About the school
|
Qualities and characteristics best defining the school
|
Our school provides a high quality, professional, well-resourced learning environment where each child’s talents and abilities are recognised and nurtured, and their needs supported. Our teachers are professional and caring, selected for their awareness of the needs of a broad range of children who may come from different social, cultural, religious and educational backgrounds. They are capable educators who take care with their preparation of the curriculum, use a variety of strategies for its delivery and pay close attention to the progression of each individual.
We are an inclusive school that welcomes students of all abilities. To ensure that all our children have an equality of opportunity, we have a professional Learning Support Department. This team works with class teachers to identify and support children in their learning across the school, whether they need extra help with their studies or have been identified as gifted and talented.

Teaching approach of the school
|
The curriculum draws on the best UK practices, adapted to reflect the international context of the school. Students take IGCSE examinations at the end of Year 11 and then follow the Senior Studies Programme in Years 12 and 13. Our school offers the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, alongside an alternative school-based curriculum, both of which lead to graduation and provide the opportunity to apply to prestigious universities all around the world. As part of Nord Anglia Education, the world’s leading premium schools organisation, we collaborate with the preeminent performing arts conservatory, The Juilliard School, and one of the world’s leading universities, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), to bring truly inspiring learning experiences to all of our students.

Primary School
Primary School is an important stage in your child's education. It is during these first, early years of structured learning that students learn to channel their natural inquisitiveness and enthusiasm into ongoing academic success.
We recognise that every child has different interests, strengths and needs, so we tailor our teaching to ensure each pupil gets the support and stimulation they need to thrive. By providing a supportive yet challenging learning environment, we help your child discover their interests, pursue their passions and ultimately surpass their own expectations.
High School
High school is an important time in any student's life, as they begin to think about their future academic studies and eventual careers.
Our secondary school programme provides an enriching, engaging and rigorous curriculum designed to cater for the interests and talents of all our students. It provides a solid preparation for academic challenges such as the IGCSEs and the International Baccalaureate (IB) Programme, as well as for the demands of university life. Our students leave our Bangkok high school with the skills and knowledge they'll need to thrive at whatever they choose to do.
Our Facilities
At St Andrews International School Bangkok, we have two vibrant campuses – ideally located in the central Sukhumvit district of the city – which provide the perfect environments for learning.
Your child will embrace new and exhilarating experiences in our state-of-the-art facilities, which truly bring learning to life.
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 purpose-built high school campus, design technology labs, a fitness and yoga centre, and a professional theatre reimagine how our students learn.
