Future Steps International School Bangkok

First & Future Steps International School Bangkok is located in the Sukhumvit 31 and 39 area of Watthana, a central residential district popular with expatriate families. The campus is easily accessible from Phrom Phong BTS station and is surrounded by local amenities, shops, and dining options. The school provides a convenient location for families living in central Bangkok with access to main Sukhumvit Road transport links.

FSB caters to children from 16 months to 11 years old, covering Early Years and Primary education. The school is structured into Pre‑Nursery, Nursery, and Kindergarten classes under the Early Years Foundation Stage, followed by Year 1 to Year 6 for primary students. For secondary education, the school has a partnership with St. Andrews International School Bangkok, offering a clear pathway for students to continue their studies.

The school is a co‑educational day school.

The school provides individual and small‑group support to help children develop core skills and confidence in the classroom. Teachers work closely with students who need extra attention in areas such as literacy, numeracy, and social development. This support is designed to ensure that all children can participate fully in school life, even if they need extra guidance.

The school is not affiliated with any country.

The school has no religious affiliations.

The school day at First & Future Steps International School Bangkok is staggered by age group to suit students’ needs. Rising 2’s, Nursery, and FS2 attend from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., with optional activities until 2:30 p.m. FS3 students attend from 8:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., and Year 1 to 6 students attend from 7:45 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., with after‑school activities extending to 3:30 p.m. This structure supports younger learners with shorter days while allowing older students to participate in extended co‑curricular activities.

FSB operates both a school bus and a free tuk‑tuk shuttle service. The tuk‑tuk shuttle runs between the campus and Phrom Phong BTS station at fixed times in the morning and afternoon, offering a convenient link for central Sukhumvit families. Meanwhile, bus routes cover nearby neighborhoods, organized through the school’s admissions office and tailored to family needs. Transport details, including costs and available routes, are confirmed at the time of admission.

First & Future Steps International School Bangkok follows the British curriculum from Early Years through the end of Primary School (Year 6). Children in Pre‑Nursery, Nursery, and Kindergarten (FS2 and FS3) learn through the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework, with a focus on play‑based exploration, early literacy, numeracy, and social skills. From Year 1 to Year 6, students progress through the British National Curriculum, covering core subjects including English, mathematics, science, and humanities, alongside art, music, and physical education. Specialist lessons include French and German, as well as optional bilingual EYFS programmes for families seeking French or German language immersion. English as an Additional Language (EAL) and short‑term learning support are offered to help students access the curriculum fully. After Year 6, students typically transition to secondary education through the school’s partnership with St. Andrews International School Bangkok.

The school delivers SEL through the Happy Confident Schools programme using the FEELIT® methodology. This approach teaches students to identify and express 100 nuanced feelings, master self‑regulation, and develop compassion for themselves and others. Lessons are delivered in short, clinician‑approved activities integrated into class, circle time, and assemblies. Students also engage in mindfulness practices with affirmations, conversations, and meditations. The programme aims to equip children with ten core character skills and strategies for reflection, resilience, and positive personal development.

FSB offers short‑term learning support that may include booster groups, English or numeracy support, fine motor skills, and behaviour management. The school is not a specialist SEN institution and does not list specific categories of SEN that it can support beyond this short‑term assistance.

Mental wellbeing at FSB is supported through an embedded pastoral care system that focuses on emotional health and daily wellbeing. The school incorporates mindfulness practices, including affirmations, reflective conversations, and guided meditations, into class time, circle time, and assemblies. These activities help students manage emotions, reframe negative thoughts, and develop practical coping strategies. While SEL builds social and emotional skills, the pastoral care focus is on providing a safe, supportive environment where students feel connected and cared for throughout their school day.

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