Kajonkiet International School Phuket (KIS)

What Kajonkiet International School Phuket (KIS) does

Kajonkiet International School Phuket (KIS) is a co-educational day school located in Kathu, Phuket, Thailand, operating as part of the Kajonkiet School Group. It delivers the British National Curriculum for England in English to students aged 2-18 across four sequential phases: Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS, ages 2-4), Primary (Key Stages 1-2, ages 5-11), Secondary (Key Stages 3-4, ages 11-16, leading to IGCSE), and Sixth Form (Key Stage 5, ages 16-18, leading to AS and A2 qualifications). The school's core technology is the standardized English national curriculum framework taught by qualified specialist teachers primarily recruited from the UK and Europe, supplemented by teachers from South Africa, New Zealand, and North America. Class sizes are capped at 16 students in EYFS, 20 in Primary, and 24 in Secondary. The school holds WASC Full Accreditation Status valid through June 2032 and reports a multicultural student body of approximately 50 nationalities (64% international, 36% Thai). Exam performance published on the site includes 51% A*-A / 91% A*-C at IGCSE (2020) and 81% A*-A / 100% A*-C at A2 (2021).

Beyond the core academic program, KIS offers several product extensions: a Summer School program (e.g., the 2026 'Time Traveller' themed four-week program with tiered multi-week pricing in THB), a Learning Support Service line bundling SEN Support (with a dedicated speech and language therapist), EAL Support, and Pastoral Care, an extensive Co-Curricular Activities (ECA) program starting at Year 1, and an Academic Scholarships Programme covering Years 10-13 in Academic, Art, Drama, Dance, Music, and Sports categories with bursary support.

The business model is B2C tuition-based recurring revenue. Primary revenue comes from academic-year tuition fees across EYFS through Sixth Form. A ฿2,000 per-applicant application fee and seasonal Summer School fees are additional revenue streams. Pricing details are largely distributed via PDF documents rather than the public site. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via a structured admissions process with Registrar support, campus tours, meetings with heads, and online testing for remote families. Marketing relies on social media (Facebook, Instagram, Line@), community events (annual KIS Fun Run, Christmas concert), parent workshops, the school website, and word-of-mouth referrals. The school is currently building a new 40-Rai campus in Kathu with purpose-built academic buildings for each phase, and maintains an active recruitment page ahead of AY 2026/27.
