The International School Bangkok (ISB) is a private PK-12 American-style school in the Pak Kret District of Nonthaburi Province, Thailand in the Bangkok Metropolitan Area.[2] It is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) in the United States.

History

Foundation

ISB first opened as the International Children’s Center on the grounds of the U.S. Embassy Bangkok in 1951.[3] It was the first international school to open in Thailand and serviced U.S. Embassy families and other expatriates in Bangkok at the time.

Vision

Enriching communities through the intellectual, humanitarian, and creative thoughts and actions of learners.

Mission

Through outstanding teaching and learning in a nurturing environment, ISB inspires students to achieve their academic and personal potential; be passionate, reflective learners; become caring global citizens, and lead healthy, active, balanced lifestyles.

Early Years

The school was first located on the grounds of the U.S. Embassy but soon needed to expand in order to provide both primary and secondary education for the growing population of expatriate children in Bangkok. In 1960, ISB moved from the U.S. Embassy grounds to a large campus on Sukhumvit Soi 15. Seven years later, at the peak of the Vietnam War, when enrollment boomed to over 3500 students, a second campus was opened in Bangsue for a number of years to accommodate the expansion.

In the 1980s, the ISB Board of Trustees had a vision for a school that would be unrivaled in the region. In January 1992, ISB moved to its present location in Nichada Thani, a US$25-million campus with some of the best facilities in the region.
