School Specific Curriculum

Some international schools in Thailand follow a School-Specific Curriculum that is designed internally to reflect the school’s educational philosophy, values, and learning objectives. These curriculums often combine the best elements of international education frameworks with locally adapted content to create a balanced and innovative approach to learning. They may draw inspiration from established systems such as the British, American, or IB curricula while incorporating unique teaching methodologies, project-based learning, or experiential education.

A School-Specific Curriculum allows flexibility in how subjects are taught and assessed, often emphasizing creativity, global citizenship, and personal development alongside academic achievement. It is particularly suited to schools that wish to maintain autonomy over their learning model while ensuring students are well prepared for higher education worldwide.
