Our mission rest on three pillars:

2) Expert Teachers who are knowledgable, passionate and believe that every child can excel with the right support and encouragement.

Teaching approach of the school

BISB integrates Thai Language and Culture into the Curriculum on a daily basis from PreK-12 preparing students for full fluency and a deep understanding of the Thai culture.

BISB is special and unique because it is going to marry the thoughts and ideas from Thai culture directly with our BASIS curriculum.
