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.

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.

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

Early Years Where curiosity begins and confidence grows Our Early Years program nurtures curious, confident and independent learners, building strong foundations and a lifelong love of learning from the very beginning. Early Years: About Us Australia's Early Years Learning Framework Belonging, Being, Becoming Guided by Australia’s Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF), our approach recognises that young children learn best when they feel safe, connected and confident. Through purposeful play, exploration and intentional teaching, children develop communication, early literacy and numeracy, social-emotional skills, independence and a natural curiosity for learning. Belonging Children develop a strong sense of belonging through meaningful relationships with their family, teachers, friends, community, culture and the world around them. Being Childhood is a special time in its own right. Children are given time to play, explore, create, build relationships and enjoy the experience of being a child. Becoming Every experience helps children grow and develop. As they discover their strengths, build independence and develop their identity, they gain the confidence and foundations for what comes next. Early Years: About Us How young students learn at AISB We believe young children learn best when they feel safe, connected and curious, with the freedom to explore and skilled teachers who know when to guide, challenge and inspire. Play with purpose Play gives children opportunities to imagine, investigate, experiment, solve problems and make connections. Our teachers observe and participate in play to intentionally extend learning. Curiosity leads the way Children's questions, interests and ideas become opportunities for exploration, inquiry and discovery. Teachers guide & challenge Teachers model, question, explain, scaffold and introduce new ideas to help children take their thinking further. Every child is known Our teachers understand each child's strengths, interests and development, adapting experiences to provide the right support or challenge. Early Years: About Us Strong foundations from the beginning At AISB Early Years, purposeful play is combined with intentional teaching to build strong foundations in language and literacy, early mathematics, and social-emotional development. Learning becomes increasingly structured as children grow, while remaining playful, hands-on and responsive to each individual child. Early Language & Literacy Building confident communicators Language develops through conversations, stories, songs, rhymes and shared reading. In Pre-K2, AISB uses PreLit to strengthen oral language and phonological awareness, building important foundations for reading and writing before children progress to Foundation. Early Mathematics Developing Mathematical Thinkers Children explore numbers, patterns, shapes, measurement and space through play and hands-on experiences. Mathematics is woven into everyday learning, developing number sense, mathematical language and the confidence to investigate ideas and solve problems . Social & Emotional Learning Understanding Emotions & Building Connections At AISB, social-emotional development is an important part of learning. Children learn to recognise and express emotions, build positive relationships, communicate with others and develop independence. Our Kimochis wellbeing program gives young children practical language and strategies for emotions, relationships, communication and problem-solving. Early Years: About Us Nursery, Pre-K1 and Pre-K2 AISB Early Years Journey From their first experiences of school to preparing for Foundation, our Early Years program grows alongside each child. Learning remains playful, nurturing and developmentally appropriate, while gradually building communication, independence, confidence and strong foundations for future learning. Nursery Belonging begins here For our youngest learners, feeling safe, secure and connected comes first. Teachers build trusting relationships and predictable routines, giving children the confidence to gradually explore, communicate and participate in their new environment. Through play, everyday routines and interactions, children begin developing language, social skills, movement, independence and a growing sense of self. Pre-K1 Growing confidence and curiosity As children become more confident and independent, their world of learning expands. Through child-led play, guided experiences and intentional teaching, children are encouraged to communicate, collaborate, investigate and solve problems. Teachers follow children's interests while intentionally introducing new language, ideas and challenges — nurturing curiosity, creativity, relationships and increasingly independent learning. Pre-K2 Building strong foundations for what comes next In Pre-K2, play and inquiry remain central while learning becomes increasingly intentional and structured. Children strengthen oral language, early literacy and mathematical thinking while continuing to develop confidence, independence and social-emotional skills. PreLit introduces a structured approach to oral language and phonological awareness, helping build the foundations children need before progressing to more explicit literacy instruction in Foundation.

