Philosophy
To educate students, not simply to be survivors in a competitive world, but to become good leaders of their communities.
Students will be equipped with fundamental knowledge and ability to apply this knowledge and to keep abreast with the
ever-changing technological advancements. They will be cultivated with life experience skills to understand themselves
and society, to maintain good health, to ever enrich their wisdom, to be self-reliant, ethical, disciplined and honest,
proud of their nationalities and be capable of critical thinking and communication.

Concept
Learning by Doing
Believing that "Practice makes perfect" the School uses a "hands-on" approach to learning. All students are given
opportunities to develop their skills through practical investigations, experiments stimulate the students quest for knowledge.

Curriculum
Academic Excellence
To ensure that students can attain high educational standards we have selected the British National Curriculum and
the Cambridge University IGCSE and AICE curriculums.
The curriculum at UIS is divided into three separate programs:
• Elementary Year Program : GRADE 1 - GRADE 4
• Middle Year Program : GRADE 5 - GRADE 8
• Senior Year Program : GRADE 9 - GRADE 10 (IGCSE) GRADE 11 - GRADE 12 (AICE)
UIS is authorized by the Thai Ministry of Education to issue a High School Diploma, which is acceptable for admission
to Thai Universities

Careful planning in the Middle and Senior Year Programs permit the design of a study plan centered on a student's
particular interests and abilities. Students are required to pass at least 5 IGCSE exams to qualify for entry to
Thai university. Students planning to study at a foreign university should continue studies at the AICE level.

Life at Universal International School
At Universal International School we have created a cozy atmosphere where students are treated as part of
the family and loved by the teachers. Students are looked after by teachers who also act as advisors giving
words of advice and support when needed, as they would do to their own children. Therefore, teachers have
an important role to play as substitute parents since the children are far from home.

The student's daily routine begins at 6:00 AM with morning exercise, preparation for classes, breakfast and
the Thai flag-raising ceremony.

Classes run from 8:00 AM until 3:00 PM with one hour for lunch and a snack break from 3:00 to 3:30 PM.

At 3:30 PM a team of qualified teachers and coaches conduct a two-hour program offering students choices
from many indoor/outdoor sports and activities.

Dinner is at 6:00 PM followed by a supervised study hall period where the students can complete homework
assignments or revise class work.

Bedtime is at 9:30 PM

Activities
The superb facilities at UIS offer the students a unique opportunity to enjoy a wide and varied range of activities
in a beautiful and environmentally friendly setting. The school is equipped with a large gymnasium that caters for
basketball, volleyball and badminton, a 25 m swimming pool, 3 tennis courts, football pitch and a 9 hole golf course.
Because we are boarding school students have ample time to use these facilities. Mountain biking, horseback riding,
cooking, martial arts, Thai dancing and music are just a few more of the many activities available for the students
to learn and enjoy.

UIS is quickly developing a strong tradition of playing competitive sport. The school boasts a strong internal
house color competitive where students regularly engage in a wide variety of sporting competitions. In addition
