Udon Thani International School (UDIS) was founded in 2013 by Siriphat Pukpo and Dr. Lindsay Stuart. Having struggled to find quality education in the area, they wanted to create a school for their children which didn’t involve sending them away to boarding school. This has resonated firmly with many other parents in the region who also face the difficult choice of where to school their kindergarten, primary, middle and high school aged children. UDIS has addressed this gap by bringing quality international education to the people of Udon Thani with a creative and inquiring curriculum using both the International Baccalaureate and the National Curriculum of England.
UDIS is an authorised school for the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP) and Diploma Programme (DP) in Udon Thani, Thailand.
The school has been an IB World School authorised to offer the Primary Years Programme (PYP) since the 2018/2019 academic year. The PYP is an inquiry based programme which is used to prepare students for the information rich world in which we now live, where being able to find, interpret and analyse information has become so important. The school also uses the National Curriculum of England (NCE) for our Early Years programme and also for mathematics, English and science in our Primary Years. The NCE offers clear standards of education while it is a well-known curriculum used in many international schools around the world. This combination provides both an inquiring and creative curriculum for our learners based on annual benchmarks.
In December, 2019 the school became a candidate school for the Middle Years Programme (MYP). We became fully authorised to offer the MYP in June 2023. Currently we offer Middle Years classes up to Year 11.
In March, 2024, we became fully authorised in the Diploma Programme and offer this programme for our Year 12 and Year 13 classes.
UDIS offers classes from Preschool (2-3 year olds) all the way through to the end of high school with our Year 13 class. Years 12-13 use the IB’s Diploma Programme which has proven itself to be the best university preparation that school’s can provide both for overseas and Thailand universities.
The school has a range of facilities to house our growing school and we have most recently completed our new Primary Years building which includes labs for science and design/art as well as an auditorium. In 2025/2026 we are completing the development of a new 9,600 square meter sports facility which will include a full size football field, multisport court, changing rooms and toilets and additional parking.
