Most of our families reside in Nichada Thani where ISB is located. This gives many of our students the wonderful option to come to school on foot, on their bicycles, or be driven to school in a family golf cart or car. This short commute to school is very safe for children to complete on their own as the roads in Nichada Thani are monitored by guards at all times. 

For students living outside Nichada Thani, the Montri Transportation Company has been providing transportation services to ISB since 1976.
