Introduction

The International School Eastern Seaboard (ISE) in Chonburi, Thailand, welcomes students aged 2 through Grade 12 within a leafy campus set beside Burapha Golf Club, about 30 minutes from Pattaya and 20 minutes from Chonburi City. ISE delivers an American curriculum based on AERO standards from Pre‑Kindergarten to Grade 10, and then offers Advanced Placement courses and the IB Diploma Programme in Grades 11 and 12. With class sizes kept small (below an 8:1 student‑teacher ratio), students receive individualized attention. The school teaches English as its language of instruction, and offers Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish as additional languages. Beyond core subjects, the school integrates service learning through CAS, MUN, and sustainability themes tied to UN SDGs. Athletics and outdoor education make use of the golf‑club environment. The school’s Fine Arts Centre hosts visual and performing arts activities. ISE also provides ESL support to help international students meet academic standards.

The Essentials

International School Eastern Seaboard has 300 pupils, typical class sizes of 8, instruction in English.

Location
International School Eastern Seaboard (ISE) is located within the Burapha Golf Club in the Bowin area of Chonburi Province, along Thailand’s Eastern Economic Corridor. The campus is approximately 30 km from Pattaya and 20 km from the Laem Chabang Industrial Estate, a key hub for international business.

The school is situated in a quiet, green environment with low pollution levels, making it popular with expatriate and business families. While public transport options are limited, most families rely on private vehicles or the school’s zone-based transport service.

Stages
ISE follows an American-style curriculum, structured into five main divisions: Pre-Kindergarten (ages 2–4), Elementary School (Kindergarten–Grade 5), Middle School (Grades 6–8), Secondary School (Grades 9–10), and the IB Diploma Programme (Grades 11–12). Students progress from foundational skills in early education through subject-based instruction in higher grades, with the option to pursue Advanced Placement (AP) courses or the full IB Diploma in their final two years.

Type
ISE is a co‑educational, non‑boarding day school. It provides a welcoming learning environment for students from diverse nationalities, teaching all subjects in English from Pre‑Kindergarten through Grade 12.

Additional learning support
Students who require additional English language support at ISE are assessed through screening on entry or teacher referral. The EAL programme begins from Grade 1 and focuses on helping students develop the language proficiency needed to participate in mainstream classes. Instruction includes vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension, speaking, and writing. EAL teachers work in coordination with classroom staff and monitor progress through ongoing assessment. Support is gradually reduced once students demonstrate they can access the curriculum without assistance. The school does not publish data on the proportion of students receiving EAL services.

Country affiliation
The school offers an American-style curriculum but is not formally affiliated with the U.S. government.

Religious affiliation
International School Eastern Seaboard has no religious affiliation and operates as a secular school.
