Greenacre International School

Greenacre International School is nestled in the calm Na Mueang area on southern Koh Samui, Thailand, surrounded by coconut hills and close to the Na Mueang waterfalls. The campus is away from crowded tourist centers but reachable via main island roads, with bus pickup services from Chaweng and other nearby zones.

The school provides education beginning with the Early Years Foundation Stage at age 3 and continues through four further Key Stages, supporting students up to around age 15 or 16.

Greenacre is a co‑educational day school.

Students who are English as an Additional Language (EAL) learners are supported through intervention classes that focus on spoken and daily-use English, helping build vocabulary, listening, and speaking skills.

The school follows the English National Curriculum and functions as a Pearson Edexcel Approved Examinations Centre, reflecting a strong link to British educational standards.

Greenacre International School is secular and does not align with any religious organization.

The school day at Greenacre International School begins with a flag ceremony at 8:40 am, followed by lessons starting shortly afterwards. Students have a morning break from 10:30–10:45 and a lunch break from 12:00–12:45 in Primary or 12:15–1:00 in Secondary. Afternoon lessons continue until 3:00 pm, with clubs running from 3:00–3:45 on most days before students go home

The school runs minibus transport covering several island zones, including Lamai, Nathon, Chaweng, and Maenam, offering convenient daily commuting options for families.

Greenacre delivers the National Curriculum of England from Early Years (age 3) through to about age 16, structured across four Key Stages. The EYFS stage focuses on play-based learning in seven core areas, including literacy, numeracy, and expressive arts. In Primary, students engage with a range of subjects, English, Maths, Science, History, Geography, Art & Design, Computing, PE, and Swimming—taught by class teachers and specialists. Key Stage 3 (Years 7–9) uses the Edexcel programme across roughly ten academic subjects. As an officially certified Pearson Edexcel Examinations Centre, Greenacre equips students in upper secondary with support toward the IGCSE examinations.

Greenacre promotes resilience and a sense of responsibility through restorative practices that encourage respect, accountability, and empathy among students. The school also integrates gratitude and kindness into its daily experience, aiming to foster a sense of belonging and personal value in each child. While these are core components of the school’s ethos, there is no mention of a specific, structured SEL curriculum or dedicated staff roles for SEL coordination.

The school states it is inclusive, welcoming students from a range of backgrounds and abilities. However, it does not publicly detail any specific provisions for Special Educational Needs, nor does it specify the types of SEN support available or whether it employs specialist staff.

Greenacre offers intervention classes for students who speak English as an additional language. In these sessions, teachers focus on practical, everyday English skills—particularly speaking, listening, and vocabulary—to support EAL students' inclusion and engagement.

The school uses wellbeing practices aimed at developing kindness, self-worth, and compassion among students—elements that can contribute to emotional wellbeing. However, there are no specific programs, staff roles, or formal mental health initiatives explicitly described in their published materials.

Greenacre maintains a Restorative Practice Policy, which is part of its framework of school policies regularly reviewed to reflect good international practice. Beyond this, the school does not publicly share detailed information about safeguarding procedures, such as child protection protocols or designated safeguarding personnel.

1. Book a visit
During the visit, staff explain the admissions procedure, required documents, payments due (including refund and notice requirements), and next steps. If English is not your child’s first language, they will meet the EAL specialist as part of this visit.

2. Prepare and submit documents
Submit the Greenacre Application Form, recent school reports, and your child’s birth certificate/Thai ID. Provide two passport photos, passport copies for parents and the child. These documents allow the school to verify eligibility and plan any needed support.

3. Offer, acceptance, and payments
Acceptance must be completed before the first day. Paying the school fees and the non-refundable registration fee for each student constitutes formal acceptance of a place.

The school does not publicly disclose any information about operating a waitlist or pool system.
