At PGIS, we combine global standards with a warm, community-driven approach to learning.

With small class sizes, individualized attention, and a strong focus on real-world learning, students feel supported, confident, and inspired to reach their potential. PGIS is a welcoming international community where students, parents, and teachers work together to build strong foundations for lifelong success. |
| Teaching approach of the school |
At Prasan Gateway International School (PGIS Phuket), our teaching approach is inquiry-based, hands-on, and child-centered. We follow the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) and International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC), which encourage students to learn through active exploration, collaboration, and reflection. Teachers guide learning by connecting academic subjects to real-world themes and experiences, helping students understand not just what they learn, but why it matters. Lessons are designed to build critical thinking, communication, and creativity, while developing each child’s personal learning goals, such as empathy, resilience, and adaptability. We believe learning happens best in a supportive, engaging environment where students feel confident to ask questions, take risks, and celebrate progress together. |
