BCIS follows the British national curriculum from Early Years through to Sixth Form. In the Early Years (ages 2–5), children follow the UK EYFS framework, focusing on seven areas of development including communication, maths, and physical development. Primary students (Years 1–6) study core subjects like English, maths, and science, alongside foundation subjects such as art, PE, and computing. In Secondary (Years 7–11), students follow Key Stage 3 and then prepare for Pearson Edexcel IGCSEs and BTEC qualifications in subjects such as science, business, and travel & tourism. In Years 12–13, students take A-Level courses through Pearson Edexcel. The school also includes PSHE across all stages and offers additional ESL support where needed.
British Concordance International School (BCIS), established in August 2022 in Chiang Mai, offers education from Pre‑Nursery through Year 13 under the British curriculum framework. Courses include IGCSEs in Years 10–11, Pearson/Edexcel A‑Levels in Years 12–13, and BTEC Tech Awards as vocational pathways. With English as the sole medium of instruction, BCIS emphasises enquiry‑based learning, small class groupings, and student well‑being. Currently enrolling just over 200 students, the school is poised to expand into a new campus in 2025. Its academic programme is designed to support individual learning profiles with community values such as curiosity, creativity, and global citizenship. The school underscores a caring, inclusive culture where each child is encouraged to engage in arts, student leadership (Student Council), and personal growth initiatives. While specific details on language options beyond English are not provided, the structure aligns with UK standards for offering modern and cultural language exposure across age groups.
