KIS International School expands: Brand new campus, golf centre & family inspiration centre
As the school celebrates its silver anniversary, it continues to look forward with purpose and innovation
What began 25 years ago as a small nursery in a Bangkok home has grown into one of Southeast Asia’s leading international schools. KIS International School was founded on a powerful vision: to inspire individuals and empower them to make a difference in the world. As KIS celebrates its silver anniversary, it continues to look forward with purpose and innovation.
A 60-acre vision of the future: KIS Reignwood Park
In August of last year, KIS opened its second campus: KIS Reignwood Park. This 60-acre, purpose-built boarding and day school represents a new era for international education in Thailand.
Every detail of KIS Reignwood Park was designed to offer a world-class learning experience. The campus features university-level science and design labs, performing arts studios, a professional-standard sports complex, green outdoor learning environments, and modern boarding houses that feel like home. Students learn in light-filled, flexible classrooms, surrounded by nature and equipped for the future.
This flagship campus is not only one of the most advanced in the region. It is also a welcoming community for students from around the world, as Barry Sutherland, Head of School at KIS Reignwood Park, stated.
“KIS Reignwood Park was designed to be one of the most advanced learning environments in the region, but it’s not just about scale. We’ve created a space where students can explore big ideas, build meaningful relationships, and grow into confident, compassionate individuals.”
KIS Reignwood Park hosted football legends for ICON Series
KIS Reignwood Park was chosen as the host venue for the official press conference and football clinic of the ICON Series, a global sporting event that brings together legendary athletes for high-profile charity golf competitions.
Football icons, including Luis Figo, John Terry, Paul Scholes, Gianfranco Zola, Theo Walcott, and Carlos Tevez, visited KIS Reignwood Park, where they met students, ran training drills, and shared stories of leadership and resilience.
The experience left a lasting impression on the KIS community, blending inspiration, athleticism, and global recognition. The press conference and clinic were broadcast to a global audience through Sky Sports in the UK, TrueVisions and Channel 7HD in Thailand, and streamed live on the ICON Series YouTube channel, reaching tens of thousands of viewers online.
The experience underscored Reignwood Park’s growing reputation not only as a world-class boarding and IB school but also as a venue capable of hosting international events at the highest level.
KISpire: A family inspiration centre for learning differences
KIS believes that education should be inclusive, holistic, and deeply human. That belief is at the heart of KISpire, the new Family Inspiration Centre located at KIS Bangkok. KISpire supports children with learning differences and their families by offering a comprehensive suite of services tailored to each child’s needs.
KISpire provides access to professional assessments, occupational therapy, speech therapy, physiotherapy, and counselling. Families are paired with a dedicated mentor who helps guide their journey, coordinating support between health professionals, teachers, and school administrators.
This personalised, family-centred approach helps reduce the stress of managing support systems and allows families to focus on progress. This is something that Carolyn Mason Parker, Head of School at KIS Bangkok, emphasises.
“We believe every child can grow and thrive, one step at a time. KISpire is here to support not just the learner, but the whole family. We walk alongside them, helping make complex systems feel manageable and helping children feel seen, understood, and inspired.”
KISpire is open to both KIS and external families and reflects the school’s commitment to making student support in Bangkok more accessible, coordinated, and compassionate.
KIS Golf Centre: Developing passion with purpose
KIS International School also supports student-athletes with a passion for golf through the launch of the KIS Golf Centre. This dedicated training facility is equipped with high-performance technology (Trackman simulators) and flexible programming that allows students to balance their academics with serious golf development.
KIS golfers are already competing in national tournaments and achieving impressive results. But the Golf Centre is not only about competition, it’s about discipline, focus, and the development of character. KIS Golf Centre is located 5 minutes away from KIS International School Bangkok
Built on values, driven by excellence
KIS is proud to be an International Baccalaureate (IB) World School offering all four IB programmes from Early Years to Grade 12. The school’s core values: Striving for Understanding, Nurturing Passion, Taking Action Ethically, and Creating a Caring and Inclusive Community, are embedded in every aspect of school life.
These values are not slogans; they guide every interaction, every classroom experience, and every strategic decision, as stated by Parich Ruktapongpisal, Licensee and Manager of both KIS Bangkok and KIS Reignwood Park.
“Our story isn’t just about growth. It’s about intention. Everything we do, whether opening a new campus, launching a learning initiative, or building a golf training centre, comes back to one question: how does this help our students become the best versions of themselves?”
Academic results that reflect real learning
In 2024, KIS students achieved an IB Diploma average of 35 points, significantly above the global average of 30. Graduates received over 700 university offers from institutions such as the University of Toronto, the University of Manchester, and the National University of Singapore.
These outcomes are the result of passionate educators, inquiry-based learning, and individualised support that allows every student to thrive.
Looking Ahead: Inspiring the next generation
KIS remains dedicated to providing high-quality international education in Bangkok. Whether through world-class facilities, meaningful family partnerships, or holistic student support, KIS continues to inspire individuals and empower communities.
KIS International School may have started small, but its vision has always been big, and its future is just beginning.
