The British International School, Phuket (BIS), (formerly Dulwich International College) is a co-ed boarding school on the island of Phuket in Thailand, founded in September 1996. Dulwich International College was the sister school of Dulwich College in London. Dulwich College in London discontinued its partnership with the school in 2005, after disagreements about management at Dulwich International College and after an investor, former Thai government minister Arthit Ourairat, desired more control over school operations.The school's name was short-lived, and the college's name was ultimately changed to British International School Phuket.
