PAIS delivers a multi-stage program: Nursery follows Early Years guidelines. Primary School (Grades 1–5) uses the American curriculum with Common Core standards, plus Thai, Chinese or Arabic language as subjects. Lower Secondary (Grades 6–10) follows the IB Middle Years Programme, and Upper Secondary (Grades 11–12) is the IB Diploma Programme. Core subjects include English, math, science (aligned with NGSS), languages, arts, PE, and IT.
Pan‑Asia International School (PAIS), founded in 2004, serves students aged 2–18 in Bangkok’s Prawet district. It follows an American curriculum up to Grade 5, transitioning into the IB Middle Years Programme for Grades 6–10 and the IB Diploma Programme for Grades 11–12. The campus is located in a suburban green zone about 200 m off a major road, and includes science and IT labs, an auditorium, swimming pools, and sports fields. Languages taught include English, Thai, Chinese, and Arabic. After‑school clubs offer sports, music, arts & crafts, mental maths, and homework support. A signature feature is the use of international standards: Common Core and Next Generation Science Standards, alongside the IB framework, supported by facilities like a Mac lab and makerspace. Accredited by WASC and Thailand’s Ministry of Education, PAIS hosts around 470 students representing over 40 nationalities.
