Wells International School began as EverClever Kindergarten in Bangkok in 1998 and expanded through Thong Lo and On Nut campuses before opening its Chonburi Campus in August 2022 following a groundbreaking ceremony on December 25, 2021. It is part of the EverClever Education Group, a Thai-owned organization with international ties including Framingham State University. The Chonburi campus represents the fifth in the Wells family and reflects the system’s long-standing education legacy.
Wells hosts events that bring together multiple campuses, such as the Survival Camp for Grades 4–5 and cross-campus Science collaboration days in Chonburi and Bangkok. The campus also organizes K1 visits to local fire stations, Christmas Galas, and charity visits to nearby community schools like Ban Huay Yang. These activities illustrate active student engagement and community involvement.
Although Wells does not publish a formal PTA structure or committee roles on its Chonburi campus page, the school does involve families in event planning and participation. Parents regularly join Open House, cultural gala nights, and community service outings that bring together students, teachers, and family members. These events are coordinated through campus leadership and admissions teams to support community engagement. Specific PTA group descriptions are not publicly detailed, but active parent involvement is evident in event participation.
Wells International School’s Chonburi Campus opened in August 2022 as Wells’ fifth campus in Thailand, serving students aged 2 to about 14 (nursery through Grade 8) and expanding gradually to Grade 12 by August 2024. Set on an agricultural site in Ban Bueng, Chonburi Province, the school blends a modified American curriculum with AP and IB Diploma options at upper levels and integrates Thai sustainability values through hands‑on farm learning and the “baan‑wat‑rong rien” lifestyle philosophy. Class sizes are capped around 25; current enrolment is about 150 and growing. Students are taught in English by native‑English teachers and the campus provides a bus service for local families.
