NIST International School
The first and only full, not-for-profit International Baccalaureate (IB) international school in Bangkok, Thailand, NIST International School was established in 1992 with the support of the United Nations. The school now welcomes over 1,700 students who represent more than 60 nationalities and provides all three IB programs. Governed by the parent-elected NIST International School Foundation, its community shares a meaningful mission: NIST inspires growth, empowers individual excellence, and enriches lives.
Specifically, the IB permeates its philosophy and approach at all levels, and the school is recognized as one of the best IB schools in the world. From the early years, in which play and exploration play central roles in developing inquiry as a skill, to the Diploma Programme, in which students direct their learning and adopt a growth mindset, it cultivates learners who are reflective, passionate, and caring.
Besides, although its rigorous academic standards and performance often receive the most attention, the NIST program provides a comprehensive and globally focused education for all of students. The school is a celebration of diversity, innovation, and continuous growth. The heritage is one of a multicultural, multinational, and multilingual community. Therefore, every child, regardless of their background, is nurtured and valued here.
NIST International School also allows its students to choose from 300 activities across eight areas: academics, creative arts, enrichment, music, performing arts, service, sports, and STEM. Competitive inter-school sports are also offered through the Falcons sports teams, which include badminton, basketball, fencing, golf, gymnastics, rugby, soccer/football, softball, swimming, T-ball, tennis, track & field, and volleyball.
