Lovell International School opened in August 2023 in North Pattaya, offering education from Pre‑Nursery (age 2) to Year 4 (approx. age 10). The school combines the British EYFS and Key Stage curriculum (up to Year 4) with a Reggio Emilia approach, guiding child‑led, inquiry‑based learning. The campus is designed around existing mature trees, with separate wings for different age groups, shaded courtyards, a chicken coop, bug hotel, splash pool, and climbing tunnels woven among greenery. Class sizes remain small—with early years ratios around 1:4 and primary around 1:8, averaging a 1:2 ratio across all levels. All instruction is in English, led by qualified, native‑speaking teachers. Facilities include an art studio, cooking studio, family library, gym/dance studio, and swim lessons in a splash pool. Lovell emphasises executive function development, project-based inquiry grounded in nature, and creative arts. It stands out for its forest-school style campus, where every child learns through exploration, gardening, cooking, and sensory-rich play in a treehouse-inspired environment
