International Baccalaureate. All classes, except second language courses, are taught in English. Through its learning sections, teachers and staff also emphasize collaboration, hands-on learning, and exploration. Students learn both on and off campus through service activities, internships, and the school's annual off-campus experiential learning trips as well.
