Why MYIS?
IB PYP and MYP
The IB Primary and Middle Years Programs serve as a framework for the MYIS curriculum. This framework helps guide our approaches to teaching and learning across all classrooms. Through the IB framework, MYIS draws on research and best practices to ensure high quality learning for all.
Facilities
Our facilities are purpose-built to ensure the needs of a diverse range of learners are met. They include sports fields and gymnasiums, three swimming pools including our competitive 25-meter indoor pool, large open-plan classrooms with indoor-outdoor spaces, design technology, math and science labs, a state of the art kitchen and enclosed cafeteria, music, art and world language studios, challenging student-centered playgrounds and more!
High Quality Learning
At MYIS we approach learning in all subject areas; from Math to Language, Science, Social Studies, Arts, Personal, Social & Physical Education, STEM and beyond, with the spirit of inquiry and the goal of developing lifelong skills and conceptual understanding. Learning at MYIS empowers students with autonomy and choice and upholds high expectations, challenging all students to reach their potential.
Excellence in Teaching
Our educators at MYIS bring a love for learning, a belief in the capacity of each student, and a combined wealth of experience in best-practice curriculum and pedagogy. Our teacher's knowledge of whole child development and their understanding of each student's skills and abilities makes all the difference when it comes to student learning and well-being.
MYIS Family
At MYIS we believe parents, students, teachers and staff benefit from working in partnership towards the shared goal of having a positive impact on student learning. Through our Parent Working Group (PWG), parent workshops, open-doors, effective communication, reflection and more, our partnerships consistently drive us forward on our journey of growth and excellence.
Embracing Diversity
At MYIS we value International-Mindedness and seek to understand local and global perspectives in order to enrich our own community. MYIS students are global citizens who embrace differences and are proud of their own diverse identities.

History
MYIS International School was founded in 1990 as an international nursery school and daycare provider by the founder, Ms. Khanum Thampi. Her passion for nurturing young minds was the reason for MYIS’ growth over the past 30 years from a small, local international preschool to the thriving International Baccalaureate (IB) World School that it is today. MYIS now offers educational services to students from Pre-K to Primary Years Program (PYP) and all way through Middle Years Program (MYP). MYIS was also the first international school in Nonthaburi and one of the few top international schools around Bangkok and all of Thailand to be authorized for the IB Primary Years Program (PYP).
Spacious Campus
We have grown so much since 1990, there has been a need to expand in facilities, teachers and other academic resources. The current campus was opened in 2016 on a large green space within a quiet residential community in Pakkret, Nonthaburi. The campus is a modern, caring environment with facilities that flow seamlessly from the outdoor to the indoor learning spaces. The unique classrooms are large, shared learning environments where students from 1 year old up to 13 years old are encouraged to explore and create with their classmates. Transdisciplinary activities take place throughout the school day, keeping the IB students engaged and promoting inquiry-based learning methods.
Nature in Education
Along with our spacious facilities, we have a school farm complete with goats, chickens, fish and even turtles! Many varieties of plants, fruits and vegetables are grown as well. The students tend to the farm every day, giving them a valuable understanding of the natural world while also allowing them to develop skills that are often lost on so many children in today’s world. Our campus is a model for International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program schools throughout the region, Asia and across the globe. Besides the large classrooms, the current facilities include a library, multimedia lab, design technology / STEM or STEAM lab, sustainability center, sensory therapy room, maker space room, multi-purpose gymnasium, swimming pool, basketball court, volleyball court, badminton court, sports field and two spacious parking lots for the MYIS community and visitors.
Continued Growth
As we continue to expand and grow, we evolve to fit the needs of our school community. In the 2022-2023 school year, new facilities opened to accommodate our growing Middle Years Program. This expansive green space will increase the outdoor learning environment and athletic grounds and also feature a new creative arts building. The MYIS Arts Building is a state of the art, multi-story building complete with a new visual arts studio, STEM / STEAM lab, blackbox theater, world languages lab, music/dance and recording studio, 25 meter swimming pool and more. The completion of this new area of the Magic Years campus coincides with the expansion beyond a top Early Years and Primary Years school to the opening of the Middle Years program. The middle school at MYIS started with grade 6 for students 11 to 12 years old, and from 2023 onward will increase a grade level until the final high school grade 12 is reached in 2027.
For over 30 years, our school has steadily grown to become one of the best international schools for early childhood education, including preschool, nursery school, kindergarten and the primary years / elementary school. We will continue this tradition of academic excellence in middle school and high school, intending to follow IB methodologies throughout and becoming the first international school in Nonthaburi and one of only a few schools in Thailand to offer three International Baccalaureate programs for students up to 18 years of age (the IB Primary Years Programme, Middle Years Programme and Diploma Programme). In addition to being an IB World School, we are a member of the International Schools Association of Thailand (ISAT) and is accredited within the country by the Office for National Education Standards and Quality Assessment (ONESQA).
