Introduction

Ruamrudee International School Phuket (RIS Phuket) is a coastal international school located at 22/28 Moo 3, Chalong, Phuket, on a seaside campus designed to blend indoor classrooms with natural, outdoor surroundings. The school currently accepts children from about age 2 (Pre-K 2) through Grade 8, with plans to expand to higher grades over time. Instruction is in English, following a modified American curriculum aligned with AERO standards, while early years (nursery and kindergarten) follow a Reggio-inspired, play- and exploration-based approach. Class sizes remain small — roughly 18 students per class in elementary and middle school — allowing for close attention to each child’s learning and development. Among its notable strengths are opportunities for outdoor education (leveraging its coastal setting), a dedicated STEM/Innovation Lab program, and a focus on service and sustainability in line with the school’s “Head, Hands, and Heart” philosophy. RIS Phuket also offers extracurricular clubs and activities — ranging from creative arts and sports to environmental awareness and community service — helping students explore a range of interests beyond academics.

The Essentials

Ruamrudee International School Phuket has 1,200 pupils, typical class sizes of 18, instruction in English.

Location
Ruamrudee International School Phuket sits in the Chalong area on Phuket’s southeast coast, an area known for residential neighbourhoods, marinas, and easy access to beaches. The school describes itself as a “seaside campus,” and photos and descriptions emphasise outdoor learning spaces influenced by the coastal environment. Transport information is not listed on the website, but Chalong is accessible by major island roads, with travel routes connecting to Phuket Town and the Rawai–Kata area.

Stages
RIS Phuket offers education from Early Years through Middle School. Published information shows the campus currently serves Pre-K2 to Grade 8, which generally includes children ages about 3 to 14. The school structures learning into Early Years, Elementary, and Middle School sections, with curriculum and specialist subjects increasing in complexity as students move into the upper grades.

Type
The school operates as a co-educational day school, welcoming both boys and girls. There is no indication of any boarding arrangements, temporary lodging, or residential programmes on the Phuket campus. All references to learning and activities describe a day-school environment, with students returning home at the end of the school day.

Additional learning support
RIS Phuket does not publicly disclose information about learning support services such as Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision, dedicated support teachers, or intervention programmes. There is no mention of learning support departments, assessment pathways, or accommodations on the school website. Based on available information, it is unclear what type of additional learning support—if any—is offered.

Country affiliation
The school does not state an affiliation with any specific country. It follows an international curriculum framework (American-aligned), but this does not constitute a national affiliation.

Religious affiliation
RIS Phuket does not indicate any religious affiliation on its website. No references are made to religious instruction, chapels, religious observances, or faith-based governance.

School day structure
RIS Phuket does not publicly provide detailed information about daily schedules such as start and end times, break periods, or lunch arrangements. This information is not published on its website or accessible through linked pages.

Bus service
The school website does not provide any information confirming the availability of a school bus or transport service. Some third-party directories list transport as available, but the school itself does not publish transport details, so this cannot be confirmed. As of the publicly accessible website content, no transport service description, provider information, routes, or sign-up procedures are mentioned.

Fees

Annual tuition at Ruamrudee International School Phuket ranges from THB 525,500 to THB 803,500 for 2026/27.

Academics

Ruamrudee International School Phuket teaches American Curriculum, EYFS (Early years foundation stage) for students aged 2 to 14.

Curriculum
RIS Phuket follows a modified American curriculum based on AERO academic standards from Early Years through Middle School. The Early Years programme incorporates elements of the Creative Curriculum and uses a play-based, exploratory approach suited to young learners. As students progress into Elementary and Middle School, the curriculum expands to include English language arts, mathematics, science, social studies, and specialist subjects such as art, music, and physical education. Instruction is delivered in English, with Thai and Mandarin typically included as additional language options. The school does not yet publish information about external qualifications for upper secondary levels, as the Phuket campus currently operates only up to Grade 8. As it stands, students follow a continuous American-style international programme that builds skills progressively across the early and middle years.

Admissions

Admissions
1. School Visit / Tour
Before submitting an application, the school recommends (but does not strictly require) that families visit the campus. This helps parents and children get to know the school, see the facilities, and understand its philosophy.

2. Application Submission
Families complete an online application form provided by RIS Phuket. Along with the application, relevant documentation must be submitted (passport or visa status for non-Thais; birth certificate/household registration for Thai nationals, etc., depending on the applicant’s status). At the time of application, a non-refundable application fee of THB 5,000 is required.

3. Screening / Developmental Observation / Admissions Testing
Once application and documentation are submitted, prospective students undergo a screening or developmental observation session by RIS Phuket administrators. For younger children (e.g. Early Years), this may focus on developmental readiness; older children may have academic assessments depending on grade level.

4. Offer & Enrollment Confirmation
If the student passes the screening, the school offers a place. Parents then confirm enrollment (typically by paying tuition and/or deposits, though RIS Phuket does not publicly publish full fee structure or payment schedule for confirmed students).

5. Begin Schooling
Once enrolled, the student starts at RIS Phuket in the appropriate level (Early Years, Primary or Middle School) according to age and readiness.
