Academics

ELC follows the Ontario Curriculum, complemented by our inquiry-led pedagogical approach known as the ‘Project’—an in-depth exploration of key concepts in contemporary topics that connect across all curricular disciplines. Purposefully designed ateliers throughout the school give children the chance to engage with and investigate these concepts in creative and meaningful ways.

If you happen to visit during one of those magical moments when a child’s cognitive growth takes a leap forward, you might witness Math pirouetting to Mozart, Art whirling with Astronomy, Physics mingling with Proust, and a room full of children from diverse cultural backgrounds engaging with Robotics as though they were the most fascinating toys in the world.

ELC’s approach nurtures each child’s growth, encouraging innovative thinking, creativity, and collaborative research skills—building a strong foundation for success in high school programmes worldwide.

Extra curricular

At ELC International Schools Bangkok, students are encouraged to explore their passions and talents beyond the classroom through a wide variety of extracurricular activities. The programmes are designed to inspire creativity, build confidence, and promote both physical and intellectual development.

Children can enjoy dynamic sports and movement activities such as Brazilian soccer, basketball, dance, and yoga, helping them to stay active while developing teamwork and discipline. For young innovators, opportunities in ERC Robotics, eDesign and 3D printing, and LEGO-based projects spark curiosity and problem-solving skills.

The arts are celebrated through instrumental music lessons in piano, drums, cello, violin, harp, guitar, ukulele, and woodwinds, allowing each child to discover the joy of musical expression.

Students can also expand their horizons by learning additional world languages, including Danish, Dutch, German, Hebrew, French, Korean, Mandarin, Spanish, Swedish, and Thai, fostering multicultural understanding and communication.

Beyond structured programmes, children benefit from ample time to play and explore in the school’s inviting outdoor spaces, featuring a basketball pitch, soccer field, climbing wall, life-size chess, library, playground equipment, slides, sand areas, swings, and more.

Together, these extracurricular opportunities create a rich, balanced experience where every child can thrive, explore new interests, and grow in confidence.
