St. Andrews Dusit is located at 253/1 Sawankhalok Road, in the Dusit district of central Bangkok.

Dusit follows the British National Curriculum, adapted for a younger, international context. In Early Years (Nursery and Reception), learning is child-centred and play-based under the UK EYFS framework, with daily lessons in English, Maths, Physical Education, Music, Thai, and Mandarin. Communication and language development are built through rich interactions, storytelling, and role play designed to improve vocabulary and confidence. Development in personal, social and emotional domains (PSED), physical growth, literacy, numeracy, and exploration of the world are the foundations of the programme.

As students move into Primary (Years 1–6), they continue along the British Curriculum Key Stages 1–2. Core subjects including English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, Computing, and Languages are delivered through themes and inquiry-based activities. The programme is designed to accommodate different learning styles, remain responsive to individual needs, and encourage critical thinking and creativity. Ongoing teacher assessments ensure that learning is tailored and consistent progression is tracked.

The school integrates social and emotional learning into daily school life through a combination of curriculum and structured welfare systems. The school follows the JIGSAW PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education) programme, which helps students build emotional literacy, self-confidence, and interpersonal skills. These lessons are taught regularly in class and tailored to support children’s developmental stages.

In addition, the school maintains a structured approach to student welfare. A Designated Safeguarding and Welfare Lead (DSL) oversees wellbeing and pastoral provision across the campus. The school promotes student voice initiatives and mentorship opportunities to help children feel heard and supported. This combined approach ensures that social and emotional development is embedded into both academic and wider school life.

SEN Support Structure:
Dusit provides individualized SEN support through its Learning Support programme, which is built on the UK’s inclusive education principles. The school uses an Assess–Plan–Do–Review model to create Individual Education Plans (IEPs) for students who need accommodations or interventions.

Delivery Model:
SEN services include in-class support, small group sessions, or one-to-one intervention, depending on the child’s assessed needs. There is also collaboration with external therapists for occupational therapy, speech and language therapy, and educational psychology, as needed.

Staffing & Training:
SEN provision is coordinated by a Special Educational Needs Coordinator (SENCo) and delivered by specialist teachers with training in inclusive education.

Limitations:
The school evaluates each case during the admissions process to ensure it can meet the student’s needs appropriately.

The school does offer EAL.

The school embeds mental health awareness into daily life via its whole-school well‑being approach. This includes embedding well‑being into the curriculum and routines, encouraging emotional self-awareness and resilience, and using Cognita’s “Be Well” charter initiatives like Global Be Well Day.

Teachers also receive mental health awareness training to support students, with an open-door policy for staff–student communication and early detection of anxiety, stress, or other emotional issues. Parents are involved through the school’s community ethos and wellness initiatives.

St. Andrews International School Dusit defines safeguarding as protecting children from harm, ensuring their healthy development, and taking appropriate action to support their well-being. The school expects all staff to understand the types of abuse, recognize potential risks, and respond when concerns arise. Students are encouraged to express themselves and are taught how to recognize unsafe situations, manage risk, and seek help when needed. These responsibilities apply to everyone in the school community.

To support this, the school conducts background checks on all staff and provides ongoing safeguarding training, including for external providers. A designated safeguarding lead coordinates the school’s approach, and external specialists may be involved when necessary. Students take part in a structured personal and social education programme, and regular surveys are used to gather student feedback about their experiences. Safeguarding practices are reviewed annually through independent audits to ensure procedures are followed and any concerns are addressed.
