ISE follows an American-style curriculum grounded in AERO (American Education Reaches Out) standards from Pre‑Kindergarten through Grade 10. In Elementary School (Kindergarten–Grade 5), students engage in inquiry-based learning across core subjects, with additional instruction in visual and performing arts, physical education, world languages, and Thai culture. Middle School and Grades 9–10 continue with a broad subject base and skill development guided by AERO benchmarks. In Grades 11 and 12, students may pursue Advanced Placement (AP) courses or the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP), both of which lead to a U.S. High School Diploma. The IB Learner Profile is integrated throughout all school levels to support the development of academic and personal growth.
The International School Eastern Seaboard (ISE) in Chonburi, Thailand, welcomes students aged 2 through Grade 12 within a leafy campus set beside Burapha Golf Club, about 30 minutes from Pattaya and 20 minutes from Chonburi City. ISE delivers an American curriculum based on AERO standards from Pre‑Kindergarten to Grade 10, and then offers Advanced Placement courses and the IB Diploma Programme in Grades 11 and 12. With class sizes kept small (below an 8:1 student‑teacher ratio), students receive individualized attention. The school teaches English as its language of instruction, and offers Thai, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and Spanish as additional languages. Beyond core subjects, the school integrates service learning through CAS, MUN, and sustainability themes tied to UN SDGs. Athletics and outdoor education make use of the golf‑club environment. The school’s Fine Arts Centre hosts visual and performing arts activities. ISE also provides ESL support to help international students meet academic standards.
