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.
