History
NIST opened to students in August 1992, when the former school located at the campus (The International School of Bangkok) moved to the outskirts of Bangkok. It was established by a group of individuals who felt that there was a need for a school having a truly internationally focused curriculum in Bangkok that is not tied to a specific national system.
The school is run by a non-profit organization, the Foundation for International Education (FIE). The FIE chooses a board of directors, who are elected from the body of parents. The primary task of the board of directors is to select the Head of School. The current Head of School is Simon Leslie.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“The history of every country begins in the heart of a man or a woman.”

“Throughout the history of commercial life nobody has ever quite liked the commission man. His function is too vague, his presence always seems one too many, his profit looks too easy, and even when you admit that he has a necessary function, you feel that this function is, as it were, a personification of something that in an ethical society would not need to exist. If people could deal with one another honestly, they would not need agents.”
—Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)
