This week, Finnway International School opened its doors to families across Phuket for a very special Open House — and what an incredible morning it was! From the moment guests arrived, the atmosphere was filled with curiosity, connection, and the shared excitement of discovering something truly different in education.
We welcomed a wonderful group of parents and children, all eager to learn more about what makes Finnway stand out. Visitors had the opportunity to explore our modern campus, meet our passionate and experienced teachers, and find out how our school brings the highly regarded Finnish education system to life here in Thailand.
Why the Finnish Education System?
Globally recognised as one of the most effective and progressive approaches to learning, the Finnish school system is built around a few simple, powerful principles:
Every child matters
Joy and curiosity are central to learning
Play, creativity, and real-world thinking are as important as academic success
Teachers are deeply respected and highly trained professionals
Rather than focusing purely on testing and standardised results, the Finnish model nurtures the whole child. At Finnway, we take this philosophy and adapt it for our international setting, creating a safe, inclusive environment where students are empowered to think independently, explore deeply, and develop confidence in who they are and how they learn.
Why Choose Finnway International School in Phuket?
At Finnway, we don’t just talk about student wellbeing — we live it every day. Our mission is to nurture confident, curious, and capable learners, ready to thrive in an ever-changing world.
Our Open Day gave prospective families a first-hand look at:
- Our child-centred approach and personalised learning paths
- Engaging, interactive classrooms where students lead their own learning journey
- A strong sense of community, where teachers, students, and parents work together
- A beautiful campus designed to inspire movement, creativity, and collaboration
We were especially proud to have two of our brilliant students, Libby and Nina, give speeches during the event. Both spoke with such clarity and heart about their own experiences at Finnway — a true testament to the confidence and maturity our students develop. A massive well done to both of them!
We also extend our sincere thanks to K. Micky, our Head of the PTA, who shared a heartfelt reflection on what it’s like to be a Finnway parent. Her words gave visitors an honest and meaningful glimpse into the school community and what makes it so unique.
And of course, we couldn’t have done it without the incredible support of our teachers, staff, and existing parents — thank you all for helping make the day such a success.
