Regents International School Pattaya opened its doors in 1994, welcoming 40 students. Within just five years, it burgeoned into a thriving day and boarding school, boasting an international student community of over 400.
In 2000, the school joined the Federation of British International Schools in Asia (FOBISIA), a prestigious consortium driving British educational excellence throughout the region. Soon after, it became a proud member of Round Square, an esteemed network of international schools renowned for their world-class leadership, service, and experiential programs.
In 2012, Regents International School Pattaya became part of the global Nord Anglia Education family. This partnership ushered in a new era of educational advancement, with teachers benefiting from award-winning training programs and cutting-edge technology. Moreover, students’ learning experiences were enriched through exclusive collaborations with renowned institutions such as The Juilliard School, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and UNICEF. Today, the school is home to nearly 1100 students, including over 50 boarders, representing a dynamic and diverse international community spanning more than 50 countries worldwide.

Students at Regents excel as they shape their own academic journey to success, guided by a team of world-class teachers.
Recognizing the diverse talents, passions, and goals of each student, the school offers an extensive breadth of subject choices, unparalleled experiential learning experiences, and the flexibility to pursue either A-levels or the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) at the age of 16. Wellbeing is integral to the school’s ethos, with a focus on developing resilience, nurturing happiness, and instilling a lifelong love of learning. This personalized, holistic education equips students for success, including admission to top 100 universities worldwide.
At Regents, learning extends beyond the classroom through a variety of experiential activities, enabling students to become performers, leaders and adventurers. Whether it’s taking the stage in the Globe theatre, advocating for change on the Eco Committee, or representing the school’s sporting Lions teams, students shape their own adventures and personal journeys to success. Throughout their endeavors, the school ensures students are safe, supported, and happy.
Regents International School Pattaya stands as one of the premier boarding schools on the Eastern Seaboard of Thailand, offering a range of options tailored to individual student and family needs. Boarding is offered both part-time from Monday to Friday; and full-time boarding during term time with holidays spent at home. Taster sessions provide an opportunity for students to experience boarding life firsthand.
With a relatively small boarding community, Regents fosters a true sense of “Home away from Home.” Weekend trips and on-campus activities during school days unite students, creating a vibrant and supportive environment for growth and development.
Nurturing Sustainability
Regents International School Pattaya takes pride in its active commitment to The Alliance for Sustainable Schools. The school’s focus on sustainability and eco-initiatives serves as a cornerstone of community connection and a pathway toward broader aspirations for the school and the surrounding community.
Recognizing the interconnectedness of sustainability and citizenship education, these principles are interwoven into the fabric of the curriculum, school operations, and experiential learning programs within the framework of Round Square.
The school’s comprehensive curriculum is designed to purposefully integrate the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) throughout all levels of education. Students are engaged in lessons that deepen their understanding of SDGs and their impact on the school, local community, and the global environment. Primary Eco-Leaders and Secondary Student Guild Leaders drive meaningful change within their respective domains, enhancing the school community and elevating the importance of actionable sustainability initiatives.
Regents International School Pattaya is dedicated to embedding the school’s sustainability vision throughout its operations. This commitment is evident in initiatives such as MIT-inspired STEAM projects, which encourage students to explore sustainable technologies, and in operational practices that prioritize locally sourced foods and recycling of suitable food waste through partnerships with local farms.
The school and its community collaborate closely to ensure that the vision of TASS permeates every aspect of school life, fostering a sustainable future for all stakeholders.
Celebrating Student Initiatives
The International School Awards, an annual competition and event organized by ISC Research, aims to showcase inspiring and impactful initiatives developed by students, school leaders, and educators in the international education sector.
This year, a remarkable 245 applications were submitted to the International School Awards 2024. Regents International School Pattaya’s student-led initiative, the ‘Culture Club’, spearheaded by Sixth Form students Angela, Suhani, Sreya, and Sameera, has been recognized for its dedication to raising awareness of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) within the school and the broader community.
The ‘Culture Club’ at Regents International School Pattaya empowers students to assume leadership roles in areas that hold significance for themselves, their peers, and the wider community. This initiative reflects the school’s commitment to fostering student agency and promoting positive social change.
Additionally, the school is proud to announce that the initiative ‘Mission Possible’, led by Year 10 students Yubin, Yoonwoo, Eunsong, Ariana, Yanue, and Veronica, has received the Nord Anglia Education Social Impact Grant of 10,000 USD.
‘Mission Possible’ was conceived by the Year 10 Student Community Partner Representatives with the goal of making a sustainable difference to the nonprofit organization ‘Women with a Mission’. This organization provides education to stateless orphan children on the Thailand-Myanmar border. Currently, due to COVID-19 and financial constraints, the children in this educational facility lack basic amenities and often sleep on the hard floors with no other alternatives.
The ‘Mission Possible’ project aims to physically transform the space by providing new bedding and other necessary renovations, ensuring that the students have a safe and comfortable learning environment conducive to growth and development. Through these initiatives, Regents International School Pattaya demonstrates its commitment to social responsibility and making a positive impact on the wider community.
