Pre- School (Tiger Cubs) 

Our preschool Tiger Cubs programme is specifically tailored for children aged 12 months to 2 years. Designed as an enriching ‘playgroup’ experience our toddlers and babies can thrive in an environment created to foster growth and discovery. Our classes serve as a vital bridge in transitioning from home to school, and supports entry into our mainstream toddler programme.

A variety of activities develop children’s natural curiosity to learn more and to flourish in a safe and nurturing environment. At SBS Bangkok Preschool, we passionately embrace the basic right of all children – to play! 

Our Tiger Cubs programme focuses on the development of the HEAD; HEART and HANDS in a structured learning environment.

Early Years Foundation Experience

Imagine a vibrant, child-centred classroom where learning is a natural extension of play. This is what a truly sophisticated Early Years learning experience looks like at SBS Bangkok. Each child’s unique interests and learning styles are carefully considered. Teachers tailor activities and resources to meet individual needs, fostering a sense of curiosity and agency.

Learning happens in immersive environments designed to stimulate the senses and spark imagination. Natural materials, diverse textures, and open-ended play areas encourage exploration and creativity. Most learning happens through inquiry where children are encouraged to ask questions, experiment, and discover answers. Teachers guide their investigations, providing support and resources while fostering a love of learning. Concepts are integrated to create a holistic and meaningful educational experience. 

Regular outdoor experiences provide opportunities for physical activity, sensory exploration, and connection with nature. Emphasis is placed on building strong social and emotional skills. Children learn to collaborate, communicate effectively, and develop empathy for others.

In such a sophisticated early years learning experience, children feel safe, supported, and inspired to learn. They develop a strong foundation for lifelong learning and a love for discovery.

The Primary School area of our campus is designed to engage the curiosity and adventure of our younger minds. The learning environment is free-flowing with specialist classrooms and facilities enhancing opportunities for inquiry based learning and deeper exploration – an educational wonderland!

Secondary School

At Secondary level, we believe in fostering a challenging and supportive learning environment that ignites intellectual curiosity and prepares students for success. Our philosophy centres on personalised learning, offering a variety of rigorous academic programmes alongside opportunities for students to explore their passions and interests.

Modern facilities, including a medical science centre, innovation hub and collaborative learning spaces, provide the tools to excel. Beyond academics, we cultivate a vibrant co-curricular programme that encourages teamwork, creativity, and leadership. This holistic approach ensures our students graduate as well-rounded individuals, ready to thrive at university and beyond.

Our learning programme provides a holistic learning experience so that students become well-rounded individuals whose intellectual capacity and social and emotional growth is nurtured hand in hand. However, specialist learning pathways also offer an opportunity to focus on students’ individual strengths and interests and allow them to delve deeper into specific subjects or fields, fostering a passion for learning and providing a strong foundation and competitive advantage to embark on future careers.

 

Facilities

Our school has state of the art facilities and resources which enable our students to reach the highest standard of academia. With a commitment to sustainability, community wellbeing and cutting edge educational design, our brand new campus sits on a 9-rai plot spanning 15,000 square meters. Our school architects, GreenDwell,  prioritise three key principles: wellbeing, adaptability, and sustainability and have received gold standard awards from the Association of Siamese Architects (ASA).

Our learning spaces have ample daylight and views of greenery. Outdoor multi-functional courtyards with biophilic design and distinct characteristics are integrated between buildings to facilitate various student activities while fostering connection with nature. Learning spaces are adaptable to different teaching methods and learning activities to support the diverse academic journey of each student. Integrated passive design strategies reduce overall energy consumption, complemented by additional rooftop solar panels to further offset energy footprint.
