About this school
Daniel International School (DIS) was started by a couple from Hong Kong, both professional educators, who first came to Thailand to teach Chinese in local schools. They set out to build a Surat Thani school of international standard rooted in Christian values. DIS opened in 2023, and its stated mission is to develop students who will impact the world with intelligence, integrity and love. Enrolment currently runs from Nursery to Grade 9.
The curriculum draws mainly on US Common Core standards, with standards also taken from the UK, Australia, New Zealand, China and Thailand. Teaching is inquiry-based and units are planned with Understanding by Design. As well as core subjects, students study the arts, PE and health, Mandarin, Thai language and culture, and spiritual and character education. Students learn in English, Chinese and Thai.
The 7.5-acre campus near the Tapi River has specialist rooms for science, fine arts and food and nutrition, built around a central library and research hub. Classrooms have smart displays, each student uses a laptop, and there is a football field. A host-family boarding programme is available for students from outside Surat Thani city.
