Ko Kaeo

Finnway International School Phuket is the first Finnish school on the island. The Finnish education system combines a strong academic foundation with an innovative approach that focuses on the holistic development of each child in a joyful, supportive environment. Finland is known for having one of the highest happiness levels in the world – and this philosophy is at the heart of Finnway.

The school offers multiple levels of education, starting as early as age two: Early Childhood Education (ages 2–3), Kindergarten (ages 2–3), and Primary School (ages 6–12).

In Finnish philosophy, learning is a continuous process that goes beyond the classroom. The day begins with academic lessons and continues outdoors – in gardens or on excursions. A lesson about plants might flow naturally into the school garden, where children can physically explore a living ecosystem.

Finnway offers a rich excursion program tailored to various interests – from museums to rubber plantations – and a wide-ranging sports curriculum including football, tennis, swimming, climbing, and even figure skating.

Children are immersed in a multilingual environment, with additional instruction in English, Thai, Russian, and Chinese. Classes are kept small to ensure personalized attention for each student.

Located in the safe Boat Lagoon area, the school environment is designed with Finnish principles in mind: bright classrooms, themed zones, and an on-site garden for hands-on projects and discovery.

At Finnway, children learn to embrace the idea of work-life balance from an early age, guided by dedicated professionals who support them at every step of their educational journey.
