Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Submit Application & Documents
Parents begin by submitting an online application via the Apply Now page, along with required documents like birth certificate, previous school reports, and identification.
2. Assessment & Offers
While the site does not detail formal testing, the Admissions Procedure Policy implies that, once all documentation and fees are received, the school proceeds with enrollment and issues an offer for confirmed placement.
3. Confirm Placement & Pay Fees
To secure the place, parents must make the required payments (application, admissions fee, and security deposit) and formally accept the offer as guided through the application process.
4. Enrollment Finalised
Upon completion of the above, the student’s enrollment is finalised, and a start date is confirmed by the school.
The school does not publicly disclose any waitlist or pool system for admissions. There is no information available on the website indicating that PBISS operates such a system.
PBISS offers scholarships to current students who demonstrate outstanding records, including academic performance and other achievements. Details on the application process, eligibility criteria, or the scope of scholarships are not publicly disclosed on the website.
PBISS International School on Koh Samui began in 2005 and teaches students aged 2 to 18, following the Cambridge International Standards blended with a STEM+ approach, meaning science, technology, engineering, and math are built into every stage. The campus hosts a STEM+ Innovation Centre, a hub where students work on hands-on projects like 3D printing, laser cutting, and vinyl crafting, and even participate in events like the Theme Park Challenge alongside a STEM Expo. In the youngest years, children engage in activities such as robotics, hydroponic gardening, and even a STEM Farm, alongside learning with tools like balance bikes and Lego tables. Secondary learners move into Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level courses under a “Learning to Mastery” philosophy that emphasises thinking and creation, not mere memorisation. Located in Chaweng Noi on Koh Samui, the school brings together international education and a distinctively hands-on, STEM-infused learning experience.
