Tara Pattana International School of

Pattaya

Tara Pattana International School has a real mix of international students that creates a spirit based on diversity, respect and understanding. We are at the centre of the international community we serve and take great pride in ensuring that interaction with the school is a happy and fulfilling experience for the whole family. Our school’s mission is “High expectations of learning that inspire students to reach their full potential in a caring international community”. We provide a rigorous education with a global perspective for students of Early Years, Primary and Secondary age that draws its strength from the National Curriculum for England, and adapts to blend with the values of Thai culture. We understand that students learn best when they are happy and settled at school. Students can start in Nursery aged 18 months and stay until they are 18. Our ethos is underpinned by our learner profile and a culture of teaching in which the cornerstone to learning is knowledge based on the “Learning Rainforest” approach (Tom Sherrington): Core learning builds very secure knowledge that goes deeper rather than wider. Learning activities build on prior knowledge, allowing students to explore and connect ideas, broaden their experiences and extend their capabilities. Knowledge needs to be questioned and debated.
