Our Middle School Mission:

International School Bangkok's Middle School is committed to:

* Challenging each student academically
* Fostering a love of learning
* Enhancing a feeling of self-worth

ISB's Middle School believes learning is a process in which each student discovers and constructs meaning from information and experience. The individual needs, background, and development level of each student serve as the starting point for all middle school learning activities. In the classroom, the teacher functions more in a guiding, supportive role than in the role of the disseminator of information. Opportunities for student choice, self-direction, and responsibility are plentiful. Students learn interpersonal skills and the importance of community; they are valued and accepted, and, in return, learn to value and accept others. Assessment is formative, and, along with appraisal by the teacher, includes self and peer evaluation. Positive feedback and encouragement are essential components of all Middle School assessment. We believe that this student-centered approach is the best way to fulfill the mission of ISB's Middle School.

High School:
The High School of International School Bangkok is dedicated to fostering students' intellectual, social, emotional, physical, and aesthetic development in order to prepare them for life in a rapidly changing world.

While we are committed to the development of the whole individual, we are primarily an academic institution. Thus, we seek to prepare students for higher education, to challenge them intellectually, to impart a core of basic knowledge and skills and to develop their abilities to think critically, to communicate effectively, and to learn independently.

Recognizing the diversity of our student body and the increasing interdependence of our world, we are committed to promoting cross-cultural understanding, global awareness, open mindedness, and tolerance of differing points of view with particular emphasis on understanding and appreciating our host-country.

ISB’s High School offers a demanding and exciting program of studies that prepares students for university entrance the world over. Fundamentally an academic institution, the High School seeks to challenge each student, stimulate thought, and instill a life-long reverence for knowledge.

The High School has a well-established International Baccalaureate (IB) and offers Advanced Placement (AP) exams, in addition to specialized courses such as CISCO Networking, 3D Modeling, Jewelry, Photography, Journalism, Art, Music, Dance, and Economics.

External indicators such as examination results and university acceptances consistently demonstrate that ISB provides a high quality education and that ISB graduates are very well prepared for the university systems of their choice.
