Located in central Bangkok, NIST is an oasis amid a dynamic, thriving world capital. Superbly appointed classrooms, labs, athletic and arts facilities create a student- and teacher-friendly environment that is not only inviting but inspiring. From the breathtaking elementary school library to the multi-gym athletic pavilion to exciting learning expeditions throughout Thailand and beyond, students and teachers at NIST want for nothing.
