Primary Principal

Education in Paradise!

At the British International School, Phuket, we are dedicated to providing the highest standards of teaching and learning to a vibrant international community, with a focus on wellbeing and passion. Our lush, well-equipped campus offers a peaceful environment that supports both personal and academic growth.

Our staff retention is excellent, with an annual turnover of around 10%, with many teachers choosing to stay with us for over seven years. While our tropical location may be the ideal lifestyle, it is our supportive and professional community that encourages staff to remain long-term. Many of our teachers also have children enrolled in the school, and we take pride in the balanced and diverse makeup of our team—both in terms of gender and experience. Our teachers, whether just starting their careers or highly experienced, contribute to the vibrant educational environment we foster.

With extensive facilities and a strong emphasis on healthy living and caring for one another, we offer a unique opportunity to work in an inspiring setting. We are looking for teachers who will not only contribute positively to our community but also embrace our ethos of learning, wellbeing, and passion.

MISSION 

Inspire learning; nurture wellbeing; ignite passion.

VISION

Maximise student potential by delivering the highest standards of teaching and learning to an international community emphasising wellbeing and passion, on a green, well equipped campus.

PHILOSOPHY 

Our educational philosophy is founded on the Triple Helix model, where learning, wellbeing, and passion are interdependent and essential for a balanced and fulfilling life.

Learning at BISP is holistic, engaging the social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development of each child. We believe learning happens everywhere, not just within classroom walls or through traditional subjects. Our approach aims to foster a lifelong love of learning through active participation and exploration.

Wellbeing is central to our community, helping students find meaning, identity, and purpose, leading to personal growth and fulfillment. Passion is what drives and motivates individuals. At BISP, we encourage students to pursue their passions with enthusiasm and to appreciate the journey as much as the achievement.

Join us in creating an educational experience that inspires, nurtures, and ignites the passions of our students and staff alike.
