Raintree International School Sathorn follows the British Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework throughout its Nursery, Kindergarten, and Year 1 levels. The curriculum is integrated with a Reggio Emilia-inspired approach that emphasises child-led, play-based exploration and learning through discovery. Core areas include Communication and Language, Personal and Social Development, Literacy, Mathematics, and Understanding the World, along with expressive arts and design. The school uses observation-based assessment to track each child’s development and tailor experiences to individual learning needs. Mandarin is co-taught alongside English in the classroom, and Thai language and cultural studies are also included from Kindergarten onwards.
Raintree International School Sathorn, opened in August 2017, offers early years education for children aged 1.5–6 years in central Bangkok’s leafy Sathorn district. It follows the British Early Years Foundation Stage linked with a Reggio Emilia‑inspired teaching philosophy focused on child‑led exploration within a multilingual setting. Instruction is primarily in English, with co‑taught Mandarin and Thai language and culture lessons. Nursery classes are intentionally small (12–15 children) and staffed by a teacher and multiple assistants, supporting individual observation and documentation. The campus surrounds mature trees in two inner courtyards, encouraging outdoor learning amid Bangkok’s urban core. The school is known for its nature‑integrated learning spaces, creative arts opportunities rooted in Reggio Emilia pedagogy, and strong language‑rich immersion that supports early bilingual development.
