This strategic expansion is underpinned by a robust academic foundation and a legacy spanning more than 30 years.

Presently, Cognita manages four St. Andrews International Schools campuses in Thailand: Dusit, Sathorn, Sukhumvit 107, and Green Valley (Rayong). This footprint encompasses both Bangkok and the EEC, catering to Thai and international families seeking consistent, world-class education in the country’s most vital locations. The schools offer a seamless educational journey from Early Years to Year 13, delivering the English National Curriculum and IB programmes within modern facilities designed to foster holistic development.

This dual presence in Bangkok and the Eastern region reflects Cognita’s vision of growing in tandem with Thailand’s evolution—particularly within the burgeoning EEC, a hub of industrial investment and a growing expatriate community. The network ensures educational continuity and flexibility for families relocating for professional reasons, whilst instilling confidence through Cognita’s stringent international standards.
