About the school
Qualities and characteristics best defining the school |
We have professional caring teachers to provide guidance to children so they may grow and flourish. Early Years feels like a safe, comfortable second home, while Primary feels modern, airy and engaging. With a fantastic facility located in the heart of Bangkok – where people from all over the world come to live – provide extra English language support via our EAL team, we will help every child move forward to achieve their best. Here, all families feel welcome into our global community in a school where we know every child’s name. |
Teaching approach of the school |
Using the British curriculum as our base, we adapt this to reflect the international context in Bangkok. In this way, we provide an engaging and challenging curriculum supported by exceptional pastoral care and a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities. It is important that all children are exposed to more than just English, Maths, & Science. We offer weekly classes in Music, PE, and Primary Languages, these are taught by specialist subject teachers. Such an all-around education enables each individual student to make excellent progress, achieve their full potential, and above all to enjoy coming to school. This ensures that by the end of Year Six our students will be well prepared both academically and socially for the excitement and new challenges of senior school. |
