St Andrews International School Bangkok

St Andrews International School Bangkok is a lively, forward-thinking school in the heart of Bangkok, with over 2400 students from Early Years to Year 13 across two dynamic campuses for Primary School and High School. We embrace diversity and innovation, offering a nurturing community for students, staff, and families where everyone is encouraged to excel.

Our Vision

• Happy children who can then be expected to work hard and have very high expectations of themselves.
• Bangkok’s largest international school community, where individual students and parents are known, and we show respect for Thai culture through the way we conduct ourselves.
• Our curriculum broadly follows the English National Curriculum with an inclusive, international perspective. High School students study IGCSEs in Key Stage 4 and have a wide choice of Senior Studies pathways, including the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP), IB Career‑related Programme (IBCP), International BTECs, or bespoke combinations.
• Embracing innovation, we integrate emerging technologies, such as AI, into safe, academically honest learning, ensuring that both students and staff are equipped with personal devices and the tools needed for digital success.
• Our passionate, qualified international teachers design a curriculum that celebrates each child’s uniqueness, combining high standards with tailored support to inspire every learner to achieve their full potential.
• Our graduating students achieve some of the best IB results across Bangkok, with an average of 10% of our graduating classes scoring 40 or higher in IBDP and, in some cases, a perfect IBDP score of 45/45.
• Recognised as a Centre of Excellence by the Inclusion Quality Mark and awarded International Provision of the Year at the 2024 NASEN Awards, we proudly nurture happiness, confidence, and ambition through an inclusive, multi‑sensory environment where academic, creative, and physical pursuits are equally valued.
• A school administration that operates along international standards and regards itself as an essential part of the school community.

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 equal opportunities, 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, the International Baccalaureate Career-related Programme, and BTEC, alongside an alternative school-based curriculum, all of which lead to graduation and provide the opportunity to apply to prestigious universities and companies worldwide.

Primary School

At St Andrews, we understand that the first years of school are some of the most important in a child’s education. In our Primary School, children begin to channel their natural curiosity into meaningful learning, supported by teachers who tailor their approach to each child’s interests, strengths, and needs. For our youngest learners, ages 2–5 (FS1 to FS3), we provide a nurturing environment that feels like a small school within a bigger school—safe, stimulating, and designed to help children grow in confidence.

Opening in August 2026, our new building will feature state‑of‑the‑art Foundation Stage facilities, purpose‑built for Early Years education. Bright, spacious classrooms will connect to outdoor learning areas designed for exploration, play, and discovery, giving children the very best foundation for their learning journey. With experienced educators, a curriculum rooted in play, and a strong focus on wellbeing, we help every child feel valued, inspired, and ready to thrive.

High School

High School is a pivotal stage in every student’s journey, as they begin to explore future academic pathways and career aspirations. At St Andrews, our dedicated High School campus is purpose‑built for older students, with classrooms and learning environments designed to foster independence, self‑motivation, and confidence.

Our secondary programme offers a rigorous and engaging curriculum that prepares students for IGCSEs, the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme, and the demands of university life. Graduates leave our Bangkok high school not only with outstanding academic results but also with the skills, knowledge, and independence they need to thrive in whatever path they choose.

Our Facilities

We are proud to have two vibrant campuses, ideally located in the central Sukhumvit district, providing the perfect environments for learning. Your child will embrace new and exciting experiences in our state‑of‑the‑art facilities, which truly bring learning to life.

Our Primary School is a peaceful oasis in the heart of Bangkok, where younger children play, discover, and imagine among green gardens, colourful playgrounds, and charming colonial‑style buildings. Our purpose‑built High School is designed for older students, with classrooms and learning environments that foster independent learning, alongside exceptional facilities such as STEAM and design technology labs, drama and dance studios, a fitness and yoga centre, and a professional theatre that reimagine how students learn and grow.
