The Way of Life at Panyaden International School

“Rather than an education system which is geared to testing and to competition and to preparing people for a particular livelihood, the emphasis of Buddhist education is on teaching children how to learn, how to enjoy learning, and to love wisdom for its own sake. It teaches them the emotional maturity enabling them to make use of their knowledge to create a happy life for themselves and their family, and to contribute positively to the society in which they live. It in no way compromises on the work of preparing children to make a good livelihood, but it lets them see that life is deeper and richer than working in order to consume.”

Welcome to Panyaden International School, where our values based educational approach is deeply rooted in Buddhist principles. We believe that education should develop the knowledge, skills, and disposition necessary for students to become lifelong learners who understand the habits for happiness and well-being within a local and global context. Drawing inspiration from Buddhist culture and values, our school emphasises both the acquisition of knowledge and the cultivation of a way of life. We believe that by incorporating Buddhist principles into our daily practices, we can create an environment that fosters personal growth and a deep love for learning.

At Panyaden, we recognize that the journey of education is not limited to the classroom. It extends to the way we live and interact with others. We aim to develop within our students the understanding and application of practices that promote harmony, compassion, and mindfulness in their relationships and actions. By nurturing these qualities, we strive to equip our students with the tools they need to navigate the complexities of the world with wisdom and empathy.

We firmly believe that the partnership between parents, teachers, and students is crucial in achieving our educational goals. It is through a harmonious collaboration that we can create an environment conducive to learning, growth, and self-development. As a community, we share the common aspiration of being lifelong learners and becoming positive role models for one another.

We are committed to providing a holistic education that encompasses both academic excellence as well as the development of character and a deep understanding of the practices for happiness and well-being. Thank you for joining us on this transformative journey as we cultivate knowledge, skills, and a way of life that will empower our students to thrive in an ever-changing world.

With warm regards, 

The Primary School Leadership Team
