PanyaDee, the British School of Samui offers primary education to pre-school children aged from 3 years and up to Grade 6, from both the international community and Thai residents based on Koh Samui.

The school is an approved University of Cambridge International Examination Centre and as such follows the Cambridge International Primary Programme (CIPP) and operates as a non-denominational school with English as the primary language of instruction. In fact all lead teachers have English as their first language. However, the importance of the Thai language and culture is not overlooked and Thai lessons are compulsory for all students with all Thai lessons being conducted by Thai teachers.

PanyaDee endeavours to develop the intellectual, aesthetic, moral, physical, social and emotional potential of the students. The school atmosphere fosters the allegiance of its students to their cultural heritage, and promotes respect and tolerance between students and teachers of all cultures.
