Wells organizes regular cross‑campus professional development days, including sessions on social‑emotional learning (SEL) to support teacher training across Chonburi and other campuses. While Chonburi-specific classroom initiatives aren’t detailed, this indicates staff are trained to incorporate SEL strategies in their teaching. There is no campus-specific SEL program published on the Chonburi page.
All Wells campuses, including Chonburi, operate under a system‑wide Learning Support Policy that supports students with mild to moderate SEN through strategies such as push‑in assistance, pull‑out small-group instruction, one‑to‑one support, and learning accommodations.
The school does not publicly disclose information regarding EAL support specific to the Chonburi campus. System-wide policies include EAL arrangements for students needing additional English assistance, but no campus-level details or programmes for EAL learners at Chonburi are published.
Chonburi does not list dedicated mental health programs. However, the Child Protection Policy outlines that Wells has a Counseling Department to assess referrals, plan interventions, and support students needing emotional assistance across all campuses, including Chonburi.
Wells publishes a comprehensive Child Protection Policy (2024–25) which applies to all campuses, including Ban Bueng/Chonburi. It defines clear protocols for reporting suspected abuse or neglect, staff training, recruitment vetting, confidentiality, record-keeping, bullying prevention, and liaison with local child protection agencies. Each campus Principal and school leadership team is involved in implementing these procedures to ensure student safety.
Wells International School’s Chonburi Campus opened in August 2022 as Wells’ fifth campus in Thailand, serving students aged 2 to about 14 (nursery through Grade 8) and expanding gradually to Grade 12 by August 2024. Set on an agricultural site in Ban Bueng, Chonburi Province, the school blends a modified American curriculum with AP and IB Diploma options at upper levels and integrates Thai sustainability values through hands‑on farm learning and the “baan‑wat‑rong rien” lifestyle philosophy. Class sizes are capped around 25; current enrolment is about 150 and growing. Students are taught in English by native‑English teachers and the campus provides a bus service for local families.
