Norwich International School Bangkok offers a British curriculum culminating in the Cambridge IGCSE and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. In the secondary years, Years 7–9 follow the Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) Checkpoint curriculum for core subjects, with Years 10–11 preparing for IGCSE and Years 12–13 pursuing the IB Diploma Programme. The secondary program includes a deliberate focus on Mandarin, and mindfulness is integrated across the curriculum to support academic and personal development. Thai values shape the school environment within the British framework.
Co-curricular offerings include Norwich Music Academy (NMA) and Norwich Sports Academy (NSA). The Diploma Programme provides Arts as a Group 6 option (Art & Design or Music), supporting creative development alongside academics.
Mandarin Chinese is a designated language in the IGCSE program, and Thai is taught as a First Language in the IB Diploma Programme. A deliberate Mandarin focus is integrated into the secondary curriculum, alongside Thai values that shape the school's cultural environment.
Extracurricular activities are available through After School Activities (ASAs), Education Outside the Classroom, and Playgroup. Mindfulness is integrated into the curriculum with a weekly Mindfulness of Norwich focus and ongoing opportunities across the school week.
Mindfulness is embedded in the Norwich curriculum, with one Mindfulness of Norwich lesson each week taught in English by homeroom teachers, and ongoing practices throughout the week to support well-being. The program emphasizes kindness, gratitude, consciousness, wisdom, and happiness as core outcomes, with Thai teachers leading Thai manners and cultural expectations to reinforce well-being.
