Australian International School Bangkok - Soi 31

Australian International School Bangkok’s Soi 31 campus is nestled at 319 Sukhumvit Soi 31 in Bangkok’s Watthana district. It resides in a quiet, leafy residential area of central Sukhumvit, offering a calm environment while remaining well connected—taxis, BTS/MRT stations, and main road access are convenient. The campus shares proximity with the AISB Sports Centre and Innovation Centre and is just minutes away from the Soi 20 campus, connected by a supervised shuttle service, making transitions and shared activities easy.

AISB operates a two-campus model: Soi 20 serves the Early Years (Nursery and Year 1), while the Soi 31 campus accommodates the full range from Foundation (Year 1) through to Year 12. This structure clearly distinguishes the youngest learners’ setting from older primary and secondary students, with most of the Foundation–Year 12 progression housed on Soi 31.

AISB operates as a day school.

Support services include a structured EAL program with small-group and intensive options, along with a Learning Support department that provides personalized plans, assessments, and teacher collaboration. The Access and Inclusion teacher coordinates extra help with internal staff and external specialists as needed.

While not formally affiliated with the Australian government, the school’s curriculum and identity are strongly influenced by Australian education.

The school has no religious affiliations.

At the Soi 31 campus, the school day begins at 07:30 for both Primary and Secondary students. Primary classes (Foundation to Year 6) finish at 14:00, while Secondary (Years 7–12) end at 14:50. Breaks and lunchtime are built into the timetable, with meals provided daily on campus. Early Years (Nursery to Pre-Kindergarten) are housed at the Soi 20 campus and follow shorter hours, but Foundation (from Year 1 onwards) transitions fully to Soi 31.

AISB provides optional transportation in partnership with Montri Transport, a well-established Bangkok school transport provider. The service is door-to-door and includes both a driver and an adult supervisor on every route. Terms and conditions for the service are available directly from Montri upon request. This option gives families flexibility and additional safety for young children.

The Australian International School Bangkok (AISB) follows a pathway that combines the Australian Curriculum and the Cambridge International programme. In the Primary Years (Foundation to Year 6), the school uses Australian teaching approaches with a broad curriculum including English, Mathematics, Science, Humanities, Languages, the Arts, and Physical Education. In Lower Secondary (Years 7–8), students continue with the Australian Curriculum while also preparing through Cambridge Lower Secondary courses. In Middle Secondary (Years 9–10), students work towards the Cambridge IGCSE qualifications, which cover a wide range of academic subjects. The final stage, Senior Secondary (Years 11–12), offers the Cambridge AS and A Levels, providing internationally recognised qualifications for university entrance. Throughout all year levels, students also study Thai language and culture, with additional options in French, Mandarin, Japanese, and German for native speakers.

At Soi 31 Secondary, Positive Education is built into the daily timetable, with regular sessions on bullying, resilience, goal setting, cyber safety and positive psychology led by teachers. Primary (Years 1–6 at Soi 31) delivers a Health & Wellbeing program that explicitly teaches social skills, resilience and optimism, with monthly assemblies reinforcing protective behaviours. The Secondary page further notes a scope-and-sequenced Positive Education curriculum taught regularly. School-wide Student Support Services emphasise personal growth and socio-emotional development alongside academics. These provisions apply to students educated on the Soi 31 campus (Foundation–Year 12).

AISB provides Learning Support that includes targeted 1:1, small-group and in-class support, Individual Learning Plans, and collaboration with parents and teachers; these services are available to Soi 31 students. The Access and Inclusion program supports students with identified learning disorders (e.g., dyslexia) and, where appropriate, coordinates with external specialists such as speech and occupational therapists. Guiding principles include confidentiality and a strengths-based approach. The website describes SEN as support within AISB’s mainstream provision rather than a specialist SEN school.

There is a full-time EAL teacher on each campus, including Soi 31, who assesses learners, plans curriculum-aligned support with homeroom teachers and families, and exits students when they reach independent English proficiency. Provision includes Regular EAL (3 sessions/week) and Intensive EAL (5 sessions/week), each 45 minutes with a maximum of 6 students per class. Instruction starts with a focus on spoken language and progresses toward more written-like language as skills develop.

Primary students at Soi 31 receive explicit instruction in health literacy, emotional wellbeing and protective behaviours through the Health program and monthly assemblies. Secondary embeds Positive Education daily, addressing age-specific issues such as bullying and cyber safety. The Soi 31 Secondary Highfield building includes a Nurses Room and a Student Counsellor’s Room, supporting on-site wellbeing. Outdoor Education and service learning in Secondary further develop empathy, leadership and teamwork. Student Support Services frame socio-emotional development as a core element alongside academics.

The school does not publicly disclose specific safeguarding or child protection policies on its website.

1. Initial Inquiry and Campus Visit
Families begin the admissions process by contacting the school directly or visiting the Soi 20 Campus. Parents are encouraged to tour the campus, meet staff, and discuss the suitability of the program for their child’s age group (Nursery to Year 1).

2. Application Submission
An application form must be completed and submitted with the required supporting documents (such as passport copies, previous school reports if applicable, and medical records). At this stage, a one-time application is payable.

3. Assessment (if required)
For certain year groups or based on the recommendation of the Head of School, an assessment may be required. This incurs an additional assessment fee. The assessment ensures that the child’s needs can be supported effectively within the program.

4. Offer of Placement
Once the application and any assessments are complete, the school will issue an offer of placement if a place is available. Parents must then pay the non-refundable registration fee to secure the child’s enrolment.

5. Enrolment and Orientation
Tuition fees must be paid before the child begins classes. Enrolment is confirmed only when the first term’s fees have been received in full. Orientation details are provided to help families and students settle into the school routine.

The school's Soi 31 campus does not publicly disclose any scholarships, other than sibling discounts.
