Lighthouse International School Phuket uses the Canadian Alberta curriculum for its Primary School programme. Core subjects such as English Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, and Social Studies are delivered through Canadian textbooks and standardized assessments led by qualified international homeroom teachers in English.
The curriculum includes a structured Thai language programme focused on spoken communication and early script writing for all students. Integrating Physical Education & Wellness, Art, Music, and Health & Social Studies, the programme reflects a well-rounded curriculum based on Alberta standards and guided learning targets.
Students engage in mixed-age, constructivist, project-based learning, including interactive marine biology and interdisciplinary activities inspired by Montessori‑Waldorf methodology. Assessment is ongoing, combining weekly tasks, quizzes, presentations, and reflective projects mapped to clear learning objectives.
Lighthouse International School Phuket’s Primary School campus in Rawai offers education for children aged 5 to 12 (Grades 1–6). It follows the Canadian Alberta curriculum, featuring native English-speaking teachers and Canadian-style assessments. Younger grades experience a Montessori-inspired approach with practical, project-based learning. Students take part in marine biology excursions, engaging directly with Phuket’s coastal environment. Class sizes average about 10 students, allowing personalized attention. Subject lessons include English, Thai, and French. The campus is situated in a residential, coastal neighbourhood off Wiset Road, close to beaches and local amenities. A distinctive feature is the school’s hands-on marine science programme, where children explore the natural surroundings through outdoor learning, an opportunity grounded in Phuket’s island context.
