| Teaching approach of the school |
Using the British curriculum as our base, we adapt this to reflect the international context in Bangkok. In this way, we provide an engaging and challenging curriculum supported by exceptional pastoral care and a wide range of extra-curricular opportunities. It is important that all children are exposed to more than just English, Maths, & Science. We offer weekly classes in Music, PE, Swimming, and Primary Languages, these are taught by specialist subject teachers. Such an all-around education enables each individual student to make excellent progress, achieve their full potential, and above all to enjoy coming to school. This ensures that where ever our students go after thier time at FSB, they will be well prepared both academically and socially for the excitement of a new challenge. |
