Wells International School’s Bang Na Campus, opened in 2011, serves children aged 2 to 10 years (Nursery through Grade 5). Licensed by Thailand’s Ministry of Education, the campus delivers an American curriculum, enriched by the IB Primary Years Programme (PYP) framework designed to cultivate inquiry-based learning and international-mindedness. The school is set on a leafy site just off Srinakarin 62, a short drive from Paradise Park and Seacon Square yet offering a relaxed, green atmosphere. Classes are deliberately kept small (about 16 students per classroom) to allow hands-on, child‑centred learning. Facilities include a library, computer lab, music & dance studios, swimming pool and parent lounge. The school places emphasis on creative arts, sport, and community service (students have engaged in water-treatment projects through their Grade 5 exhibition). Daily instruction is in English, with exposure to Thai language and cultural content. A Z‑zone bus service is available and tuition fees range from 112,000 to 132,500 THB per semester. Parents play an active role via a regular parent‑teacher organisation that plans family events and activities.
