SBS International School Bangkok

SBS International School Bangkok integrates social and emotional learning directly into its wider curriculum to develop skills such as empathy, communication, and resilience. In the Primary School, students focus on foundational habits like identifying emotions and building positive peer relationships. Lower Secondary students learn self-management skills, including conflict resolution and coping mechanisms. In the Upper Secondary years, the curriculum advances to stress management, mental health literacy, and healthy decision-making. The school also promotes community service and volunteering to help students build practical empathy and an understanding of diverse global perspectives

The school provides dedicated Learning Support services for children identified with Additional Educational Needs (AEN) within a mainstream educational setting. While it does not identify as a specialist SEN institution, the school offers structured support tiers ranging from one to three weekly sessions, up to more intensive Shadow Teaching Assistance.

SBS International School Bangkok actively supports English Language Learners through specific academic provisions. For students in Years 4 to 8 who require significant language assistance, the school provides a dedicated Intensive English Course (IEC). This program offers focused language instruction designed to accelerate English acquisition. The ultimate goal of the IEC is to equip students with the linguistic proficiency necessary to successfully and confidently transition into mainstream classrooms.

Mental wellbeing is supported both through the taught curriculum and through dedicated pastoral care services. All staff members are trained to act as trusted adults, ensuring students have reliable figures to lean on for support. The school provides comprehensive onsite counselling services for children requiring individual guidance. Furthermore, topics like mental health literacy, anxiety awareness, and stress management are explicitly taught during the secondary school stages.

The school applies safeguarding as an umbrella term that covers physical health and safety, digital safety, and comprehensive child protection. The school's policies are strictly aligned with the Thai Child Protection Act, the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, and UK Department for Education guidelines such as 'Keeping Children Safe in Education'. A formal Child Protection Policy is reviewed annually, and the school expects all staff, parents, and visitors to observe these commitments. Any child protection concerns are managed directly by the Head of School or the school's Designated Safeguarding Leads, which include the School Director and the Primary and Secondary Principals.
