Phuket International Academy (PIA)

PIA has 320 day and boarding students from 40 nationalities and is currently Thailand’s only international school south of Bangkok fully authorised to offer all three International Baccalaureate (IB) programmes.

PIA is founded on the fundamental principle of providing a caring, supportive and joyful environment for all members of its community so that everyone grows as individuals. This is seen as both a personal and a collective responsibility.

The concept of developing the whole person is deeply embedded into PIA’s motto: “Good Heart, Balanced Mind, Healthy Body.” To achieve this aim, the school offers a holistic educational programme that encompasses academics, social and emotional learning and mindfulness, service, outdoor education and activities.

Students learn how to learn, analyse, think creatively and reach thoughtful conclusions, making it a demanding programme that encourages students to their highest levels of academic achievement.

PIA is due to join the United World College (UWC) movement in August 2016 and will then be part of an international network of schools and colleges in 15 countries, with more than 55,000 alumni and other members in virtually every country in the world.
