Since 1990 MYIS (formerly Magic Years International School) has been providing early childhood education to children in and around Bangkok.

Find out how MYIS has grown since then!

1990-1994: Sukhumvit Campus

MYIS started as “Magic Years” in February 1990 in the house of the director in Sukhumvit Soi 42 in downtown Bangkok. The school began with four children, two of them children of International School Bangkok (ISB) teachers. By 1992 the school grew to 16 children and two teachers.

1994-2006: Sarawanville Campus

In August 1994, a second branch of MYIS opened in Chaengwattana Soi 28 (Mooban Sarawanville), shortly after ISB moved to its new location in Nichada Thani. The school, housed in a reconverted townhouse, opened with one teacher and six children. By December 1994, the school grew to 16 children. Soon more classes were opened. As enrollment continued to increase, the school occupied a second adjacent reconverted townhouse as well as a vacant green space to serve as a playground.

2006-2016: Muang Thong Thani Campus

To accommodate its growing numbers, the school moved to a new location in a state-of-the-art facility in Muang Thong Thani in April 2006. It featured an extensive open space, a swimming pool, an indoor gym, and landscaped gardens. By this time, MYIS was considered one of the leading international pre-schools in the greater Bangkok area, offering high-quality education to children ranging from 1 to 7 years old.

2017 – Present: Samakee Campus

Our new home was officially opened in 2017. The school sits on a convenient 10 rai plot of land equipped with newly-built and specially-designed facilities to accommodate the needs of young children. MYIS International School is the first IB World School in Nonthaburi offering the Primary Years Program and offers Pre-school to Grade 6 (1 – 12 years old) with plans to expand to High School soon after.

2023- Present A New Chapter: The MYP Journey

A New Chapter: The MYP Journey
In March 2023, MYIS International School became a Candidate School for the IB Middle Years Programme (MYP). This school is pursuing authorization as an IB World School. These are schools that share a common philosophy—a commitment to high quality, challenging, international education that MYIS believes is essential for our students.
Since candidacy began, we have successfully completed the MYP Consultancy stage and are currently preparing for our Verification Visit. Becoming an IB World School offering the MYP represents the next exciting step in our mission to provide a continuum of globally recognized, inquiry-based learning that supports the whole child.
*Only schools authorized by the International Baccalaureate (IB) can offer any of its four academic programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP), the Diploma Programme, or the Career-related Programme (CP). Candidate status gives no guarantee that authorization will be granted. For further information about the IB and its programmes, visit www.ibo.org.
