Shape a New Legacy in Bangkok: Opportunities at SPGS International School Bangkok

Imagine beginning your next international teaching chapter at SPGS International School Bangkok (SISB), an exciting new school with world-class facilities designed by the same company that built the award-winning Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok at Chao Phraya River and Capella Bangkok. The school will welcome its first students from Nursery to Year 6 in September 2026.

For international educators seeking the rare opportunity to help shape a school’s culture and vision from the very beginning, SISB offers an inspiring professional journey. The school is committed to building a vibrant learning community where students are active collaborators in their own growth, supported by an extensive and thoughtfully integrated co-curricular program. With a clear trajectory toward offering a full pathway from Early Years through Sixth Form—and the Senior School opening for Years 7 to 9 in 2027—educators joining now will play a foundational role in the school’s development.

Located in a central district of one of the world’s most dynamic and multicultural cities, the SISB campus is designed to provide a forward-looking education that balances academic excellence with creativity, individuality, and personal growth. Just 20 minutes by taxi from Bangkok’s diverse social and cultural hubs, the school’s location offers educators the chance to enjoy both professional fulfillment and the rich lifestyle of this vibrant capital.

Purpose-built with learners in mind, the campus features modern classrooms, specialist arts and sports facilities, an Innovation Centre, and dynamic outdoor learning spaces. Close collaboration with St Paul's Girls' School strengthens academic standards and reflects a shared commitment to excellence in teaching, wellbeing, and the broader curriculum—an exciting prospect for educators who value both tradition and innovation.

SISB currently delivers inquiry-based learning alongside an enhanced British curriculum enriched with Thai cultural understanding and language to 300 students from Early Years through Year 6. In the coming years, the school will introduce the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma as well as the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE), ensuring graduates are well prepared for university and future pathways. While 75% of the student population is Thai, families from 10 nationalities contribute to a diverse and globally minded community. The international teaching staff is further enriched by Thai educators, who make up 50% of the faculty, creating a collaborative and culturally responsive professional environment.

SISB hires certified, overseas teaching candidates of diverse profiles, including couples with non-teaching partners and newly certified teachers. Candidates need not hold their academic degree in the subject they will be teaching, and as per government regulations, there is no age limit for certified teachers to obtain a work visa.

The overseas teaching benefits package includes generous allowances for moving, housing, airfare at the start and end of every contract, and full tuition for up to two children. The school contributes 3% to a retirement plan, which is disbursed at the end of employment. The school provides an ongoing bespoke program of professional development (PD) throughout the year, which includes links with SPGS London and peer schemes. Additionally, teachers receive an annual stipend for PD. Worldwide—except for the U.S.—health insurance is provided and includes dental and emergency evacuation.
