Exceptional Learning Experiences
We believe that an outstanding education should be packed with unforgettable experiences and opportunities, which balance our students’ academic growth with their personal, physical, and emotional development.
Our teaching staff plan ‘experience days’ for the students to engage in their learning and feel inspired to learn more. From Victorian Day to dinosaur invasions, our students are immersed in fun, relevant and engaging learning.
Our academic calendar is packed with important events such as International Week, Book Week and Enterprise week, not to mention our traditional Thai festival celebrations for Loy Krathong and Songkran. These events spark creativity and curiosity as well as nurture strengths and passions.
We also hold weekly House Competitions which not only provide our students with opportunities to showcase their talents but also healthy competition by earning House Points for their team!
There really is something for everyone on our extra-curricular programme, too, with more than 50 activities to choose from. Sport, The Arts, Creative Crafts, Science and Technology and Fun and Games – your child will do what they love, discover new interests, and obtain lifelong transferable skills.
Your child will also go on exhilarating expeditions, taking them on adventures in Thailand and across Asia. From exploring hidden temples in Ayutthaya to trekking in Thai jungles, each trip challenges our students’ way of thinking and develops their sense of self.
