Sawadee Ka!
Thank you for your interest in UWC Thailand International School. We realise that choosing a new school for your child is a very important (and often stressful) decision, so we are here to answer any questions that you may have along the way.
Our approach to education is inclusive, mindful, and forward-thinking. As a diverse international IB school, our community currently represents over 80 national identities, with no one dominant culture. We are the only three-programme IB school south of Bangkok. As a not-for-profit, mission-driven school, everything we do centres around uniting people, nations, and cultures for peace and a sustainable future.
To facilitate the admission of students from diverse socio-economic backgrounds, families must consider the following entry pathways:
Age 2 to Grade 10 Admissions
Our admissions process from age 2 to grade 10 is done online through our Open Apply platform.

Diploma Programme Admissions
Every year over 7,500 young students join the UWC movement to study the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) across one of the 18 schools.
Each UWC school is unique, shaped by its host country and community, yet all share a diverse student body with a commitment to education as a force for peace. To support families of all backgrounds, we offer three entry routes.
Grade 11 Day
Students
International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme students who reside in Phuket, or will reside in Phuket at time of enrolment, may apply directly to UWC Thailand as day students.
Global Selection Programme (GSP)
International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme students seeking to apply for and attend a UWC Boarding Programme and do not need financial assistance may apply through the Global Selection Programme.
UWC Scholarships (National Committee)
International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme students seeking to apply for a UWC placement with scholarship opportunities may apply through the National Committee in their country or region.
Celebrating Thai culture and embracing our diversity, UWC Thailand aims to ensure that students not only get a world-class international education, but also an experience that is deliberately enriched by our stunning home in the ‘Land of Smiles’. Aligned with our commitment to a “Good Heart, Balanced Mind, Healthy Body”, we embed Social Emotional Learning and Mindfulness—under the guidance of the school’s Director of Mindfulness—across all grade levels. We encourage all families who share our values to come and visit us in Phuket, in order to meet our community and experience our learning environment first-hand.
We look forward to meeting you soon.
