The British International School Phuket (BIS) has triumphed as the “Best Provider of International Education for 2010” in the Prime Minister’s Export Awards.

Collecting the prize in person from PM Abhisit Vejjajiva at Government House in Bangkok last week was BIS Headmaster Dr George Hickman.

In a recent school newsletter, Dr Hickman explained that the award follows hot on the heels of BIS recording its best International Baccalaureate (IB) examination results in the school’s 14-year history.

“Our IB Class of 2009 produced an overall set of final scores which exceeded the world average, and this outstanding achievement is something of which students, parents and teachers can be justly proud,” said Dr Hickman.

“It is also noteworthy that the SAT scores in our primary school showed marked improvement this year, which is another indicator of our continuing commitment to excellence in the development and delivery of an educational program which is second-to-none anywhere,” he added.
