Key Stage 1 Classes (5 to 7 years old)
Curriculum
Years 1 and 2
Our curriculum is based on the National Curriculum of England and Wales. We focus on a series of achievements and objectives, around which our theme and activities are structured.
JUNIOR SCHOOL

Through these theme-based programs, we aim to develop children's self-confidence, self-esteem, language skills, social interaction, discipline, intellectual growth, questioning and logic as well as physical movements. Alongside the British Curriculum great emphasis is also placed on the Thai culture and its language.
After School extra-curricular activities are available on Mondays and Wednesdays. The cost of the After School Extra-curricular activities varies with each activity provider.
