British Columbia International School - Bangkok

At BCISB we empower every student to become critical, creative, collaborative leaders for worldwide communities. British Columbia’s curriculum is being redesigned to respond to the demanding world our students are entering. Transformation in curriculum will help teachers create learning environments that are both engaging and personalized for students. At the heart of British Columbia’s redesigned curriculum are core competencies.Core competencies are sets of intellectual, personal, and social and emotional proficiencies that all students need to develop in order to engage in deep learning and life-long learning.

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to British Columbia International School Bangkok. As the only International School offering the prestigious British Columbian curriculum in Thailand, BCISB is in a league of its own. BCISB launched successfully in Thailand on September 3rd, 2007. We are a small sized Canadian international school offering students the curriculum from the province of British Columbia. We are part of a group of 40 British Columbia Offshore schools worldwide located in China, Columbia, France, Japan, Qatar, and the UAE. Located near the up and coming business district of Bang Wa, we are easily reachable by the BTS on the Silom Line and the MRT Blue Line Extension.

Our goal is to immerse your children in a safe, English speaking environment where they may grow as individuals, explore their unique interests and learn to be self-sufficient in an increasingly competitive and global society.

At BCISB we concentrate on providing a positive, inclusive and compassionate environment. We respect and recognize individual differences and encourage our students to challenge personal limits and promote excellence. We show by example how to value positive attitudes, patience, tolerance, creativity and a strong sense of individual self-worth, grounded in the ability to work with others.

BCISB was the very first British Columbia Global Education program in Southeast Asia and we remain dedicated to upholding the high standards set forth by the B.C. Ministry of Education. We pride ourselves in not only delivering the world renowned B.C. curriculum but being a leader in curricular design and program offerings that help to facilitate high interest and engagement in all academic fields. Our learning environment is student centred. We focus on understanding how a student learns, where they are academically, socially, and emotionally and how we can aid them in further development.

We have a very committed and experienced staff of teachers with multiple specialties. All teachers go through a multi-stage process of interviews, reference checks, evaluations, and professional development to ensure the highest quality of education for our students. Each teacher is involved in the greater community, organizing various events and activities throughout the year. Whether we are learning in person or online, our teachers deliver a high quality, international education.

BCISB is a relatively small international school with small class sizes and excellent facilities to accommodate students of varying needs. Our community is very close and families are encouraged to communicate regularly with the school online or in person. The school uses special educational social media software to ensure all parents are kept up to date with all important information about their child and any events or significant occasions at BCISB.

We have recently obtained an additional accreditation from Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) which further refines our infrastructure and facilitates our growth as we strive to deliver the best educational experience possible for the students.

BCISB believes in collaboration, inquiry based learning, student centred instruction, and an unfailing devotion to meeting the needs of our students. When we are allowed to safely gather back on campus.
