St. Stephens International School - Khao Yai

Welcome to St. Stephen’s International School, where the aim is to provide a truly international education whilst maintaining the values and customs that are so important to our Thai community; East certainly does meet West at St. Stephen’s in the best possible way. At both campuses, our well qualified teachers, ably supported by teaching assistants and administration staff, provide a high quality education where rigour, challenge and opportunity are constants both in the classroom and in the host of extra-curricular activities on offer.

Our curriculum supports the aim of developing students’ personal qualities that will stand them in good stead in today’s ever changing world. The aim is to produce young people who are concerned and constructive members of society and who have the qualifications, skills and attributes to, not only be successful themselves, but also make a difference in the lives of others. Our campus communities are happy and caring. Whether in urban Bangkok or in the beautiful environment of Khao Yai, staff, students and parents all contribute to the special family atmosphere which is apparent to, even, the casual visitor.

St. Stephen's believes in taking the best practices of Western International Education, whilst harnessing the national characteristics of Thai culture and promoting the values so important in Thai society. Internationalism will encompass: Thai-ness within a global society, the rights and responsibilities of a global citizen, empathy and service to others, conflict resolution, and sustainable development in our increasingly interconnected world.

At St. Stephen’s, we believe in educating students, not simply to be survivors in a competitive world, but to become good leaders of their communities. Students will be equipped with wide-ranging knowledge and skills, with the ability to apply these as they keep abreast of ever-changing technological advancements.

Life experience skills will be cultivated in students so that they understand themselves and society, maintain good health, ever enrich their wisdom, are self-reliant, honourable and disciplined, as well as being honest young citizens of the future. They will develop a sense of pride in their nationality and be respectful of all others. Fundamentally, they will be capable of critical thinking and possess highly effective communication skills.

We accomplish this by offering students of all nationalities, from Early Years up to University Entrance Level, a broad balanced and challenging curriculum through the use of the English language. We encourage all students to strive for excellence in all that they do, both in their academic studies and personal lives, and we guide them on their journey to becoming effective and compassionate citizens and leaders. At St. Stephen’s, we develop a culture and a community of learners within a special East meets West educational environment.
