QSI Phuket was founded in August 2000. At the beginning of the school year 2011-2012, 112 students were enrolled. In 2014, QSI Phuket had 129 students enrolled. In June of 2019, QSI Phuket had 68 students enrolled.

Grading[]

Mastery of each unit is evaluated with an A or B (mastery grades). B represents mastery at a very good level and “A” represents mastery with the student demonstrating higher order thinking skills. Mediocre or poor work (C and D) are not accepted. If a student has mastered a unit with a B evaluation, they may wish to demonstrate a higher level of mastery at a later time, within that current school year, to change the evaluation to an A. A time period (quarter, semester, term) is not evaluated; student performance for the school year is assessed on each essential unit in which a student is engaged.