Student Support Services At AISB, academic achievement is balanced by the school’s emphasis on personal growth and socio-emotional development. Students are challenged and encouraged to discover their individual interests and abilities by teachers committed to developing their students as well-rounded individuals who are confident, creative and collaborative members of the school community. Student Support Services: About Us EAL Program - English as an additional language There is a full time EAL teacher on each campus. These teachers assess the language learning needs of all students for whom English is not their native language; they develop appropriate curriculum aligned programs to assist non- English speakers; they work closely with the Homeroom teachers and the families and when students reach and independent level of communication in English, they graduate from the program. The Language & Literacy levels have a strong focus to begin on the development of ‘spoken-language’. As students acquire more skills, the focus shifts to the development of more ‘written-like’ language. General English: 3 times a week Intensive English: 5 times a week The duration of our EAL program is 45 minutes per class with a maximum of 6 students in each class. Learning Support The learning support department was created for cases where a child may need additional support to reach their full potential. The aim of the Learning Support Department at AISB is to ensure that these student’s are provided with the appropriate environment and tools that they need to access the curriculum and continue growing in their learning. Our guiding principles include: respecting confidentiality, focussing on strengths to overcome weaknesses and nurturing students as individuals. The Learning Support Department functions by: Providing targeted 1-1, small group, and in-class support Creating Individual Learning Plans that outline the learning strategies and learning goals Communicating with parents, administration, teachers, and students to ensure that the learning plan is implemented and updated Supporting teachers with differentiation strategies, implementing accommodations, and providing resources Providing referrals for external assessments as needed Access and Inclusion Program Our Access and Inclusion program helps students with identified learning disorders as well as students who are seen as needing extension in their academic work As students progress through academic year groups, learning becomes more complex and some students may show that they need intervention and support for identified Learning Support needs. These needs can manifest in many ways, such as dyslexia, for example or other identifiable learning disorders which cause issues for the student’s learning progress. The school's Access and Inclusion teacher provides help to the teachers of the student and to the student, in some cases psycho-social assessments are conducted by outside specialist services who can provide therapy in various areas of special need, such as Speech therapy and Occupational therapy. In every case, the outside providers work with the school’s Access and Inclusion teacher, the Homeroom teacher and the parents in a collaborative way. Student Support Services: Activities

