International School of Chonburi

International School of Chonburi (ISC) is located in Banglamung, a suburban area south of Pattaya in Chonburi province, approximately 6 km from Pattaya city centre. The campus sits just off Soi 39, a side street from Sukhumvit Road, offering convenient access for families living in Pattaya, Rayong, and surrounding areas.

The neighbourhood is primarily residential, with local housing estates and small businesses nearby. While there are no direct public transit links to the school, most families use private vehicles or the school’s zone-based transport service.

ISC follows the British curriculum and is structured into two main levels: Early Years (ages 2–4) and Primary School (ages 5–11). Students progress from play-based learning in EY1–EY3 to more structured academic learning in Key Stage 1 (Years 1–2) and Key Stage 2 (Years 3–6).

International School of Chonburi (ISC) is a co-educational, non-boarding day school. It caters to both local and expatriate families, with a small school community that fosters close teacher-student relationships. English is the primary language of instruction across all year levels.

ISC offers an optional Learning Support and English as an Additional Language (EAL) programme, with a termly fee of THB 20,000. While the school clearly indicates support is available, it does not publicly detail specific staff structures, types of SEN cases supported, or whether the support covers mild to moderate learning differences.

The school follows the British National Curriculum, but it is not formally affiliated with the UK government or any official British national education authority.

The school does not have any religious affiliation and operates as a secular institution.

The regular school day generally runs from 08:30 AM to around 03:00 PM, with all full-day programmes following this schedule. Early Years classes may choose half-day attendance where applicable, and both morning and lunch breaks are incorporated into the daily routine. The school offers optional after‑school activity sessions (termed ASA: After‑School Activities) such as sport, drama, cooking, science and movement, available to students from Early Years 3 (EY3) upward multiple days each week

ISC offers an optional zone-based bus service operated by third-party providers. Routes cover key areas in Chonburi province, including Pattaya, Sriracha, Laem Chabang, Jomtien, and Rayong, divided into transport zones for enrolment and scheduling purposes.

ISC follows the British National Curriculum, beginning with a play-based Early Years programme (ages 2–4) focused on language, social-emotional, cognitive, and physical development through the Project Approach.

From Year 1 through Year 6 (ages 5–11), instruction shifts to a more structured format with daily literacy and numeracy, alongside foundation subjects such as History, Geography, P.E., Art & Design, Music, ICT, Drama, and Thai Studies.

Learning is cross‑curricular and inquiry-based, emphasising hands-on activities, research, discussion, and depth of understanding under teacher facilitation.

The curriculum is enriched through integration of music, art, physical education, and Thai Studies taught by specialist teachers in Primary years.

ISC does not publish a structured or named SEL curriculum on its official website. However, its Early Years and Primary approach emphasises learning through play, collaboration, and open‑ended activities that foster emotional expression, peer interaction, problem-solving, and resilience through teacher-supported reflection and exploration

While ISC offers an optional Learning Support programme for students who require additional help, the school does not publicly specify what types of additional needs it serves, or whether it operates as a specialist SEN provider.

ISC provides an optional termly EAL support service for students needing help with English. The school does not publish details regarding group structure, staff qualifications, or instructional methods for EAL.

There is no public description of dedicated mental health initiatives, counselling services, or wellbeing programmes. ISC emphasises a caring and supportive community where teacher–student relationships and respectful classroom environments contribute to emotional stability and belonging.

ISC’s website does not include a publicly accessible safeguarding or child protection policy document. No details are available online regarding assigned safeguarding staff, formal reporting processes, or compliance protocols.
