  • What curricula will my child follow?

    Our students follow globally respected curriculum pathways that support them from the early years through to graduation.

    Our early years children learn in an average class size of 15, with a teacher/teaching assistant to student ratio of 1:6. At primary and secondary, our average class size is 20.
  • Do you offer students additional support?
    We run a successful English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme for students who need extra help with their English speaking, writing, and comprehension. We also offer a Learning Support programme for students who need supplementary academic, behavioural, or social development support.
  • What languages do you teach?

    We encourage our students to learn new languages and experience different cultures.

    At all ages, we teach English, Thai, French, German,  Spanish, Mandarin, Japanese, and Korean as well as Hebrew (until Year 9). Native language speakers are taught certain subjects in their mother tongue.

    Our extra-curricular programme includes a range of linguistic and cultural activities for Mandarin, Thai, Japanese and Korean.

  • What qualifications do your teachers have?

    To deliver our personalised learning approach, we only recruit the world’s most outstanding teachers.

    Our brilliant educators are highly qualified with a wealth of international experience. They never stop learning, either, supported by accreditation from world-leading training organisations and Nord Anglia University.

  • What nationalities are represented at your school?
    We’re home to children, families, and staff from more than 70 countries.
  • What extra-curricular activities do you offer?

    We offer an exciting range of academic, creative, sporting, and community experiences – more than any other school in Bangkok – that will nurture your child’s strengths, spark passions, and feed their curiosity beyond the classroom.

    These include an extraordinary breadth of after-school clubs and activities. Our STEAM clubs include Lego robotics, drone operation, and Minecraft, while sports range from the traditional (football, basketball, athletics, and more) to something a little bit different (parkour, synchronised swimming, and Zendokai karate, for example). Creative clubs include sculpting, magic, shadow play, and watercolour painting, as well as ballet, hip-hop dance, and Thai singing.

  • What facilities does the school have?

    We have two campuses – ideally located in the central Sukhumvit district of the city – which have purpose-built facilities that enrich learning.

    Our younger children play, discover, and imagine on our secure primary campus, which is a peaceful oasis – with green gardens, colourful playgrounds, and colonial-style buildings – in the heart of Bangkok. And on our high school campus, design technology labs, a fitness and yoga centre, and a professional theatre reimagine how our students learn.
