Curriculum details
Curriculum details
RBIS follows the English National Curriculum from Early Years Foundation Stage (ages 18 months–5) through to Upper Secondary (ages 16–18) with distinct Key Stages 1–5 . At Key Stage 3 (Years 7–9), students study a broad range of subjects as a foundation before moving into the pre‑IGCSE Year 9 programme . In Key Stage 4 (Years 10–11), students take Cambridge IGCSE subjects across core and elective options, including English, Maths, Sciences, Humanities, Thai (for Thai nationals), and Mandarin for non-native speakers . Post‑16 (Years 12–13, Key Stage 5), students choose between Cambridge A‑Levels, BTEC qualifications, or an RBIS High School Diploma, with support for IELTS/SAT testing if required.
These varied pathways offer both academic and vocational routes leading to university entry in Thailand and abroad.
Curriculum details
Sukhumvit 107 uses a combination of the English National Curriculum (EY to Key Stage 3) and progression into IGCSE (Years 10–11) followed by the International Baccalaureate Diploma or Career-related Programme (Years 12–13). In Early Years, the school follows UK EYFS with a play-based, child-centred approach. In Primary, students study core subjects and humanities as part of an inquiry-based model aligned to British curriculum standards.
In Secondary, Key Stage 3 (Years 7–9) continues with the British curriculum, enhanced by additional subjects including languages, arts, and technology. In Key Stage 4, students prepare for IGCSE exams, choosing from a broad range of academic and vocational subjects. For Sixth Form (Years 12–13), students pursue either the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP) or IB Career-related Programme (IBCP). Some students may also study BTEC or ASDAN courses as alternative qualifications, especially for personal development and skills-based learning.
