Academics

Magic Years International School teaches IB (PYP), IB (MYP), Advanced Placement (AP) for students aged 1 to 16.

Curriculum

MYIS International School follows the International Baccalaureate (IB) curriculum, starting with the Primary Years Programme (PYP) from Early Years through Grade 5, and the Middle Years Programme (MYP) from Grades 6 to 10. Learning is organized around real-world themes that connect subjects like math, science, language, and social studies. Students work on projects, ask questions, and learn how to think critically and solve problems, rather than just memorize facts.

English is the main language of instruction, and all students also study Thai. Mandarin is introduced in middle school. The curriculum includes physical education, arts, music, and technology at all levels. The school also incorporates outdoor learning, with activities tied to its on-campus garden and farm.

Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

MYIS includes SEL lessons led by a school counselor in Primary classrooms. For example, Grade 2 students explore concepts like empathy, the power of words (e.g., using a toothpaste experiment), and community-building through reflection.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

MYIS states that it may accept children with special educational needs on a case-by-case basis. However, the school does not have an in-house SEN department or specialist therapists. Instead, families are expected to engage external specialists (such as speech or occupational therapists) themselves if their child requires regular intervention.

The school mentions that while it supports inclusion in the classroom, it does not provide therapy or specialized instruction for students with moderate to high needs on campus. Decisions regarding admission are made after reviewing individual assessments and needs.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

MYIS does provide English as an Additional Language support. Students who are not yet proficient in English are assessed during the admissions process, and if needed, EAL instruction is provided to help them participate in the mainstream classroom.

Safeguarding

MYIS has established a Child Safeguarding Committee which oversees risk assessments, hazard reporting, maintenance checks, and improvements to safety standards across the school campus. This internal team works alongside external auditors to regularly test equipment, electrical systems, and general site safety, ensuring a proactive approach to minimizing risks.

The school also employs a full-time certified school nurse who manages student health throughout the day, monitoring for illness, administering first aid, and promoting hygienic practices like handwashing and coughing protocols. Staff members receive annual training in first aid, CPR, and emergency response, enabling them to assist students promptly if accidents occur.
