About Windfield International School

A community of learning, leadership, and international excellence.

Our Vision & Founding Story

Teaching the Professionals of Tomorrow

Windfield International School was founded through the collaboration of M. Stéphane Salaun, Director of the French School of Koh Samui, and the Yongsiri family, entrepreneurs from Bangkok with a deep passion for education.

This partnership was built on a shared commitment: to provide children with a high-quality education in both the French and British curricula, while also nurturing their character, creativity, and talents. Beyond academia, Windfield fosters strong moral values, individualised attention, and opportunities in sports, music, art, dance, and community service.

The involvement of the Yongsiri family ensures the long-term stability of the school and the development of a serious, forward-looking project. By bringing French and British programs together on one campus, Windfield creates an environment of linguistic and cultural exchange that prepares students for the future and instills in them a lifelong passion for excellence in learning.

Mission

We seek to inspire children to become global citizens through an inquiry-based learning environment, immersed in multiple languages and cultures.

We combine the best traditional values and Thai culture with an engaging, forward-thinking program that prepares students for life and work in the 21st century.

Vision

Our programme engages students in a holistic and challenging curriculum that nurtures curiosity, language fluency, and cultural intelligence.

We are a multicultural community of passionate teachers, supportive families, and engaged students. Together, we foster responsibility, creativity, and respect—preparing graduates who thrive in a diverse global environment.

Our diverse language programme promotes intercultural awareness and enhances the key skills of the 21st century: communication, collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking.

Our ambitions are clear: to be the school of choice in Koh Samui, recognised for academic excellence, cultural richness, and a vibrant community spirit.
