ISB History
Our Heritage
The modern, leading-edge campus and curriculum you see today is a far cry from the humble yet ambitious beginnings of the ‘International Children’s Center’—an American school in Thailand in a wooden building on stilts within the grounds of the US Embassy in 1951. It is also very different from the period in central Bangkok when enrollment soared to over 3,600 students during the Vietnam War.
Our spacious campus, enveloped in a luscious tropical community, is home to around 1,700 students. Yet the spirit of ISB, our values, our commitment to academic excellence, and our global outlook have remained constant for the past 70 years.
