Founded
1991
NIVA was founded in 1991 in the Bang Kapi area, and the school's name comes directly from the founders' own children, Nicholas and Vanisara, giving it a genuinely family-founded origin story similar to Charter International School. It follows a North American curriculum with AP course offerings available in high school.
The school marked its 30th anniversary in 2021, giving it more than three decades of local operating history, a meaningful track record for a family-founded American curriculum school of its size.
As a family-founded rather than corporately owned or internationally networked school, NIVA has more independence in shaping its specific culture and priorities, similar in structure to Charter or KPIS, though with a North American rather than British curriculum focus.
Families choosing NIVA over Bangkok's larger American schools like ISB or Berkeley are typically looking for a smaller, more established family-run alternative with a genuine multi-decade history in the same Bang Kapi location.
