Surat Thani International School Information

Surat Thani International School is Surat Thani’s first international school! We strive to be the very best school for teachers and students! At STIS, we teach an American-based curriculum to the fun-loving children of Surat Thani. Teachers spend a large portion of each school day with one small class of young learners. You are able to create real relationships with your kids. The students are well behaved, intelligent, and eager to learn! We provide plenty of resources, top quality textbooks and supplemental materials, friendly Thai teaching assistants, a modern and air-conditioned learning environment, teacher empowerment, a teamwork mentality, and a focus on collaboration and creativity! STIS teachers are a group of passionate people dedicated to teaching our students. We work hard because we love to teach and believe in what we are doing. Our teachers are given freedom and individual responsibility in how they want to structure class time and implement curriculum. The working environment is friendly, supportive, and relaxed. We give our teachers the time and space they need to develop their class while offering support any time they want or need it. There is at least one Thai teaching assistant in every class. Surat Thani means “the city of good people” and is a medium size Thai city with a small town feel. In Surat, you can enjoy a true Thai cultural experience while having easy access to western conveniences. The people are peaceful, welcoming, and friendly. The smiles are real. Surat Thani is known as the hub of the South and is ideally located for easy weekend trips to any of the famous Thai islands and beaches.
