A distinctly Australian Primary School in the heart of Bangkok
From Foundation to Year 6, students follow the Australian Curriculum, combining strong academic foundations with inquiry, creativity and hands-on learning. With high expectations and personalised support, students are encouraged to think deeply, grow in independence and achieve their personal best.
The Australian Curriculum at AISB
The Australian Curriculum gives students strong academic foundations while encouraging curiosity, independence and a broader view of learning.
At AISB, we combine clear expectations with inquiry-based learning, creativity and practical application, helping students build knowledge, think deeply and apply what they learn in practical real-world settings.
​​
Every learner is known, challenged and inspired to discover their potential
Every student is known as an individual, with learning designed to help them explore, discover, grow and be challenged in ways that meet their individual learning needs.​
​
Explicit Teaching
Strong foundations, taught with purpose​
​
Essential knowledge and skills are taught clearly, with a strong focus on literacy and numeracy. Teachers model new learning, practise it together with students, then gradually build independence.​
​
Inquiry & Interdisciplinary Learning
Connected learning across different subjects
​
​AISB’s Units of Learning encourage students to question, investigate and make connections across the curriculum, applying knowledge through projects, problems and hands-on experiences.
​
Personalised Challenge
The right next step for every learner​
​
​Teachers use assessment, differentiation and flexible grouping to respond to individual strengths and needs, providing support where needed and greater challenge when students are ready.
​
​Creativity, Collaboration & Future Skills
Learning to think critically, create and contribute
​
Students regularly solve problems, communicate ideas, collaborate and create. STEAM, digital technologies and specialist learning develop creativity, critical thinking and future-ready skills.
The Australian Balance
Our holistic approach to primary education
Confident Communicators
Literacy, reading and writing ​
​
From Foundation to Year 2, InitiaLit builds strong foundations in phonics, reading, spelling, vocabulary, comprehension and writing. As students progress through Primary, guided reading, writing development and regular opportunities to present ideas help them become increasingly confident readers, writers and communicators
A World Beyond The Classroom
Foreign Languages & Global Outlook
​​
​
​AISB’s diverse and international community helps students learn with and from different cultures and perspectives. Students have opportunities to study additional languages, including a third language from Year 2, while experiences beyond the classroom help broaden their understanding of the wider world.
​
​
Thinking Beyond The Answer
Mathematics and problem solving
Through our Maths Trek program, students build number sense, fluency, reasoning and problem-solving — not just the ability to reach the correct answer. Investigations, hands-on learning and mathematics challenges encourage students to explain their thinking, test different approaches and take their learning further.
Australian Values in Action
Community, Character & Global Citizenship ​
​
Australian values of fairness, egalitarianism, mateship, resilience and respect sit alongside AISB's values of Wellbeing, Respect, Integrity, Community, Personal Best and Global Outlook. The aim is not just to talk about values, but for students to practice them through everyday relationships and interactions.
Bringing Creative Ideas To Life
STEAM & Innovation Program
​
In AISB’s Innovation Centre, students explore STEAM — Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics — through designing, building, experimenting and creating. Digital technologies, robotics and interdisciplinary projects give students opportunities to turn ideas into practical solutions and learn through doing.
Learning Through Experience
Hands-On Learning and Real World Application​
​
Through excursions, residentials, practical projects, service opportunities and collaborative experiences, students apply what they are learning in real situations. These experiences help students make stronger connections between ideas, take greater responsibility for themselves and work confidently with others. Students also build independence, teamwork, resilience and develop life skills beyond school.
Wellbeing that builds resilience
At AISB, we help children build the confidence, resilience and self-awareness to navigate challenges, strengthen relationships and grow into capable, independent young people.
​
Through our BounceBack wellbeing and resilience program, students develop practical strategies for handling emotions, setbacks, friendships and everyday challenges with greater confidence and perspective.
​
​Our restorative approach reinforces this through three simple questions: Is it safe? Is it fair? Does it show that we care? These shared expectations help students reflect on their choices, understand their impact on others and take responsibility when things go wrong, building resilience, empathy, independence and stronger relationships along the way
