About the School

Located in the city of Hatyai in southern Thailand, Bloomsbury International School Hatyai is a co-educational international independent school.  The school offers both day and boarding facilities. Bloomsbury is focused on providing an English-style education for its students and as a result follows the English National Curriculum in Primary and the Cambridge International Curriculum in Secondary. Key Stage 4  students sit IGCSE examinations. When they progress into Key Stage 5, students study AS then A-level qualifications. All students study Thai language and culture, as is appropriate for the school’s setting. As the majority of our students are Thai speakers, the acquisition of English is paramount to progress across all subjects, therefore this role is a vital one for the continued success of the school  and our learners.

Location

Hatyai is located in southern Thailand close to the border with Malaysia; it is only 40 a minute drive to the nearest beach in Songkhla Town.  The city is a regional hub for tourism  and a gateway to many of southern Thailand's other destinations.  With easy internal links to Krabi, Phuket, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Koh Samui, and Koh Lipe as well as 16 flights per day to Bangkok it is easy to spend your weekends or holidays exploring Thailand.  Internationally, there are daily flights to Singapore and Kuala Lumpur both of which are only a short distance away, providing easy links to much of Asia.

Hatyai is an up and coming city without the high cost of living found in other more frequented destinations in Thailand.  Hatyai does not have the thriving nightlife scene of Bangkok but there are bars,  music venues and restaurants  serving a range of Western, Asian and local food. As a professional in Thailand you are respected by the whole community and you can fully expect this in Hatyai which has a very 'Thai' feel with a  local population who are friendly and helpful, welcoming people with the famous 'Thai Smile'.
