Garden International School, Kuala Lumpur, was founded in 1952, by MBf Holdings Malaysia. The school rapidly grew to its present size of 2,000 students, and during the course of its growth, MBf established a number of other schools and educational institutions, including Sekolah Sri Garden (a private school for Malaysians), Malaysian Badminton Academy, Taylor's College, Taylor's School of Hotel Management, and Garden International School in Kuantan, Malaysia.
So successful were these establishments, that a decision to move to Thailand saw Garden International School, Thailand, established in 1994, to serve the educational needs of the children of the growing international community living in and around the Eastern Seaboard.
Within a year the school had grown considerably due to increasing number of expatriates in Ban Chang, as a result of the establishment of the growing industrial sites situated nearby.
The school was registered with the Thai Ministry of Education in 1994, with the United Kingdom's Department for Education and Skills in 1995, admitted to membership of FOBISSEA (Federation of British International Schools in South and East Asia) in 1997, and to membership of the IBO (International Baccalaureate Organisation) in 1998.
Garden International School had its first group of students sit for the International General Certificate of Secondary Education in June 1996 and its first International Baccalaureate Diploma candidates in June 1999.
We now have about 420 students representing 30 nationalities on our campus.
