HeadStart International School Phuket.
HeadStart operates two campuses serving opposite ends of Phuket: a northern campus in Cherngtalay and a southern campus in Chalong near the roundabout. Both follow the British National Curriculum through to IGCSE and A-Level, which gives the school unusual geographic reach across the island. Founded in 2007, it has built a solid mid-tier reputation as an accessible British school without the premium price point of BIS or UWC.
Why HeadStart International matters for buyers.
Mario notes that the dual-campus structure makes HeadStart relevant to buyers considering both the north-west corridor and the south. Families who want a British curriculum but are open to Rawai or Nai Harn on the southern coast look seriously at the Chalong campus, which is otherwise underserved by international options. Mario tracks the Chalong campus as a quiet driver of demand for properties in Rawai and Nai Harn that most north-focused brokers overlook.

School first, property second.
Almost every family I work with chooses the school before they choose the home. HeadStart International is one of the schools that materially shapes the property decision in Phuket. Walking-distance buyers pay a clear premium, and the rental market in the catchment reflects it.
If HeadStart International is on your short list, message me. I will tell you which areas give the best access, where the rental market actually sits, and which buildings are inside the realistic morning commute.
