BCIS Phuket International School, located in Chalong, Thailand, is a co-educational day school serving children aged 18 months to 18 years. The school offers two distinct academic streams: the British Cambridge pathway (from EYFS through A Levels) and the French National Curriculum, both taught on a single integrated campus. With average class sizes of 17, the school promotes close teacher-student interaction. BCIS is particularly recognised for its STEM facilities, including Phuket’s only school-based planetarium, hydroponics lab, robotics centre, and a horticultural research space. Students from both curriculum streams share access to the sports complex, Olympic-size swimming pool, and outdoor learning areas. The school community includes over 50 nationalities and offers support for English as an Additional Language. After-school activities span creative, academic, and service-oriented clubs. This structure provides students with a multilingual, multicultural environment that supports academic progression aligned with international benchmarks.
