SOCIAL EMOTIONAL LEARNING AND MINDFULNESS Our strong commitment to Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and Mindfulness at PIADS establishes a positive school culture by improving both intrapersonal awareness and interpersonal sensitivity. PIADS is affiliated with the world's leading figures in SEL/M, and is an internationally recognized ‘lighthouse” school in this important area. Our developmentally appropriate resources are built on the latest in cognitive neuroscience, social and emotional skill development, mindful awareness practices, and research on positive emotions, all of which help further to bring the school mission to life. The school, which is liberal in nature and progressive in outlook, provides a wide school curriculum by combining academics, the arts and sports. Its ability to be able to do this is considerably enhanced by its being a not for profit affiliate of the internationally renowned Thanyapura organization, which allows the students to benefit from the use of some of the finest sporting facilities in South East Asia, including Olympic-standard swimming facilities and tennis courts and an IRB-standard rugby football field.
PERFORMING ARTS PIADS is also home to the Phuket Academy of Performing Arts (PAPA), which provides PIADS students with exceptional facilities both for curricular and enrichment activities in the performing arts. Students are encouraged to take advantage of singing, dancing and music lessons and to become a part of our school drama production, or even to form a rock band with their fellow students. Private lessons are available to learn a wide range of musical instruments.
ELITE JUNIOR SPORT ACADEMIES From August 2014, in addition to providing a world-class education to students from all over the world, the school will benefit from Thanyapura’s offering a select number of places to junior athletes aspiring to sporting excellence, at its new Elite Junior Sport Academies, specializing in Swimming, Tennis and Triathlon.
