The International School Eastern Seaboard (ISE) was established in 1993 as an independent, international, English language, co-educational, college-preparatory day school, serving the expatriate and local communities of Chonburi Province, Thailand. ISE provides education from Pre-Kinder through Grade 12.
ISE serves families from different countries. Parents of ISE students come from many nations who work in the manufacturing industries located on the Eastern Seaboard Industrial Estate as well as the Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) areas of Thailand. ISE is located inside the beautiful Burapha Golf Club and Resort surrounded by mountains and trees. ISE facilities are fully equipped with a Fine Arts Center (FAC), sports facilities, as well as school divisions for Elementary School and Secondary School.
Pioneering International Education on Thailand’s Eastern Seaboard
ISE was the first international school in the Eastern Seaboard of Thailand, and it remains the only American school in the region. Accredited by both the International Baccalaureate (IB) and the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), ISE provides a world-class education for students aged 2 to 18. As an independent institution, we are dedicated to meeting each student’s unique needs and aspirations.
Personalized Learning in Small Class Sizes
At ISE, our commitment to individualized education is made possible through small class sizes and a student to teacher ratio of below 8:1. This environment allows us to focus on each student’s strengths and passions, providing personalized support in both academic subjects and English language learning where needed. Our foreign language program is the most comprehensive in the region, empowering students to become multilingual and culturally aware.
Learning Through Adventure and Exploration
Following an adaptable American curriculum, ISE encourages students to learn through exploration, cultivating curiosity and critical thinking. Our flexible, independent approach invites students to step beyond their comfort zones, paving the way for success in the IB Diploma program and beyond. This focus on adventurous learning helps students develop the resilience, adaptability, and global perspectives that will serve them well in an ever-changing world.
Building Foundations for Academic and Personal Achievement
While academic excellence is at the core of our mission, we also believe in supporting students’ achievements in sports, the arts, leadership, and community service. ISE graduates are not only prepared to attend top universities in the USA and around the world, they are also empowered in social responsibility, making meaningful contributions within their communities and in society at large. This means we have students not just of success, but also of value.
