RIS is located on a beautifully manicured 29-acre clean-air campus with separate buildings for elementary, middle school, and high school. The facilities at RIS allow our students and teachers the tools and resources they need to make the most of their learning, including a vibrant performing arts program and a comprehensive athletics program with over 60 sports teams. As well as our purpose-built facilities highlighted below, our students enjoy art studios, choir and music rooms, two large multipurpose gyms, two full-sized covered gyms, squash courts, and PE classrooms. Students boarding at Seelos Residence enjoy private or shared college-style dorms and access to all the campus has to offer.

OUR FACILITIES
Football Fields
RIS has two multipurpose regulation-size fields. One is a FIFA-approved artificial turf used for both 11-a-side football and rugby. The other is natural grass field large enough to fit two regulation-size football pitches as well as a smaller pitch and is used for PE classes, softball, archery, rugby, and ultimate Frisbee, among others.
Pools
RIS boasts two exceptional, recently renovated pools: Phoenix pool measures 25m x 50m—officially Olympic size and concurrent with FINA standards; Godbout pool is our shallower 25m pool, that’s filter system was upgraded to an automatic salt-chlorination system. Phoenix pool has seen major upgrades, including a special PVC lining, starter blocks for both short- and long-course events, a synthetic rubber pool deck, a state-of-the-art LCD scoreboard, and a timing system with highly sensitive touch pads. Sails, extending across the entire pool, provide shade to keep the water, deck, and viewing areas cooler.
Tennis Courts
Our two tennis courts have recently been resurfaced and are popular for students of all ages, from our tiny beginners to successful Varsity team players.
Fitness Center
The Phoenix Fitness Center is our newly remodeled gym where HS students and staff can work out using any of the cardio machines (stair steppers, treadmills, elliptical trainers, rowers, and stationary bikes), free weights, weight machines, and CrossFit area, all while listening to music through our state-of-the-art speaker system.
Yoga Room
The yoga room is not only the ideal space for students to practice yoga and mediation, but it is also used for many other activities, such as dance, aerobics, kickboxing, and CrossFit. The room can accommodate up to 24 participants and includes mats, blocks, and straps for yoga and TRX, as well as boxing bags, blockers, and gloves for kickboxing. Adjacent to the yoga room, a tranquil lounge allows our students and faculty to relax and prepare for their mindfulness practice.
Performing Arts Center (PAC)
Our 300-seat, tiered Performing Arts Center (PAC) is where RIS students proudly present their band, choir, drama, and musical productions. The PAC is also the ideal space for showcasing student and faculty talent shows, the annual Easter and Christmas performances, and the always inspiring TEDxYouth talks. Besides the main stage, the PAC also features mirrored practice rooms and two large dressing rooms.
Recording Studio
RIS is one of the only schools in Thailand with a fully equipped recording studio. Featuring top-end digital-recording and sound-editing technology and supervised by trained staff, the studio is used to make professional recordings of music classes and choirs, as well as high-quality recordings of students’ modern language oral exams for external grading. A sound engineer also offers an EDP course in the recording studio that covers the basics of audio production, including microphone technique, digital audio editing/mixing, audio for video, and electronic music production.
Culinary Arts Center
Our new Culinary Arts Center is a state-of-the-art kitchen where students can learn everything from basic culinary skills to how to prepare a complete meal. The space is equipped with 6 cooking stations, each with an oven and a cooktop. Stainless steel appliances and granite countertops allow for easy, hygienic cleanup. The PA system, with its recessed ceiling speakers, ensures that instruction and guidance can be heard in this 155m2 open-plan room. Also featured is a spacious teaching station where instructors gather students to demonstrate techniques, monitor practice, set up ingredients, and offer tastings.
Robotics Lab
This sole function of this space is for students to explore their creativity. They can work together, in or out of class time, and use different types of materials to develop innovative devices and experiment with all sorts of tools, including 3D printers, motors, actuators, and microcontrollers with a range of sensors. Students can also build robots, both for fun in robotics class or to compete in VEX robotic events. You may even see the odd indoor drone maneuvering around the room. Many students just like to hang out in the room to collaborate on assignments or workshops. The HS Technology club also meets here and has a significant input into how we develop and use the space.
MS MakerSpace
The MS MakerSpace is a collaborative workspace where students and staff are encouraged to explore, play, learn, and build on new or previous ideas. The flexible, contemporary workspace is also used to hold workshops and offers support for classroom and EDP projects. With its tools and building materials, 3D printer, and electronic components, the MakerSpace is one of several places where students can choose to spend their lunch or milk breaks exploring their own interests while being engaged in creative, hands-on activities.
Ceramics Studio
In the spacious ceramics studio we have 10 potter’s wheels, 2 large electric kilns, and plenty of table space for students to explore a diverse range of creative techniques, from sculpture and handbuilding to glazing and decorating. The ceramics studio is the ideal space for young artists to improve their creativity and problem-solving skills that are vital for today’s 21st-century learners.
