About Bangkok Prep International School, Secondary Campus

Preparing our COMMUNITY for a SUSTAINABLE GLOBAL FUTURE


Bangkok International Preparatory & Secondary School provides a nurturing and engaging environment for students  aged from 3-18. We pride ourselves on providing an inclusive and intercultural environment for our students. We are accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and are a member of the Federation of British International Schools in Asia (FOBISIA).

Our children can stay with Bangkok Prep for their entire educational journey, from their first days in Nursery, through to Secondary, where our students go on to take I/GCSEs and A Levels or BTECs in Key Stages 4 and 5 respectively.

Our school campus houses both Primary and Secondary, and features a host of facilities including two indoor sports complexes, 25m and 50m swimming pools, tennis courts, an indoor climbing wall, a recital hall, a whole school auditorium, dance and drama studios, a CAD/CAM suite, Mac suites, and a stunning Sixth Form Centre. We also have an amazing Forest Campus which allows the students the opportunity to learn in a natural environment deep in the heart of Bangkok!

We believe very much in the Vision of the school being the centre of all that we do, and there are four elements which we feel are the cornerstone of our Community Vision:


We develop and invest in our COMMUNITY

As well as providing a first-class education for our students, our support extends to the whole Bangkok Prep Community. We value our home school partnerships and facilitate many Parent Workshops and Community Events throughout the year. We have fantastic support from our parent group, the Friends of Bangkok Prep (FOBP) and we work closely to provide wonderful events for the whole community, such as our Winter Fair, our Forest Campus Barbecues and intercultural celebrations.

We are also fundamentally committed to developing our staff. We have our own, custom designed, Developing Professional Capacity (DPC) Process which is designed to really support our staff to develop their professional practice, providing the best possible experience for our students. We provide opportunities for internal and external Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and also provide opportunities for globally recognised qualifications, such as NPQs and Forest School Training.


We are SUSTAINABLE

Our commitment to sustainability also goes beyond the staples of environmental education. As a school who are now celebrating our 20th Year of operation and sustainability extends to every part of what we do. We are the first school in Thailand to be awarded the prestigious Green Flag award for our work on sustainability. Our Primary and Secondary student-led ECO teams continue to drive our commitment forward and develop the use of our amazing Forest Campus! Our commitment to the environment is only one of our ‘pillars of sustainability’. Our other pillars are Education, Wellbeing for All and Leadership for the Future. We offer a huge range of student leadership opportunities throughout the school and we encourage all of our students to be BRAVE, PROACTIVE and AMBITIOUS leaders, embodying our Bangkok Prep Values.


We maintain a GLOBAL focus

Being GLOBALLY MINDED is one of our Bangkok Prep Values. Our School Community contains almost 60 nationalities and speaks over 30 different languages. We pride ourselves on providing our students with the necessary intercultural competencies to thrive in an increasingly global community.  Whilst we follow the National Curriculum, it is adapted to embody our value of being GLOBALLY MINDED, it provides a fantastic education for our students, beginning with our amazing Thematic Curriculum in Primary which is designed to engage and excite our students, whilst still providing the academic rigour of the National Curriculum. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are interwoven throughout the student’s learning and each of our year groups engage in Service Projects linked to their specific themes. Once their journey through Primary is complete, our focus on holistic education in Secondary remains a priority. Through developing the whole child, with wellbeing placed at the heart of everything we do, our caring, supportive community culture, forms the basis of our teaching and learning philosophy. This includes an extensive extra curricular programme with sport, STEAM and the creative arts playing a huge role. There is a strong emphasis on personalised learning and pathways until our students graduate.


We plan for the FUTURE

As our students near the end of Key Stage 3, our options process begins through personalised support and guidance. Our aim is that every student has their own bespoke pathway that is best suited to their needs and future aspirations throughout their examination years. Our Secondary examined curriculum includes IGCSE, BTEC and A Level. At Prep we believe learning goes further than exams and we prepare our students for the future ahead through our enhanced curriculum programme, which is designed to ensure our students are fully equipped to make decisions and deal with the challenges which life after Prep provides. These include one-to-one university guidance counselling, social emotional counselling and an Enrichment, Futures and Wellbeing Curriculum in Key Stage 5. Once our students leave Bangkok Prep they still remain a part of our community through the alumni network, and we ensure they are ready and prepared for a global sustainable future.


Our Vision

Preparing our COMMUNITY for a SUSTAINABLE GLOBAL FUTURE


Our Mission

At Bangkok Prep we will ensure that:

  • learners will reach their full potential both academically and in preparation for life beyond Bangkok Prep;
  • we will provide an enriched curriculum in which innovation, sustainability, creativity and health are highlighted;
  • we will inspire students to achieve their best through collaborative learning in a safe and enjoyable learning environment;
  • we will develop globally minded, passionate learners who uphold the Bangkok Prep Life Values of being honest, holding high moral standards and having integrity and empathy towards others.


Our Values

The Bangkok Prep Values have recently been refreshed to coincide with our 20th Anniversary. The new set was devised after consulting our community of staff, students and parents, leading to a refreshed set of values we feel accurately represent the community. Throughout the year we focus on a “Value of the Month”; this involves a monthly focus on each 11 values. Each Value reflects a core value that the school believes will assist our students to become positive, involved and caring children who aspire to be the best that they can be, both socially and academically.
