The New International School of Thailand (NIST) is an international school located in

downtown Bangkok , Thailand. It attracts families affiliated with embassies, non-

governmental organizations and multinational corporations.

History

NIST opened to students in August 1992, when the former school located at the campus(The International School of Bangkok ) moved to the outskirts of Bangkok. It was

established by a group of individuals who felt that there was a need for a school having atruly internationally focused curriculum in Bangkok that is not tied to a specific national

system.

The school is run by a non-profit organization, the Foundation for International Education

(FIE). The FIE chooses a board of directors, who are elected from the body of parents. Theprimary task of the board of directors is to select the Head of School. The current Head of

School is Simon Leslie.

About the school

The school is divided into two sections, the Elementary school (Kindergarten-Year 6) andthe Secondary school (Year 7 Year 13).

NIST has a student government, covering two separate programs. The first program is

based on the house system. Six representatives from each year level (one from each

homeroom) in years 711, and two from each homeroom in years 12 and 13 participate.

NIST is associated with, and has just been re-accredited by the Council of International

Schools.

Campus

The NIST campus is located in downtown Bangkok close to Sukhumvit Road, one of

Bangkok's main commercial streets.

The campus has several of the original four story buildings.

Curriculum

NIST has two schools on the same campus: the elementary school and the secondary

school. NIST is an IB World School that runs all three academic programs of the

International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO). These are: the Primary Years Program

(PYP) for students aged 311, the Middle Years Program (MYP) ages 1116 and the IB

Diploma Program (IBDP) ages 1618. All classes, except languages, are taught in English.



As part of the curriculum, NIST students learn a language other than English (LOTE). The

choices include Korean, Spanish, Mandarin, Japanese,French, German, Dutch, Finnish,Swedish, Thai and Hindi.

Nist also has 3 camps in Elementary School- Year 4 1 night camp to Khao Yai, Year 5 1 night

barge trip and a Year 6 3 night Camp to Kanchanaburi.

Sports teams

NIST athletic teams compete in the Bangkok International Schools Athletic Conference

(BISAC) and the Southeast Asian Schools Athletic Conference (SEASAC). NIST excels in

basketball, volleyball, soccer and softball at the varsity level, frequently finishing first in

local and international tournaments, both for girls and boys. NIST also has varsity teams fortennis, badminton, swimming, softball and rugby. NIST teams are called "The Falcons" after

the school's sport mascot. They play in blue and silver/grey/white. NIST's main sporting

rival is Bangkok Patana School. Because of NIST's indoor gymnasium facilities and its

outdoor swimming pool, NIST frequently hosts local and international volleyball,basketball, badminton and swimming competitions. The New International School of Thailand did not get a rank lower than 4 in the three seasons of BISAC of 2008, and in the

2009-10 season, NIST teams performed admirably during Season 1. NIST achieved a

double-gold (both Boys and Girls) in SEASAC Volleyball in their own gymnasium, alongside

medal finishes in SEASAC Soccer. NIST also won gold in individual and team events in

SEASAC Golf in only their second year.
