At Samakee we pride ourselves on being a unique international school due to our strong sense of community in which everyone’s name is known, and children collaborate and care for one another regardless of age. The self-confidence and academic grounding that our children develop at St Andrews Samakee is the perfect platform from which to continue their educational journey into high school and beyond. We promise independent, confident learners. This is the commitment we make to our parents and we, therefore, ensure that it is lived through the dailyexperiences of their children in school.
Our school is organised into three units, the First School walkers (Little Learners) through 6 years, Middle School ages 6+ through 10 years and Upper School ages 10+ through 14 years. First and Middle children have specialist teaching in PE, Swimming, Thai, Spanish, Music, Makerspace (STEM) and Environmental Science at our onsite farm. In Upper School, Years 6-9, children are taught by specialist teachers for all subjects, with History, Geography, Design Technology, Spanish, Thai, Music, Drama, Makerspace (STEAM) and Environmental Science at our onsite farm being taught as discrete subjects.
The facilities are outstanding. They include playing fields, sports fields, covered basketball court, air-conditioned playrooms, sandpits, bike track, playhouse, purpose-built play equipment, two swimming pools, a children’s farm and various pets. Four teaching blocks provide spacious, well-equipped classrooms as well as art rooms, a Makerspace, a library and media centre, language rooms, music and practice rooms, a dance and drama studio, a science lab, a fitness room and multi-use games and sports arena.
