ABOUT SISB SUVARNABHUMI<br />

SCHOOL STORY<br />

Founded in 2001, SISB currently has 5 <strong>campus</strong>es in<br />

Thailand which adopt the Singapore and UK curricula<br />

as the foundation for teaching and learning. The SISB<br />

name is inspired by our first <strong>campus</strong>, the Singapore<br />

International School of Bangkok (2001), the first<br />

Singapore International School that was established<br />

in Thailand which pioneered the Singapore education<br />

curriculum.<br />

SISB provides a standardized curriculum underscored by<br />

the twin principles of the Singapore education system<br />

and consistently delivers high quality education that<br />

many have come to trust of SISB. Through a broadbased<br />

and unique tri-lingual curriculum, SSB offers a<br />

safe and nurturing learning environment and provides<br />

opportunities and challenges to foster students as<br />

lifelong learners and future leaders.<br />

With more than 1,500 students of over 20 nationalities,<br />

and strong teaching and support hailing from over 20<br />

countries, the SISB community is inspired by a global<br />

outlook and enriched by cultural diversity.<br />

SISB upholds the reputation of the globally renowned,<br />

excellent education system of Singapore and holds the<br />

duty to contribute positively to the development of<br />

education in Thailand.<br />

With the rapid growth of its student population, SISB<br />

identified the need to expand its <strong>campus</strong> facilities. On<br />

7 June 2002, Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri<br />

Sirindhorn presided over the Grand Opening of SISB<br />

Pracha Uthit <strong>campus</strong>, a new <strong>campus</strong> spanning 17,000<br />

square metres in Pracha Uthit. The <strong>campus</strong> features wellequipped<br />

classrooms, a library, science and computer<br />

laboratories, a multi-purpose hall, basketball court,<br />

swimming pool, playgrounds and offers full-fledged<br />

curricula for students from age 2 to 18.<br />

In June 2013, SISB <strong>Suvarnabhumi</strong> <strong>campus</strong> was launched.<br />

Since then, SISB <strong>Suvarnabhumi</strong> was helmed by Mr Fabio<br />

Corvaglia and later Ms Christine Ahrens as principals of<br />

the school. Currently, the Head of School, Mrs Jenny Yeo,<br />

is leading the school team to work towards creating a<br />

vibrant learning community, that empowers students<br />

to achieve academic excellence as well as be holistically<br />

developed.<br />

Together with the competent and passionate team of<br />

teachers and staff, the school is focused on working<br />

collaboratively with parents and the community to<br />

help students realize their potential and be nurtured to<br />

become future leaders.
