Academics

AIT International School teaches IEYC (International Early Years Curriculum) for students aged 2.6 to 12.

Curriculum

AIT International School delivers an international curriculum grounded in the school’s own core values and educational principles, rather than adopting external frameworks such as American, British, or Cambridge programs. The Pre‑Kindergarten section (Nursery–Kindergarten) is theme‑based and focuses on the holistic development of young children, covering physical, social, emotional, and cognitive growth. The Elementary section (Grades 1–6) offers a broad range of subjects including Language Arts, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, ICT, Music, Visual Arts, Library, Thai Language, Physical Education, and Counseling for Grades 4–6.

Learning is organized into two semesters per academic year, with regular assessments and portfolio evaluations guiding student progress
Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

AITIS integrates social and emotional development throughout daily school life. The school counselor provides guidance sessions and supports students experiencing immediate or ongoing challenges that affect learning. The House System in the Elementary section promotes teamwork, healthy competition, and social interaction, while activities such as assemblies, class discussions, and project-based learning foster cooperation and responsibility. Parent‑Teacher Conferences and the Friday Folder / Weekly Notes system also encourage communication between home and school, supporting students’ social and emotional growth.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

AITIS provides support for students with mild learning difficulties through its Special Education and Support Learning Program, which can offer up to four lessons per week. Students are admitted based on previous records, assessments, and the ability to follow the regular curriculum with limited assistance. The school can support students with mild learning challenges but cannot accommodate students with low cognitive functioning, significant physical disabilities, conduct disorders, or combined learning and language limitations. It is not a specialist SEN institution and does not provide modified grades, alternative diplomas, or physical/occupational therapy.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

AITIS provides English support through its ESL (English as a Second Language) program, which places students in beginner, intermediate, or advanced levels based on an initial English assessment. Support may include one‑on‑one pull‑out sessions or in‑class assistance, and students can exit the program after demonstrating sufficient progress. This program is designed for students who are new to English but capable of following the regular curriculum with support.

Mental Wellbeing

The school’s counselor offers individual guidance and responds to students experiencing stress, emotional challenges, or crises during the school year. AITIS also organizes team‑building and character development activities, including a Grade 6 character‑building camp and transition programs, to support positive mental health and confidence building. The handbook specifies that parents and teachers can request counseling sessions for students as needed.

Safeguarding

AITIS implements child safety and protection measures through staff supervision, emergency procedures, and clear conduct rules. Fire and evacuation drills are conducted regularly, and crisis and emergency plans are reviewed annually. The school maintains strict student supervision hours and discourages early arrival or late stays without enrollment in supervised programs. The disciplinary policy and clear reporting procedures ensure that student safety and wellbeing remain a priority.
Parent Experience

History

AIT International School was founded in 1974 within the academic framework of the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) by special agreement with the Thai Ministry of Education. It originally operated as AIT Child Center, serving children aged 5 to 12, and later merged with the AIT Playschool to provide services for younger children. In 2000, it became the AIT Community School, and on November 4, 2009, it officially adopted the name AIT International School (AITIS). Today, it remains a unit of AIT, maintaining its connection with the university and primarily serving children of AIT staff, students, and the surrounding community.

Community

AITIS has a multicultural community closely connected to the AIT campus, with families from a variety of national backgrounds. The school hosts and participates in Thai and international celebrations, including festivals, sports days, cultural performances, and community service activities. Field trips, school camps, and co‑curricular programs also contribute to the community atmosphere.

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

The AITIS Parent Teacher Association (PTA) includes all parents and teachers of the school. The PTA supports school life by organizing community and cultural events, assisting with fundraising activities, and volunteering at school celebrations and sports events. PTA council volunteers are elected at the start of the school year to coordinate these activities. Parents are encouraged to join in festivals, after‑school events, and special projects that enhance the school’s collaborative environment. This active involvement helps maintain a close connection between families and the school.
