St. Andrews Samakee International School follows the British National Curriculum from early years to lower secondary. In the Early Years Foundation Stage (up to age 5), children learn through a balance of play and guided activities across core developmental areas. Key Stage 1 (ages 5–7) builds on these foundations, introducing structured learning in English, Mathematics, Science, and foundation subjects. The Middle School years (ages 7–10) continue the UK curriculum, delivered through thematic units alongside specialist teaching in subjects such as Music, PE, and Languages. In the Upper School (ages 10–14), students study a full range of discrete subjects including History, Geography, Design Technology, Spanish, Thai, Drama, and Environmental Science, aligned with Key Stages 2 and 3. The curriculum emphasises both academic subjects and practical skills, preparing students for progression into upper secondary pathways.
