Academics
Garden International School Bangkok teaches British Curriculum, Cambridge IGCSE, Cambridge International AS Levels, Cambridge A Levels, EYFS (Early years foundation stage) for students aged 2 to 18.
Curriculum
Garden International School Bangkok follows a British-based curriculum tailored for an international student body. In the Early Years (ages 2–5), children follow the UK’s Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. Primary students (Years 1–6) study a broad version of the English National Curriculum, including core subjects such as English, Maths, Science, Humanities, Computing, PE, Music, and Languages. In Secondary (Years 7–9), subject-specialist teaching continues across a wide range of academic and creative subjects. Students in Years 10–11 follow the Cambridge IGCSE programme and sit formal exams at the end of Year 11. Sixth Form students (Years 12–13) pursue Cambridge A Levels, typically selecting 3–4 subjects alongside optional leadership, service, and university preparation programmes.
The school emphasizes social and emotional development through Personal, Social and Health Education (PSHE) and ‘experience days’ that nurture resilience, reflection and self-awareness. Students take part in vertical group activities, student leadership roles, including Student Council and House Captains and school-wide ‘special days’ that support social cohesion. Qualified pastoral staff, including a counsellor, support this SEL framework.
Special Educational Needs (SEN)
Garden operates inclusive support under the UK’s SEND Code of Practice, assisting students across four main need categories: social–emotional and mental health, communication and interaction, sensory or physical, and cognition and learning. SEN support includes learner passports, an assess–plan–do–review cycle, in-class teaching assistant help, specialist referrals (e.g. to speech or occupational therapists), and support from an Inclusion team and counsellor. It is not a specialist SEN school, but a mainstream one offering tailored provisions
English as an Additional Language (EAL)
The school supports EAL learners via Quality First Teaching combined with specialist input, using a WIDA-based approach to assess and support language acquisition from Foundation through Year 13. Inclusive strategies include translanguaging, maintaining home language, and targeted interventions for students below WIDA proficiency level 2 or 3.
Mental Wellbeing
A dedicated school counsellor works closely with the Inclusion department to support students, especially in social–emotional and mental health areas. The school’s staff includes qualified pastoral care professionals who monitor students and coordinate wellbeing support . Counselling forms part of the broader learner support framework, adapting to individual needs via learner passports.
