About Greenacre

We are an inclusive school for children from early years onwards, based on Koh Samui, an island off the east coast of Thailand. Nestling in an area of beautiful greenery with waterfalls nearby we offer a sense of nurture and wellbeing to our children and families.

We encourage our children to develop a strong foundation of cultural understanding as well as supporting our students to be the best version of themselves, through their academic learning, co-curricular opportunities and love for the planet.

Our Curriculum is based on the English National Curriculum and meets the needs of our multilingual students. As a school with a clear focus on the natural world, we aim to ignite the spark of environmental awareness in our students.

We give our children the tools to not only become well educated academically today but empowered to make choices that expand into the community through conscious choices and behaviours.

We strongly support the values, traditions and culture of Thailand. We want our students to be respectful and sensitive to all aspects of life in the Kingdom, regardless of their different religious beliefs and backgrounds.

Developing the whole child is a very important part of our ethos and as such, we encourage personal goals explicitly through our school’s programs and curriculum. Our children’s personal progress is regularly celebrated, thereby supporting and reinforcing our school ethos of building both excellent learners and responsible members of society.
