Type of School - Ruamrudee International School (RIS), located in Minburi, Bangkok, is a privately owned Preschool–Grade 12 co-educational day and boarding school offering an enhanced, internationalized American curriculum. With over 60 years of excellence, RIS is one of Thailand’s most established and respected schools. Fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) through June 2027, RIS provides a continuous, high-quality education from Preschool to Grade 12, including its boarding program.
The PreK program follows the Reggio Emilia philosophy, while Grades K–5 are aligned with AERO standards. In high school, students can pursue the IB Diploma, AP courses, or a comprehensive American curriculum. A diverse range of extracurricular offerings enhances student life, with exceptional programs in athletics, music, and the performing arts.
The Minburi campus features purpose-built classrooms, libraries, art studios, music and choir rooms, multipurpose and covered gyms, tennis courts, swimming pools, a fitness center, yoga room, recording studio, and robotics lab. The highlight of recent developments is Redeemer Hall, a new state-of-the-art residence providing modern comfort and a true home-away-from-home atmosphere. Spacious bedrooms, collaborative study lounges, and dedicated faculty apartments ensure academic focus, personal growth, and 24/7 mentorship within a close-knit community.
RIS Ratchapruek (RISR) opened in August 2019 and now serves students from PreK–Grade 12. Home to learners from over 15 nationalities, RISR offers the same high academic standards and nurturing environment to families in Nonthaburi, Bangkok, and nearby areas.
RIS Early Years, launched in August 2020 on Prayasuren Road, serves children from Pre-KG to Kindergarten. Rooted in the Reggio Emilia approach, the program encourages sensory exploration, creativity, and curiosity, laying a strong foundation for success at RIS Minburi and RISR.
