AIT International School

AIT International School is located within the Asian Institute of Technology campus in Pathum Thani, about 40 km north of central Bangkok. The campus sits in a quiet suburban area near Rangsit and is accessible via the Phahonyothin Road corridor, with expressway links to Bangkok and Don Mueang International Airport. Families benefit from the calm academic environment of the AIT campus while still being close to nearby residential areas and amenities.

The school serves children from Nursery (age 2½) through Grade 6 (age 11–12). It is divided into Early Years (Nursery–Kindergarten) and Elementary (Grades 1–6).

AITIS is a co‑educational day school. It does not provide boarding facilities.

The school’s official “Special Learning Needs” page describes its provisions for students with mild learning difficulties, served through in-class or small-group support integrated into the mainstream curriculum.

The school operates under the Asian Institute of Technology, but it does not have a formal national affiliation.

AIT International School is non‑religious and does not have any religious affiliation.

Classes start at 8:00 AM and finish in the mid‑afternoon, with slightly shorter hours on Fridays. Pre‑Kindergarten runs until about 2:45 PM (2:05 PM on Fridays), with an optional daycare until 4:00 PM for working or studying parents. Kindergarten to Grade 6 ends at 2:45 PM on weekdays and 2:05 PM on Fridays, with after‑school activities from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM. A short morning break and lunch break are built into the schedule, and staff supervise students from 7:30 AM.

There is not enough information available publicly about the school's bus service.

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. Thai is taught at two levels: Thai A for native speakers and Thai B for non‑native learners. English is the language of instruction, and diverse teaching methods—such as projects, discussions, field trips, portfolios, and inquiry‑based learning—are used to foster independent and critical thinking. Learning is organized into two semesters per academic year, with regular assessments and portfolio evaluations guiding student progress

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
