Magic Years International School (MYIS) in Pakkret, Nonthaburi, welcomes children aged 1 to 16 and follows the IB PYP (Primary Years Programme) and is pursuing IB MYP candidacy beginning with Grade 10 from August 2024, expanding through Grade 12 by 2026. On a 1.5‑acre campus just outside the Nichada Thani expat community, the school features an outdoor farm with goats, chickens, fish and turtles, where students tend plants and animals daily. A gymnasium, sports field, and salt‑water pool, alongside a Design Technology / STEM lab, Visual Arts studio, music room, library, and playgrounds, support practical and active learning. Inquiry is core to learning: even the youngest children begin to learn through inquiry, guided by a curriculum enhanced by PYP philosophy. A signature program is the farm‑based outdoor learning initiative: daily student engagement in gardening and animal care that connects classroom concepts to real‑world ecology and responsibility. Class sizes are small, with a 1:5 teacher‑student ratio across divisions.
