Phuket International Academy (PIA) Blueprint for Human Development

The Phuket International Academy (PIA) is a revolutionary sports, education, arts and wellness facility located in Phuket, Thailand. It comprises three synergistic centres: the PIA Day School, the PIA Sports, Arts and Wellness Centre and the PIA Mind Centre. They offer students, parents and those from the wider Phuket, as well as international communities, a state of the art, sustainable facility with focus on education, sports, arts and wellness. Phuket International Academy is located in an area of natural beauty among the foothills of a national park on the eastern part of Phuket, Thailand. The philosophy of Phuket International Academy is to realize the intellectual, physical, creative and spiritual possibilities of all students, members and participants of the three centres.

The Phuket International Academy Day School (PIADS) is working to achieve a three programme International Baccalaureate (IB) World School. As a leading international school in Phuket, it will draw upon distinctive Asian culture with the best from Western educational traditions, to develop inquiring, knowledgeable, and compassionate young people who know how to live with honor, cultivate true happiness, and strive to create a more peaceful and sustainable world. The Phuket International Academy Day School has high-quality facilities, teachers, trainers, staff and administration.

Phuket International Academy Sports and Leisure Club (PIASLC) is partially constructed, and will before long begin to deliver a variety of world-class sports, arts, wellness and recreational facilities and programmes for the enjoyment of students, their families, the local Phuket community and for visiting professional and amateur individual athletes and teams from around the glove. PIASLC is going to set a benchmark as a regional hub for sports, arts and wellness in Thailand and Asia, and quite possibly the world.

Phuket International Academy Mind Centre (PIAMC) is nearing completion and will shortly begin to make available training in the cultivation of cognitive and emotional balance. The Phuket International Academy Mind Centre will deliver a combination of contemporary psychology and neuroscience together with ancient Asian contemplative practices. Featuring accessibility, the PIAMC conducts retreats and seminars. Working in close interaction with the Phuket International Academy Day School and the PIA Sports and Leisure Club, the programmes offered by Phuket International Academy Mind Centre will contribute to participant’s better mental equilibrium and wellbeing. April 10th marks the launch of the PIA Mind Centre (PIAMC) with a two-day “Genuine Happiness Retreat” led by Dr. B Alan Wallace. The retreat focuses on two methods for cultivating meditative quiescence called shamatha. It teaches the practice of “mindfulness of breathing”, which is a successful technique for soothing the body and calming the mind. A second method taught is both a shamatha practice and vipashyana, “insight meditation” also referred to as “settling the mind in its natural state”.

PIA is an integrated facility hosting Phuket’s newest International School, a multi-faceted Sports and Leisure Club for elite athletes, amateur enthusiasts, artists and wellness seekers – all within the Mind Centre sanctuary that provides training in the cultivation of mental and emotional equilibrium.
