Distance from the areas

Straight-line kilometres from the area centre to the campus; the school run on Phuket's roads is longer, and the bus routes each school publishes are the practical test.

Who it suits

  • Families who want the full run from nursery to an IB Diploma on one campus, with sports academies and boarding.
  • Secondary students on the IGCSE → IB route; the largest sixth form on the island.
  • Households on the east side — Koh Kaew, Phuket Town, Panwa — or anywhere on the school-bus network.
