Education in Phuket: What to Expect

Phuket has a mix of public, private, and international schools. Local Thai schools follow the national curriculum (taught in Thai), but most expat families choose international or bilingual schools. These offer British, American, French, Finnish, or Montessori-style education, usually in English or a mix of languages.

Most international schools run from preschool all the way through high school, with globally recognized diplomas like IGCSE, IB, or AP. Campuses tend to be modern, with smaller classes, creative programs, and a strong focus on well-being, plus the bonus of being surrounded by nature and eternal summer. Whether you’re here short-term or settling in long-term, Phuket’s school scene has plenty to offer.
