Basis curriculum school to open in Bangkok

A Basis curriculum school will open in Bangkok next year to meet rising demand globally.

 

Basis International School Bangkok will open in September 2019 in the Rama 2 area. The opening follows 20 successful years for the popular US network of schools, which says it “consistently produces students of the highest calibre who regularly appear at the top of US and international academic performance rankings”.

 

The organisation said that the new Bangkok school was conceived after studies showed a growing demand in Thailand for a more ambitious education system following huge demand for places at the Basis International Schools in Shenzhen, China, which was established in 2015, and Guangzhou, China, which opened in 2017.

 

“In today’s digitised global world, the need for professional, multilingual international teachers with a real interest in children’s futures and an ability to help structure them is regarded as increasingly important,” said Carolyn McGarvey, CEO of Basis International “That’s the goal of Basis International School Bangkok: putting children in a place that provides them with the best opportunities for what lies ahead.”

 

The Basis curriculum operates from preschool to 12th grade. Initially, the Bangkok school will serve students up to 5th grade, adding a minimum of one extra grade a year.

The level of schools is so pathetic in Thailand that there is good money in setting up a school. They will probably raise prices by 15-20% a year and continue to have more applications than spots.
