About this school
NIST International School is a not-for-profit school in central Bangkok, founded through the efforts of United Nations families and still closely tied to the diplomatic community. It opened on 13 August 1992 with 502 students and became Thailand's first full IB World School; by 1999 it offered all three IB programmes.
Today more than 1,800 students aged 3 to 18 attend, drawn from over 75 countries, and the school has more than 500 staff. The Elementary School follows the IB Primary Years Programme, and the Secondary School the Middle Years Programme and Diploma Programme, alongside the Global Citizen Diploma and the International Award. The school reports an average IB Diploma score of 37, and many students graduate with a bilingual diploma, with 12 home languages offered during the school day.
The 25-rai campus on Sukhumvit Soi 15, close to Asok BTS and Sukhumvit MRT, has ten buildings and over 90 classrooms, including an Early Years Centre, a sports complex, the Innovation Building and newer Pavilion and Elementary buildings. NIST is accredited by CIS, NEASC and ONESQA and belongs to EARCOS and ISAT. Student life includes over 300 activities a year and an expeditions programme.
