Boarding is expected to be a central part of the school’s offer, which NLCS International said will allow families to access an NLCS education without sending children abroad. The project is also intended to strengthen Phuket’s position as a regional education base, keeping students closer to family and within reach of major travel hubs in Asia.
NLCS Phuket is expected to open with a capacity for about 1,000 students, with scope to expand to around 1,500 over time. Planned facilities include boarding houses, separate junior and senior school areas, science and technology facilities, a 50-metre swimming pool, a sports hall, covered tennis courts and football pitches.

The announcement comes as Thailand’s international education sector grows beyond Bangkok. Kasikorn Research Centre forecasts Thailand’s international school business will grow by 9.7% in 2025, with international student numbers projected to rise by 8.3%. The research also indicates continued expansion outside the capital, naming Phuket as a key provincial market.
VLC Group said the addition of a leading day and boarding school would strengthen Phuket’s family infrastructure and support the wider economy by attracting long-stay residents, skilled professionals, entrepreneurs and investors, while increasing demand across housing, hospitality, retail, transport, local services and employment.

“Top schools create communities around them. We have seen this in places such as Dubai and Jeju, where education has played an important role in shaping internationally minded residential destinations. With NLCS Phuket, we want to support the development of Phuket as an educational centre of excellence for the region.”
NLCS International said NLCS Phuket will maintain close links with the wider NLCS family of schools, with support in school design, curriculum development, recruitment, teacher training, academic planning and quality assurance.
