MORE ABOUT TSIS JUNIOR SCHOOL:
TSIS (Thai Sikh International School) has been educating students since 1985. The school has been managed by International Schools Services (www.iss.edu) since August 2017. During the past 33 years, the school has developed two exceptional campuses with facilities which compare to some of the finest schools in Thailand and abroad to educate students aged 3 to 18 years.

TSIS Junior School is centrally located in Wongwian Yai district of Bangkok. The school opened in January 2005 and is equipped with academic, sporting and other extracurricular facilities which outshine many other international schools in the area. In addition to spacious classrooms, facilities incorporated in the design of the four-story building include an assembly hall, air-conditioned gymnasium, libraries and dining hall. We have a child-friendly grassed playground and swimming pools.

The Junior School provides the first three Key Stages of the UK National Curriculum for children in Nursery – Year 5 classes. While some people may have previously considered TSIS is a school for only Sikh or Indian children, when handing over management of the school to ISS, the school board emphasised that they would like to see their school’s exceptional facilities shared with others. With many new enrolments, TSIS is already becoming a true international school as we welcome students of all nationalities, races and religions.
