ABOUT TSI:

Educating students since 1985, TSI International School was one of Bangkok’s first international schools (previously ‘Thai Sikh International School’).

TSI is a non-profit school governed by a registered not-for-profit foundation. In 2017, the school began a renewal process with new management and a complete review of our Values and Guiding Statements. Since 2017, the school has gone from strength to strength. We continue to experience a significant increase in enrolments as our reputation for providing world-class international schooling continues to grow. In August 2025, we opened our second primary school at our Bearing Campus (formerly a secondary school only).

We have moved on from a ‘renewal’ phase and are now firmly entrenched in school improvement and will complete our CIS Accreditation process in April 2026. After the CIS Preparatory Visit, one evaluator from the Council of International Schools (CIS) posted the following on LinkedIn:

“My colleague and I spent the week getting to know so many of the dedicated and supportive educators and administrators, as well as the students and parents of this thriving learning community. Truly future-focused learning and teaching was witnessed during our time there.”
They also noted the TSI team was “confidently moving the school forward into its next phase of development.”

TSI International School is a thriving, family-orientated school, and we employ highly committed, western-qualified teachers who facilitate learning founded on the English National Curriculum using engaging inquiry-based teaching strategies.

Both our Wongwianyai and Bearing campuses offer exceptional opportunities for both experienced and recent-graduate teachers.

Aside from the package, why should you join TSI International School?
• We have 100% retention of staff for the next year!
• We are a great team of staff; friendly, competent and dedicated (Noted by CIS evaluators and another recent leadership consultant who visited the school)
• A strong, cohesive and stable leadership team (CIS feedback).
• A very clear vision for schooling and learning as represented in our Guiding Statements (see our website)
• Professional autonomy and trust
• Incredibly strong sense of community and an increasingly diverse mix of nationalities (32 in December 2025). Both of our campuses have a 'family' feel. (Student feedback supports this)
• A non-profit school with a Board of Governors who are committed to returning all funds back into school development
• A commitment to staff development

Thank you for taking the time to consider joining our unique and special school community. If what you've researched about TSI resonates with you, we look forward to receiving your application.

📌 Please review the requirements to teach English in Thailand before you start applying for teaching positions. If the job post specifies "NES" or "Native English Speaker", it typically means applicants are required to be from one of the following countries: United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa. However, in some cases, this may indicate a preference rather than a strict requirement.


⏳ Due to the high number of applications the schools receive they may not be able to respond to every application. If you don't hear back from them within a week or so, it's best to move on to the next job.


⚠️ Watch out for agencies that charge fees or take a cut of your salary. Good agencies get paid by the schools - not by taking money from you. If you’re not sure how they make money, just ask. If they say they take a percentage, that’s a red flag - avoid them and let us know so we can ban them from the site. Unlike other job boards that allow these kinds of agencies to advertise at your expense, we don’t - we’ve already banned several to stop teachers from being underpaid or exploited.


⚠️ When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy anything which they then pay you back for later. NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. Scams in TEFL are rampant, be careful!
