St. Andrews International School Green Valley
School Profile 2021 - 2022
Overview St. Andrews International School, Green Valley is a small International school on the outskirts of Pattaya and Rayong in Thailand. The school campus is home to 415 students from over 30 nationalities and 80 teachers from 14 different nationalities. It is a truly diverse and multicultural community. Our programmes are based on the English National Curriculum within the framework of the International Baccalaureate, working to meet the needs of the whole child in order for them to realise their full potential in academic, social, emotional, cultural and physical development. This is achieved through a balanced curriculum that encompasses both traditional values and modern technology. We actively encourage an emphasis on the individual, which is supported by an ethos which is caring, respectful and tolerant of differences in abilities, needs, cultures and religions. Given that the school is non-selective, it enjoys excellent examination results. Students benefit from the individual attention offered by a small school, together with the academic and cultural opportunities and outstanding facilities of a far larger one. Our IGCSE results far exceed the UK National average and the average scores of other international schools in the region. In the IB Diploma Programme, our average score for the past four years is 34.8 points, which is nearly four points higher than the world average of 31 points.
