HHIS opened in August 2015. The school continues to flourish. We now have just over 400 students from age 2 years to 18 years old. We gained full international ISQM in 2018 through UK based inspectors. We are accredited as a Cambridge International Assessment Centre and we are proud to be recognised as an IB World School. We started teaching the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in August 2020.

Hua Hin town is developing very quickly and the development of our school goes hand in hand with the development of the wider Hua Hin community. We have a truly international student population. English is the dominant language. 

At HHIS we wish to be seen as a good employer and we take the issue of staff retention very seriously. It is important therefore at the recruitment stage, for everyone to be clear about the salary and benefits package that accompanies a teaching position at our school. Please feel free to raise questions if there are any issues that you think need further clarification.

The information below is just a brief summary of the details contained in the standard contract of employment. If there is any doubt concerning the interpretation of this summary then the contract itself is the superior point of reference.

Salary Scales

Our teachers receive a net monthly salary paid in Thai Baht. Entry to the 25 point salary scale is according to qualifications and experience and movement up the scale is made at the start of each academic year.

Settling‐in allowance

Upon arrival in Thailand, each expatriate teacher will receive a one‐off payment of 30,000 Baht to assist with the purchase of essential household items for their new home. Any costs incurred with the shipment of personal effects must be borne by the teacher and these costs can be deducted from this amount.

Repatriation allowance

Upon leaving the company’s employment each teacher will receive a repatriation allowance equal in value to the settling‐in allowance they received on arrival.

Bonus payments

Assuming satisfactory performance, all teachers will receive a two‐month salary bonus upon completion of each two‐year contractual period. This bonus payment is approximately 8% of salary and is considered to be equivalent to the UK employer’s pension contribution.

Benefits

Flights

Teachers who are employed on expatriate contracts, together with their contractual dependents, will receive annual economy fights. This includes start and end of contract flights. The school will calculate the cost of these flights by averaging economy ticket prices across 5 major carriers on May 1st each year and the cash value will be paid into the employee’s June salary. The costs of these annual flights will be calculated within 3 contractual home zones:

Heathrow for all European contractual home destinations

Sydney for all Southern Hemisphere contractual home destinations

New York for all North American contractual home destinations

Teachers will receive this payment as cash, which can be used for any purpose.

The school will pay the additional income tax attracted by this contractual benefit.

Medical Cover

The school’s medical scheme provides a good level of health insurance. Just like all such schemes there are pre‐set limits and details of these are available from the school.
