Welcome to Tara Pattana International School

Welcome to Tara Pattana International School’s website

I’m delighted to invite you to explore this website which I hope will give you a flavour of our vibrant all-through international school community. Of course, the best way to truly appreciate the unique atmosphere of our school is to visit us and have a tour of our school.

At Tara Pattana International School we offer an educational experience that blends a knowledge-rich curriculum – that draws its strength from the National Curriculum for England – with a deep appreciation and respect for Thailand’s rich cultural heritage.

Our school community welcomes children from 2 years – when children will follow the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum – to Year 13 when students graduate with internationally-recognised qualifications. Please see our Key Stage Information Booklets or the relevant sections of our website for full details of our programmes.

Almost 50 nationalities are represented at Tara Pattana International School and our school culture fosters a truly international perspective in which our similarities and differences are respected and celebrated. We believe that being educated in an internationally diverse community is a powerful tool for learning and development, encouraging our children and young people to develop a global mindset whilst remaining grounded in their own cultural identities.

Beyond our academic curriculum, Tara Pattana International School cultivates a school culture that builds on four core values:

KIND
Knowledge
Work hard to build knowledge
Integrity
Do the right thing when no-one is watching
Nurture
Nurture your dreams, aspirations and personal well-being 
and support others in nurturing theirs. 
Have respect for our environment.
Diversity:
Have respect for and celebrate our diverse school community
BE KIND
Take care of yourself and others.

Knowledge, Integrity, Nurture and Diversity. We believe these values are essential for success in all aspects of life and encourage all our school community to remain respectful in all their dealings with one another.

Our dedicated, highly-qualified and passionate teachers and staff foster a supportive environment where children and young people develop the confidence to overcome challenges, act with honesty and respect, develop a strong work ethic and treat others with empathy and compassion. Through our day-to-day classroom activities, as well as a broad range of Co-Curricular Activities and Extra-Curricular Activities, students are given the opportunity to explore their passions ranging from art, baton twirling, debate, drama, dance, sports and many, many more.

We expect the best of all our community while prioritising well-being, too, and recognise its importance for a healthy and fulfilling learning experience. We are committed to developing students holistically – not just academically – through our Learning for Life programme and our day-to-day practices including time dedicated to Well-Being Councils that promote emotional well-being and resilience, allowing children and young people to thrive inside and outside the classroom.
