Si Ri Panya International School follows the British National Curriculum in Primary (ages 5–11), using a topic-based “Big Idea” approach where subjects are linked under a common theme each term. The Early Years Foundation Stage (ages 3–5) focuses on key developmental areas through play-based and structured activities. In Secondary (ages 11–16), students follow the Cambridge Lower and Upper Secondary programmes, leading to IGCSE examinations in the final two years. Key Stage 3 (Years 7–9) includes English (first language or ESL), Mathematics, Science, Global Perspectives, Thai, Computing, Design & Technology, Food Technology, Art, History, Geography, Physical Education, and PSHE. Assessment is supported by Cambridge progression tests each term, which help monitor and guide learning. The curriculum aims to prepare students for internationally recognised qualifications while maintaining continuity from Early Years through to the end of Key Stage 4.
Si Ri Panya International School on Koh Phangan opened in 2012 and gained its official international school license in September 2019, offering British primary education and Cambridge IGCSE qualifications. Set in the serene Ban Tai area, the campus is easily accessible on the island yet surrounded by lush, green outdoor learning spaces. The school serves ages 3 to 18, with class sizes capped at 20 and around 155 students from over 20 nationalities. The school delivers the British National Curriculum in primary and Cambridge IGCSEs in secondary, taught in English, with Thai, Spanish, and French offered as subject languages. Facilities include science and design-technology labs, two libraries, and a covered basketball court. Notably, the school holds the Eco-Schools Green Flag Award and runs Koh Phangan’s first Precious Plastic recycling project, integrating sustainability into student learning. Leadership comes from Director Nicola Bunchuay, and day-school transport is available. Si Ri Panya blends curricular focus with environmental initiative in a supportive island setting.
