About TSI

TSI International School has been educating students since 1985 and was one of Bangkok’s first international schools. TSI is a non-profit school governed by a charitable foundation. In 2017, the school began a renewal process with new management and a complete review of our Values and Guiding Statements. Over the past seven years the school has gone from strength to strength and we continue to see a significant increase in enrolments as our reputation for providing world-class international schooling grows.

In August 2025 we are opening our new state-of-the-art primary school at our Bearing Campus. Last year we had Council of International Schools (CIS) evaluators conduct their Preparatory Evaluation visit and provided positive feedback about our staff and direction. TSI students have achieved excellent IGCSE and A-Level results and are now studying at universities around the world. Our Bearing Campus is a few minutes from Bearing BTS station, while the Wongwianyai Campus is close to popular residential areas of Bangkok. The Bearing campus offers extensive outdoor sports facilities, a large gymnasium, an open-air swimming pool and modern classroom environments.

Why join TSI International School?

• Friendly, competent and dedicated staff team (noted by CIS evaluators).
• Strong, cohesive and stable leadership team who have worked together for 6+ years at TSI.
• A clear vision for schooling and learning represented in our Guiding Statements (see our website: www.tsi.ac.th).
• Professional autonomy and trust.
• Incredibly strong sense of community with over 30 nationalities.
• A non-profit school with plans for significant growth and new facilities.
• A commitment to staff development.
