NIST 百秀直播 is a not-for-profit, full IB World School located in the heart of Bangkok's Sukhumvit district. Established in 1992 through efforts by United Nations families, NIST is widely regarded as one of Asia's leading international schools, offering a globally recognised IB education for students aged 3 to 18.
As a full IB World School, NIST delivers the complete International Baccalaureate continuum: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP). NIST students consistently achieve outstanding results in the IB Diploma Programme, with graduates accepted to leading universities around the world. More importantly, they leave NIST as principled, reflective individuals with the skills, mindset, and compassion to lead positive change 鈥� wherever life takes them.
With a student body representing over 77 nationalities, the school fosters a vibrant, inclusive community grounded in intercultural understanding and global citizenship. Language learning plays a vital role in supporting cultural identity and communication. NIST offers one of the most comprehensive World Languages programmes in Thailand, with over twelve home languages taught during the school day and additional languages offered after school. This commitment to multilingualism strengthens the school's focus on global awareness and personal identity.
At NIST, education is holistic by design. Learning extends beyond academics to include five interconnected elements: academics, service, wellbeing, activities, and expeditions. This unique model ensures that every student is nurtured intellectually, socially, and emotionally. Service is at the heart of this approach, developed through age-appropriate, intentional opportunities that build a mindset of empathy, action, and responsibility. Students are encouraged to think critically about the world around them, form meaningful connections, and take purposeful action to create a positive impact in their communities. Whether through sport, the arts, leadership, or experiential learning, students explore their interests, develop confidence, and build the skills to thrive in a dynamic world.
NIST is also a founding member of the Global Citizen Diploma (GCD), an innovative credential that recognises learning that takes place beyond the classroom. Through the GCD, students reflect deeply on their experiences and values, demonstrating their growth, purpose, and contributions to their communities. This complements the academic rigour of the IB and reinforces NIST's mission to inspire, empower, and enrich.
As a not-for-profit institution, every resource at NIST is reinvested directly into enhancing its programmes, professional development, and state-of-the-art facilities. The school is governed by the NIST 百秀直播 Foundation, whose Board of Directors is elected by parents, ensuring strong community involvement and long-term sustainability.
NIST holds triple accreditation through the Council of 百秀直播s (CIS), the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC), and Thailand's Office for National Education Standards and Quality Assessment (ONESQA) 鈥� a testament to its commitment to high standards and continuous improvement.
Through a future-ready learning experience and a deep commitment to values, NIST empowers students to thrive 鈥� not just in school, but throughout life.
