Welcome to the Panyathip British International School-Savannakhet, and thank you for showing interest in our school. I am very proud to be the Headteacher of such a wonderful school. At Panyathip International School we are committed to providing every student attending our school with a high-quality education and opportunities for them to ‘Become the Best that they can be”. We command the highest expectations of both our students and our staff and expect our students to work hard in order to fulfil and exceed their academic potential, therefore providing opportunities for them to pursue their talents and passions. We do this by offering a broad, knowledge-rich curriculum and a caring, supportive learning environment. We expect all of our staff to lead by example and it is our mission is to help develop and empower individuals through a positive learning environment and equip them with experiences, knowledge, and skills that will enable them to be successful and resilient in whatever they choose to do in life. Whatever our students aspire to be, we are here to support them. We value each of them, not just for who they are but also for what they can become. Ambitious for them, we challenge them to aim for careers of significance, influence and service, gaining the results needed to work at the best colleges, universities and companies. But we also want them to live lives that are personally enriched and fulfilled and that is why we also seek to develop in them a love of the arts, culture, sport, public service, charity and community involvement. We are proud to be a diverse and international community following a British-style curriculum and learning experience and celebrate all our cultures, whilst working toward internationally accepted and accredited UK-standard qualifications. We are also proud to be members of COBIS (Council of British International Schools), FOBISIA (Federation of British International Schools in Asia) and accredited by Cambridge Assessment for curriculum and examinations, because they confirm our standards meet the excellence that these organisations represent and demand and provide our students, their families and our staff with opportunities beyond the school campus. We know that great learning does not happen through academics alone. Our school caters for the whole development of all students. Through our co-curricular programmes, students are afforded opportunities for leadership and participation in experiences that develop aspiration, resilience and the understanding of others. Success can come in different areas and we celebrate all these achievements and accomplishments as a community. We work on achieving great academic and co-curriculum outcomes for our students, so that they not only get to the interview for the next step in their learning or their dream job, but they also have the character and skills to secure those opportunities and thrive in them and life Most importantly, we work hard to ensure that our students feel safe and are happy. We set a high bar for safety and the welfare of our students. By following the highest international standards for child protection and for the prevention of serious harm and abuse to young people, we are meticulous in all we do to ensure that the necessary steps and actions are taken to protect students and nurture their development in school and outside. I very much look forward to welcoming you to our school.
