High School · Grades 9–12
Real-World Impact & Innovation
In High School, location-based learning evolves into professional-grade research and advocacy. American-standard courses emphasise the critical thinking and data-driven analysis essential for IB Diploma success, preparing graduates to be technically proficient, environmentally conscious, and ready to lead as global citizens.
The IB Diploma Pathway
Our American-standard high school program is designed to bridge students directly into the prestigious International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme. The IB Diploma is recognised by elite universities globally, including those in the US, UK, Europe, and Australia.
By utilising our proximity to the sea and forest for advanced field studies and sustainable innovation, we empower graduates to be technically proficient, environmentally conscious, and ready to lead as global citizens.
At RIS Phuket, we don't just prepare students for university. We prepare them to impact the world.