Australian curriculum in Years 7–8. Cambridge IGCSE and A Levels. Personalised university guidance and preparation. Secondary School: Image Secondary School at Australian International School Bangkok Australian breadth. Cambridge depth. Secondary at the Australian International School Bangkok offers programs for students in Year 7 to Year 12 at our Sukhumvit Soi 31 campus. Students build broad foundations through an Australian-style education in Years 7 and 8, then move into internationally recognised Cambridge IGCSE and A Level qualifications that open doors to global and local universities. As a boutique school, every Secondary student is known individually by their teachers, leaders and pastoral staff. Smaller classes mean teachers notice early when a student needs extra support or more challenge, and every student has a real chance to lead, perform and make a team. Secondary School: About Us Secondary School: About Us Curriculum and Approach AISB offers a distinctive Australian to British Cambridge pathway. Years 7 and 8 combine the Australian Curriculum with selected Cambridge components, giving students the breadth to discover their strengths before they specialise. S tudents then study Cambridge IGCSE in Years 9 and 10 and Cambridge AS and A Levels in Years 11 and 12. Along the way, learning goes beyond exam preparation. Cambridge Global Perspectives, STEAM, robotics, AI literacy and entrepreneurship build critical thinking and real-world problem-solving. Teachers track each student's progress closely, stretching those ready for more and providing targeted support, including English as an Additional Language (EAL), for those who need it. Enquire Now Exceptional Results In 2026, AISB students achieved: • 99.6% overall IGCSE pass rate • 40% of IGCSE grades at A*–A • 86% of IGCSE grades at A*–C University guidance starts long before applications. Teachers and university counsellors help each student connect their strengths and goals to subject choices, courses and careers, with individual support through every step of the application process. Our focus is on every student reaching their own first-choice university. Recent AISB graduates have progressed to the University of Glasgow, the University of Brighton, UWE Bristol, Thammasat University and Mahidol University. Why Secondary at AISB? Academic Ambition AISB's Secondary pathway is purposefully designed to build year on year: an Australian–Cambridge foundation in Years 7 and 8, Cambridge IGCSE in Years 9 and 10, and Cambridge AS and A Levels in Years 11 and 12. Cambridge Global Perspectives, taught from Year 9 to Year 11, develops the research, reasoning and evaluation skills universities value. Our teachers are qualified and registered in countries such as Australia, the UK and New Zealand, and in 2026 our students achieved a 99.6% overall IGCSE pass rate. Personalised Progress At AISB, teachers look beyond grades. Each student's progress is tracked using baseline data, assessments, teacher observations, attendance and pastoral information, so teachers can see the whole picture. Students ready for more are stretched through depth, complexity and independent learning, while a tiered model of support provides small-group or individual help where it is needed. EAL support is built into mainstream lessons, and every key transition, into Year 7, into IGCSE and into A Levels, is supported through orientation, mentoring and regular check-ins. The Australian Balance AISB gives students breadth before specialisation. Alongside their academic subjects, students build robots, learn to code, explore how artificial intelligence works and how to use it responsibly, and develop entrepreneurial ideas through design thinking. Performances, showcases, music, sport, competitions, After-School Activities, excursions and field trips keep students curious and well-rounded as their studies become more focused. A Place to Belong AISB's boutique Secondary means every student is known by their teachers, leaders and pastoral staff. Opportunities are not reserved for a select few: more students make a team, take a lead role on stage or hold a leadership position through the Student Council, the House System and the Eco School programme. With classmates from 58 nationalities, students tell us they feel known, safe and welcomed, and families stay closely connected with teachers throughout the Secondary years. Empowered for Life Positive Education is built into AISB's daily timetable, with teacher-led sessions on resilience, goal setting, positive psychology, respectful relationships and online safety. In Years 7 and 8, the Komodo wellbeing platform helps staff notice when a student may need a check-in. Students also practise the life skills that set them apart at university and work, including peer mentoring, negotiation, presenting and professional communication. Secondary School: About Us Curriculum Year 7 & 8 Australian Curriculum & Cambridge Lower Secondary Years 7 and 8 follow AISB's own purposefully designed curriculum, combining the breadth and flexibility of the Australian Curriculum with selected Cambridge components. Students study a wide range of subjects, including STEAM, robotics, digital technologies and inquiry projects, so they can discover their strengths before choosing IGCSE subjects. These years are about building the habits of a successful Secondary learner: independence, organisation, critical thinking and confidence working with several specialist teachers. Students joining from AISB Primary arrive already known, with a detailed handover of their learning and support needs, and many have met Secondary teachers and students through experience days and Writers' Workshops led by Year 8 students. New students are welcomed through orientation, mentoring and regular check-ins, and the Komodo wellbeing platform helps staff notice early if anyone needs extra support. Year 9 & 10 Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) In Year 9, students begin the Cambridge IGCSE, the world's most popular international qualification for 14 to 16 year olds, recognised by universities and employers worldwide. IGCSE is a two-year course, with external exams at the end of Year 10. Depending on the subject, assessment can include written exams, oral, coursework and practical components, giving students different ways to show what they know. Many subjects offer Core and Extended options, so each student can be entered at the level that suits them best, with teachers and families deciding together. Cambridge Global Perspectives runs alongside students' IGCSE subjects, developing research, collaboration and the ability to evaluate different viewpoints. Students receive guidance on subject choices, regular feedback on their progress, and targeted support or extension where needed. Year 11 & 12 Cambridge AS & A-Levels In Years 11 and 12, students study Cambridge International AS and A Levels, one of the most widely recognised university entrance qualifications in the world. Students focus on the subjects that matter most for their chosen university course, studying each in real depth. Lessons shift towards independent research, extended writing, analysis and problem-solving, and students take greater ownership of their study and time management, the skills universities expect from day one. Cambridge Global Perspectives continues into Year 11. The move from IGCSE to A Levels is a significant step, so AISB gives it focused attention: careful subject guidance before students choose, and close monitoring and check-ins in the first months of Year 11. Small classes mean teachers know exactly where each student is and adjust challenge and support accordingly. Senior students also take on leadership roles across the school and continue Positive Education, and they graduate at the end of Year 12 with internationally recognised qualifications. University Preparation A Unique Opportunity to Prepare for University At AISB, university preparation starts well before Year 12. From the first IGCSE subject choices, teachers help students understand their strengths, interests and aspirations, and how these connect to A Level subjects, university courses and careers. Career fairs and personalised counselling let students explore different professions and possibilities before they have to make big decisions. Because AISB is a boutique school, guidance is genuinely individual: teachers, advisors and university counsellors know each student well, rather than working through a one-size-fits-all process. In Years 11 and 12, students receive one-to-one support researching universities in different countries, understanding entry requirements, choosing courses and preparing strong applications. Leadership through the Student Council, the House System and the Eco School programme, along with performances, competitions and entrepreneurship projects, gives students real experiences to draw on in their applications. Our focus is on every student reaching their own first-choice university, and recent AISB graduates have progressed to the University of Glasgow, the University of Brighton, UWE Bristol, Thammasat University and Mahidol University. Beyond The Classroom Sports, Music, Drama & Performances At AISB, what happens outside lessons matters as much as what happens in them. Secondary students compete in sport, perform in music and drama, and present their work at showcases and school events throughout the year. A varied After-School Activities programme lets students follow existing passions and try something new. As a boutique school, these opportunities are open to everyone: more students make a team, take a lead role on stage and represent the school in competitions, building confidence, teamwork and the commitment that comes from working towards a shared goal. Health & Wellbeing Student wellbeing sits at the heart of AISB Secondary. Positive Education is part of the daily timetable, giving students regular, teacher-led time to explore resilience, goal setting, positive psychology, respectful relationships and staying safe online, supported by approaches such as mindfulness and optimism. Physical wellbeing is developed through PE, sport and an active school life. In Years 7 and 8, the Komodo wellbeing platform helps staff notice early when a student may need a check-in, and because our community is small, teachers and pastoral staff know students well and work closely with families to provide timely, personal support. Residential Trips & Real-World Learning Every year, students in Years 7, 8 and 9 head off on three-day residential camps across Thailand. Recent camps have taken Year 7 to Ratchaburi to explore caves, hike and visit waterfalls, Year 8 to Khao Yai, and Year 9 to Rayong for kayaking and coastal exploration. Learning also extends into real-world competition: AISB students have won Best Position Paper awards at Model United Nations conferences, including Best Overall Position Paper across an entire conference hosted by King Mongkut's International Demonstration School, and have competed in robotics challenges, the World Mathematics Championship and the International Biology Competition, where an AISB student was named 2024 World Champion.
