The International School Eastern Seaboard (ISE) was established by Northbridge Communities and opened in August 1994, initially serving around 35 students and growing to nearly 300 across grades Pre‑K through Grade 12. It remains independently operated, with no public documentation of being part of a wider group or chain.
ISE hosts a number of events that celebrate the cultural diversity of its student body, such as International Day, Songkran Festival activities, and student-led performances. These events aim to engage students, staff, and families in shared learning and community celebration. The school also supports various service initiatives and student clubs that foster teamwork and community involvement.
ISE’s PTA (Parent Teacher Association) plays a central role in organizing community events such as the annual Family Fun Fair, featuring games, performances, food stalls, cultural booths, and fundraising activities. The PTA also supports initiatives like school spirit events and seasonal celebrations. While the website highlights the PTA’s involvement, detailed information on its formal structure, leadership roles, or meeting schedules is not publicly disclosed.
The International School Eastern Seaboard (ISE) in Chonburi, Thailand, welcomes students aged 2 through Grade 12 within a leafy campus set beside Burapha Golf Club, about 30 minutes from Pattaya and 20 minutes from Chonburi City. ISE delivers an American curriculum based on AERO standards from Pre‑Kindergarten to Grade 10, and then offers Advanced Placement courses and the IB Diploma Programme in Grades 11 and 12. With class sizes kept small (below an 8:1 student‑teacher ratio), students receive individualized attention. The school teaches English as its language of instruction, and offers Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish as additional languages. Beyond core subjects, the school integrates service learning through CAS, MUN, and sustainability themes tied to UN SDGs. Athletics and outdoor education make use of the golf‑club environment. The school’s Fine Arts Centre hosts visual and performing arts activities. ISE also provides ESL support to help international students meet academic standards.
