British Curriculum

The British Curriculum, also known as the National Curriculum of England, is one of the most widely adopted education systems in international schools across Thailand. It offers a structured academic pathway that builds progressively from early years to secondary levels, focusing on literacy, numeracy, and a broad range of subjects.

Students typically sit for the IGCSE examinations in Years 10 and 11, followed by A Level qualifications in Years 12 and 13. The curriculum is valued for its emphasis on analytical thinking, academic depth, and subject specialization. Graduates from British curriculum schools in Thailand are well prepared for entry into top universities in the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, and other leading destinations.
