About us:

Panyathip British International School, is a well-established International School. Founded in the academic year 2001 - 2002, Panyathip British International School comprises of three (3) schools i.e. Early Years School, Primary International School and Secondary International School, catering for students from 1 to 18 years old. Panyathip was the first International School in Laos to be accredited by the Cambridge Curriculum. Additionally, it was the first school in Laos to offer the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC) and the Primary Curriculum (IPC). We offer a rich, quality education with affordable fees. The School caters for the children of expatriates working and living in Laos and for those Laotian children who want to attend an International School.

Panyathip British International Schools’ focus is on our students' well-being, through educational excellence and high standards. We create future leaders, who are equipped to become globally competent. Our community strives to enhance personal growth and moral values, as well as guiding students to achieve their full potential.

At PBIS, every student is encouraged to develop the skills they bring to school; academic, social, physical or cultural. Some achievements seem small for the school but are a major success for the individual and the school recognises this. The school develops a can-do attitude in all students, one that means they strive to achieve their personal best and to be proud of what they achieve.

We are a member of the prestigious Federation of British International Schools in Asia (FOBISIA) and in 2023 the school successfully completed COBIS Accreditation (Council of British International Schools).
