Theodore International School was established in 2014 in Chumphon province to provide an international education option in the region. It was founded under Christian principles and remains a private institution. The school is licensed by the Thai Ministry of Education and has since expanded to include programs from toddler level up to Grade 12. It also became an authorized College Board SAT Test Center, supporting university preparation for students in the area.
The school community is centered around cultural and religious events such as Songkran (Thai New Year), Loy Krathong, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas celebrations. These occasions often involve both students and staff, with activities such as performances, cultural dress, and community meals. Field trips to local centers, such as the Marine and Coastal Resources Research Center, also connect students with the wider community.
The school does not publicly disclose the existence of a formal Parent Teacher Association (PTA) or its activities. While parents are clearly involved in community events and school functions, there is no published information about structured PTA groups, committees, or parent-led activities. Families are encouraged to communicate directly with the school administration for involvement opportunities.
