School Overview –

At HeadStart, we are committed to igniting the intellectual curiosity of our students and helping them exceed traditional academic limits. Our mission is to recruit passionate, dedicated, and inspiring educators who can drive all students to unlock their potential and surpass their goals. We deliver a thorough and personalized educational experience. As a community-focused institution, we emphasize individualized learning.

Situated in the vibrant heart of Phuket Island, HeadStart attained ‘International School’ status in 2010 and is fully accredited by The Education Development Trust. During our most recent inspection, we proudly received the International Schools Quality Mark (ISQM), with evaluators acknowledging us as a ‘Good School with Outstanding Features.’

Our educational offering is rooted in the national curriculum of England, providing Cambridge and Pearson qualifications at the secondary level, including IGCSEs, A Levels, and BTECs.

Our main campus at Chaofah accommodates 1,000 students and often has more applications than available spots in several year groups. We are currently expanding our Upper School facilities to develop 'HeadStart College' as the premier educational institution in Southern Thailand.

In August 2023, we launched a new campus in the northern region of the island, Cherngtalay. What began as a one-form Foundation and Primary school has now grown to a three-form entry for Foundation, Primary, and Secondary School (KS3 only), serving up to 500 students.
