NIST International School was honoured to host Her Excellency Koike Yuriko, Governor of Tokyo, along with delegates from the Board of Education. The visit underscored NIST’s reputation as the leading international school in Thailand, widely recognised for its innovative and comprehensive approach to education.
The visit kicked off with a presentation by NIST’s Head of Secondary, Angelo Coskinas, who outlined the school’s unique learning programme, featuring the core elements of the NIST experience: Academics, Expeditions, Activities, Service, and Wellbeing.
