About this school
The Canadian International School of Thailand (CIST) opened in September 2017 with its first Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten and Grade 7 classes. It grew out of Thewphaingarm School, which Mr Narong and Mrs Usa Thewphaingarm founded in 1976. The school now has about 350 students from Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 12 on a riverside campus in Bang Phlat, on the Thonburi side of Bangkok.
CIST is an IB World School that combines the Ontario Curriculum with International Baccalaureate programmes:
- Early Years (ages 2–5) and Primary (6–11): IB Primary Years Programme
- Grades 6–10: IB Middle Years Programme
- Grades 11–12: Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD)
Students can learn French, Mandarin and Thai, and there are a Mandarin-immersion programme and an intensive English (EAL) programme. The school also runs study trips abroad and extracurricular activities. The campus has a redesigned playground, a café for families and students, and a cafeteria. Boarding is available, including a recently opened boys' residence, and the school offers student visa support for families new to Thailand.
