Tara Pattana International School
About Tara Pattana (TPIS)
A school where children are known
Tara Pattana offers a close, family-feeling school environment where students are known as individuals. With all age groups on one campus, teachers and school leaders can build strong relationships with students and families throughout their school journey. The school combines a personal approach with the resources and opportunities of a larger international school network.
British education with strong Thai roots
TPIS follows the English National Curriculum through IGCSE and A Level, while adapting the curriculum to its Thai setting. For families who want a British education without losing their connection to Thailand, this is an important part of the school’s identity. Thai language, culture and heritage are embedded throughout the curriculum, with Thai First Language and Thai Additional Language pathways available.
Strong academics, with individual support
TPIS combines high academic expectations with a focus on individual progress. Students are taught by a qualified and experienced teaching team, including educators with Master's and PhD qualifications. The school also provides tailored learning pathways and English Language Learning Support, helping students with different starting points and learning needs access the curriculum and make strong progress.
Global opportunities through ISP
As part of International Schools Partnership (ISP), TPIS gives students access to opportunities beyond the school itself. Students can take part in international learning programmes, competitions, collaborations and residential experiences, connecting with other students across the ISP network and developing a broader international perspective.
Education beyond the classroom
There is a strong focus on developing students as confident, capable young people, not just preparing them for examinations. Leadership programmes, Model United Nations, Student Voice, sport, performing arts, community activities and other co-curricular opportunities give students space to develop independence, communication, resilience and leadership.
A school that keeps future pathways open
TPIS supports students in making informed decisions about their next steps, from choosing IGCSE subjects through to university and career planning. The combination of IGCSE, A Level, university guidance and a wide range of academic and co-curricular experiences gives students a strong foundation for different pathways after school.
