About Us

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 7 years, the school has gone from strength to strength. Enrolments continue to rise significantly, driven by our strong and expanding reputation for world-class international schooling. In August 2025, we opened our second Primary School at the Bearing Campus. We have moved on from a renewal phase and are now firmly committed to school improvement and working towards reinstating our fully accredited status with CIS. We recently had Council of International Schools (CIS) evaluators visit both school campuses as part of their Preparatory Evaluation report. One evaluator posted the following on LinkedIn after the visit: My colleague and I spent the week getting to know so many of the dedicated and supportive educators and administrators, as well as the students and parents of this thriving learning community. Truly future-focused learning and teaching was witnessed during our time there. They also noted the TSI team was confidently moving the school forward into its next phase of development.

Our Bearing Campus provides excellent facilities for sport and physical education, including:

• Expansive outdoor sports spaces
• A large gymnasium
• A swimming pool
• Extensive green areas for physical activity and school sports

Why else should you join TSI International School?

• We have a great team of staff who are friendly, competent, and dedicated (noted by CIS evaluators and another recent leadership consultant who visited the school).
• A strong, cohesive, and stable leadership team (CIS feedback) that has been working together for 6+ years at TSI.
• A very clear vision for schooling and learning as represented in our Guiding Statements (see our website: www.tsi.ac.th).
• Professional autonomy and trust.
• An incredibly strong sense of community and an increasingly diverse mix of nationalities. Both of our campuses have a family feel. (Student feedback supports this.)
• A non-profit school with a Board of Governors committed to returning all funds back into school development.
• A commitment to staff development.

Thank you for taking time to consider joining our unique and special school community. If what you have researched about TSI resonates with you, we would love to receive your application.
