It was an international school established in 2004 by Phillip Olson, Rachel Anderson and Roz Thompson.

Most classes were taught by teaching staff holding either a PGCE, Bachelor of Education or, latterly, TEFL and were predominantly foreign nationals.

Where necessary, children received EAL (English as an additional language) support from qualified TEFL teachers.

Samui Centre of Learning had air-conditioned classrooms, a science lab, a library and an ICT suite.
