Overview
Garden International School (GIS) was founded in 1994 in Ban Chang, Rayong, making it the region's flagship international school and the only fully international, British-curriculum-through-IB-Diploma school based in Rayong province itself. GIS teaches roughly 480 students from around 40 nationalities, following the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) and British National Curriculum through Primary, Cambridge IGCSE at age 16, and the IB Diploma Programme in the sixth form. The school offers day places plus weekly and full boarding from Year 5, and is accredited by CIS and authorized by the IBO, with ONESQA recognition in Thailand. GIS sits close to U-Tapao airport and the Amata City industrial estate, making it the default choice for most EEC relocation families based in or near Ban Chang. BAANLYY is not affiliated with GIS and takes no paid placement in this guide; confirm all figures directly with the school.
Who it's for
GIS suits families who want a fully international, British-curriculum education through the IB Diploma without leaving Rayong province, and who value CIS/IBO accreditation and an established, multi-decade track record. Boarding options from Year 5 make it a workable choice even for families whose work base shifts within the wider EEC region. Families wanting a considerably lower-cost bilingual Thai-English track in the same Ban Chang area often consider Royal English Programme School (REPS Ban Chang) instead.
Location & getting there
GIS sits at 188/24 Moo 4 on Pala-Banchang Road in Tambon Pala, Ban Chang -- close to U-Tapao airport and the Amata City industrial estate, and the centre of Rayong's expat and corporate-relocation community. Rayong has no rail-transit network, so most families drive, use the school bus service or a company shuttle; confirm current bus-route coverage directly with the school.
FAQ
What curriculum does Garden International School (GIS) offer?
GIS follows the British National Curriculum through the Early Years Foundation Stage and Primary, Cambridge IGCSE at age 16, and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in the sixth form (Years 12-13).
Is GIS the only fully international school in Rayong province?
No -- and this page said otherwise until August 2026. GIS, founded in 1994 in Ban Chang, is Rayong's longest-established international school, but St Andrews International School Green Valley is also in Rayong province, at Samnak Thon in the SAME Ban Chang district: its owner Cognita publishes the address as Ban Chang District, Rayong 21130, and the IB's own school record is filed under Rayong. It runs the IB Primary Years Programme as well as the IB Diploma, so it is the province's only PYP provision. The International School of the Eastern Seaboard genuinely is across the border, at Bo Win in Sriracha, Chonburi. See the Rayong schools guide for the full three-school field and who owns each.
Does GIS offer boarding?
Yes -- GIS offers day places alongside weekly and full boarding options from Year 5 onward.
Where is GIS located?
188/24 Moo 4, Pala-Banchang Road, Tambon Pala, Ban Chang, Rayong -- close to U-Tapao airport and the Amata City industrial estate, in the heart of Rayong's expat community.
