The school provides SEL support through its system-wide Student Support Services team. Individual and group counselling for emotional regulation, relationships, transitions, and bullying is available at the primary level. A professional development workshop on SEL was held for Bang Na staff, indicating the school actively integrates SEL principles into teaching. SEL is included in the PYP curriculum and addressed during events like the Grade 5 exhibition. These services are described as standard across all campuses, including Bang Na.
There is no SEN policy published for the Bang Na campus. However, the official school fee schedule lists “ESL / Learning Support” fees, suggesting support is available for students with learning difficulties. The nature of this support—such as whether it is delivered by specialist staff or in-class—is not specified. The school does not identify itself as a specialist SEN institution. No further details are provided regarding the types of needs accommodated.
The school does not publicly disclose information regarding EAL. The presence of an “ESL / Learning Support” line item in the fee schedule implies that some support may be offered, but there is no description of programme structure, staffing, or delivery on the website.
The Student Support Services section of the website includes counselling topics such as anxiety, grief, and friendship issues. These services are presented as part of the guidance curriculum and are offered across all campuses, including Bang Na. Staff training sessions have covered mental health awareness. However, there is no specific mental wellbeing programme or staffing model outlined for this campus.
The school publishes a Child Protection and Safeguarding Policy for the 2024–2025 academic year.

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.
