Curriculum details
Curriculum details
SISB offers an international curriculum from early years through secondary education. The school begins with the UK’s Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) in Nursery and Kindergarten, emphasising learning through play and holistic development. In Primary School, SISB follows the Singapore Curriculum particularly for English, Maths, and Science and prepares students for the iPSLE, which it is authorised to administer. At the secondary level, students transition into the Cambridge Lower Secondary Curriculum in Grades 7–8, followed by the IGCSE programme in Grades 9–10. For senior students (Grades 11–12), SISB offers a dual pathway: the Cambridge International AS & A Levels or the IB Diploma Programme (IBDP). The school also maintains a strong trilingual approach with instruction in English as the main language, alongside Chinese (Mandarin) and Thai.
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.
