As the only internationally accredited school in Suratthani town, STIS offers families more than just an education—we offer a trusted pathway to the world.

THE TRIPLE CROWN OF EXCELLENCE
ACCREDITATION
Cognia Accredited
Cognia Accredited

WHY THE DIFFERENCE MATTERS
Think of Cognia as the foundation of a house—it ensures the structure is safe, professionally managed, and built to last. Think of the IB PYP as the life inside that house—the inquiry‑based learning, global mindedness, and skills development that prepare students for the future.
TOTAL QUALITY ASSURANCE (COGNIA)
As a fully accredited Cognia institution, STIS has undergone a rigorous external review. This accreditation is our “seal of quality,” proving that every aspect of our school—from transparency in leadership to student support services—operates at an international gold standard.
INQUIRY‑DRIVEN LEARNING (IB PYP CANDIDATE)
As an IB PYP Candidate School, we are implementing a curriculum designed to inspire. We don’t just teach students to memorise facts; we teach them to ask “Why?” and “How?”. The PYP nurtures both hard skills—such as literacy, numeracy, and problem‑solving—and soft skills like communication, empathy, and adaptability. Together, these prepare students to thrive as lifelong learners in a rapidly changing world.
