Early Years (ages 2 - 5)
S107’s Early Years Centre focuses on developing the whole child. At the heart of our beliefs is an understanding and respect for young children as unique, capable, and curious learners. Using the English Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum as our starting point, students and teachers come together each day to investigate, play, build relationships, and create shared meaning about the world around them. Our dedicated centre provides indoor and outdoor learning spaces where your child will find a home away from home with plenty of room to grow.

Primary
(ages 5 - 11)
Our Primary curriculum has been developed to incorporate the coverage and rigour of the English National Curriculum, but taught through an inquiry based approach which encourages students to apply their knowledge and make connections. Our curriculum provides children with authentic learning experiences that explore real-world problems by going beyond subject boundaries. The themes cover and incorporate meaningful links between subjects, whilst still maintaining academic rigour. Learning in primary is centred around the whole child, providing meaningful learning opportunities both inside and outside the classroom, via a wide range of academic, enrichment, extra curricular, sporting and residential activities.

Secondary
(ages 11 - 16) The secondary school at S107 offers a rich, broad and exciting curriculum aligned with the English National Curriculum using the IB framework, standards and practices. We know that one size does not fit all and we work closely with each individual and their family to personalise their curriculum pathway to ensure engagement and success.
10
St. Andrews International School Sukhumvit 107
Sixth Form
(ages 16 - 18) Here at S107, the Sixth Form experience is a holistic one where we create opportunities for students to develop and nurture their intellectual interests, whilst preparing them successfully for the world beyond school. As they enter the Sixth Form Programme, they will immediately be aware of the expectations to acquire and develop the motivation and skills required to learn independently. Students will be given regular guidance and support to manage both their study and enrichment programmes in an effective way and they will work closely with their personal tutor who will monitor academic progress and pastoral wellbeing.
