QSI International School of Phuket

QSI International School of Phuket is located in Kathu, a central district of Phuket, Thailand. The school sits just off the Bypass Road, providing easy access to nearby neighborhoods like Patong, Chalong, and Phuket Town. It is close to shopping centres such as Lotus’s and Big C. The area is generally quieter and residential, making it a practical location for families.

The school accepts students aged 3 to 18 years, and is divided into Preschool, Elementary, Middle School, and Secondary levels. Children are placed in multi-age classrooms based on ability, following a mastery-based learning approach.

QSI Phuket is a co-educational day school. It does not offer any form of boarding, so all students commute daily.

The school has a learning support center but there isn't enough information available about additional learning support provided by the school.

QSI Phuket follows an american based international curriculm, but it is not affiliated with a country. Although, it is part of the QSI (Quality Schools International) network, which operates in multiple countries worldwide.

There is no information available about the school's day structure.

QSI International School of Phuket follows a U.S.-style Mastery Learning curriculum that emphasizes individual student progress through clearly defined learning outcomes. The curriculum is divided into core subjects including English, Mathematics, Science, Cultural Studies, Foreign Languages, Technology, Fine Arts, and Personal Health. Instruction begins in Preschool and continues through Secondary IV (Grade 12), with progressively advanced coursework.

In the Secondary years, students can pursue one of three diplomas: the General Diploma, the Academic Diploma, or the Academic Diploma with Honors—the latter requiring completion of at least two AP or IB Certificate courses. The school offers on-site Advanced Placement (AP) courses such as AP Calculus, AP Human Geography, and AP Music Theory, with additional AP options available online via Quality Virtual School. Foreign languages include Thai, and elective subjects vary by level.

QSI Phuket incorporates SEL through its emphasis on character development using the Seven Success Orientations: Trustworthiness, Responsibility, Aesthetic Appreciation, Concern for Others, Kindness and Politeness, Independent Endeavor, and Group Interaction. These are embedded into classroom instruction and school culture across all levels. Teachers integrate discussions and reflections based on these values.
There is no mention of a dedicated SEL coordinator or counselor, nor of standalone SEL curriculum programs.

QSI Phuket offers limited support for students with mild to moderate learning difficulties. The school is not a specialist SEN institution but has a Learning Support Center that provides individualized academic assistance, particularly in reading and numeracy. Students are admitted on a case-by-case basis depending on whether the school can meet their needs. There is no reference to support for high-needs SEN or dedicated SEN-certified staff beyond general learning support.

QSI Phuket provides a formal Intensive English (IE) program for non-native English speakers, particularly from ages 6 to 13. This includes pull-out and push-in support by specialist IE teachers, with a focus on helping students access grade-level content while developing language skills. Placement in the program is determined through an internal assessment. Support tapers off in secondary years unless additional help is arranged.

The school does not publicly disclose information regarding mental wellbeing support.

QSI Phuket follows a structured Child Protection Policy aligned with the QSI organization's global standards. The school designates a Child Protection Team that includes a School Director (Head of School) and a Child Protection Coordinator, responsible for overseeing compliance and reporting concerns. Staff are trained to identify and respond to signs of abuse, and the school mandates regular safeguarding training and policy reviews. All visitors must check in at the front office, and staff must undergo background checks prior to employment. The policy outlines clear reporting procedures, confidentiality expectations, and student education on personal safety topics.

1. Submit the application form and supporting documents. Parents must complete an official application form and provide previous school records, health information, a copy of the student’s passport, and a digital photo. A non-refundable application fee must also be paid.

2. Participate in an assessment and/or interview. Students may be asked to complete an academic assessment, especially for English proficiency, and meet with a school administrator. Younger children may be observed in an informal setting.

3. Wait for the admissions decision. The school reviews applications based on available space, language support needs, and whether it can meet the student's educational requirements. Decisions are communicated directly to families.

4. Confirm enrollment and pay fees. Once accepted, families must confirm enrollment and submit the required tuition and registration fees to reserve a seat. The school will provide further orientation details upon confirmation.

While QSI Phuket does not list scholarships in its formal admissions documents, the school has promoted academic scholarships via its social media platforms. For the 2024–2025 academic year, QSI Phuket announced limited scholarships aimed at Thai passport holders aged 10 to 13, with selection based on academic excellence and demonstrated financial need. Award amounts are determined according to each family's financial situation. Notably, applicants were not required to be fluent in English. This initiative was communicated through the school’s official Instagram account, suggesting that scholarship opportunities may occasionally be shared on social media rather than formal publications.

The school does not operate a waitlist system.
