Curriculum details SBS Rangsit combines the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (IB PYP) in the early years and primary school with the Cambridge International curriculum in secondary school. Children begin with the PYP framework from age 2, which emphazises inquiry-based learning across subjects in both English and Thai. From Grade 6 onward, students transition into the Cambridge pathway, with a focus on core academic subjects as well as languages and sciences. In Grades 9–10, students prepare for the Cambridge IGCSE examinations, which are internationally recognized qualifications. For the final stage of schooling, students in Grades 11–12 follow the Cambridge AS and A Level programme, which provides access to universities worldwide. This combined structure allows students to progress seamlessly from early learning through to internationally recognized qualifications at the pre-university level.
