St. Andrews International School, Green Valley
St. Andrews International School, Green Valley is an international school in Rayong, Thailand. It is set in the surroundings of Green Valley Country Club on the outskirts of Pattaya. The purpose built campus has playing fields and riding stables, set amongst three golf courses and rural surroundings.
The curriculum at St. Andrews is a challenging and internationally relevant educational programme. It is a combination of the best of the National Curriculum of England and Wales and the IBO Diploma (DP) programmes, all of which has been carefully adapted to suit the requirements of the broad international community at our school.
From 2014 the school is seeking authorisation to offer the IBO Primary Years Program (PYP) for our Primary age students. Students in our Secondary School will still complete IGCSEs during Years 10 and 11 and then study for the International Baccalaureate Diploma in Year 12 and 13.
With a population of over 460 students from 2 to 18 years old and over 44 nationalities, we are able to maintain the family feel but still offer the opportunities and diversity of a larger school.
The school also operates a Dutch stream, structured according to the benchmarks set by the Dutch Government and Inspector of Education.

This program is a pre-university course for 16-18 year old students.
