Finnway International School Phuket

Our journey from Rainbow Trout Creativity, The Harbour School to Finnway International School Phuket. We ended our academic year at Rainbow Trout International Kindergarten on the 7th of July 2022! The school has come a long way since we opened our doors in April 2018, and it's been an incredible journey so far. We have seen the benefits of our Finnish early education and care curriculum and how our students have developed emotionally, socially and cognitively along with their 21st-century skills. With this in mind, we would like to see them continue their growth trajectory with us and will expand our International Finnish curriculum to include G1 to G6. This exciting development has prompted us to re-brand our school name. We want to clearly communicate that we are an accredited Finnish International Curriculum school in Phuket and are the first of its kind in Thailand. Our new name will be Finnway International School Phuket, but we will never lose our Rainbow Trout roots. Our new logo incorporates many elements from these roots and tells our story. The need for more space, security and regulatory requirements prompted us to secure the new campus. The Health and safety of every single child is always our first priority going to extraordinary lengths to ensure that the design and function of our brand-new facility is safe for even the youngest or most adventurous of students. The new campus will provide the school with a "Finnish-style" building and outdoor play area, custom-designed to suit the needs of our students and our local community.
