Curriculum

REPS Ban Chang offers a dual‑language curriculum from Nursery through M6, combining the Thai Ministry of Education curriculum with international elements from Cambridge and Oxford. Kindergarten focuses on early literacy, numeracy, and play‑based learning in both Thai and English. In Lower and Upper Primary, students study core subjects such as Thai, English, mathematics, and science bilingually, alongside art, music, IT, PE, swimming, social studies, and Scouts. Lower Secondary builds on these foundations, adding subjects such as computational science and graphic design, with co‑teaching to strengthen both languages. The programme continues through Upper Secondary (M4–M6), preparing students for Thai national qualifications while maintaining a strong emphasis on English instruction and practical enrichment activities.

Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)

The school states that it takes a broad approach to student development, focusing on social and emotional growth across classroom and extracurricular experiences. Teachers support teamwork, problem-solving, and open-minded learning through language arts, sciences, music, creative arts, and world cultures. This cross-curricular design encourages cooperation and emotional development through group activities. There is reference to differentiated support in both Thai and English as part of this supportive learning environment. No specific SEL programmes, staff roles, or named initiatives are detailed.

Special Educational Needs (SEN)

REPS mentions differentiated support in both Thai and English, allowing teachers to adapt lessons to student ability and language needs. However, the site does not list dedicated SEN staff, formal SEN plans, or specialist SEN facilities. The school is not a specialist SEN institution, and it does not specify which types of SEN it can support or has expertise in.

English as an Additional Language (EAL)

The school notes co‑teaching and differentiated instruction to help students build proficiency in both Thai and English. While this suggests support for learners with varying English backgrounds, there is no mention of a formal EAL programme, specialist EAL teacher roles, or structured EAL curriculum on the site.

Mental Wellbeing

REPS states that mental wellbeing is treated as a key priority, with a dedicated Student Affairs and School Counsellor available to assist students, parents, and guardians. The counsellor supports issues such as adjusting to school, managing stress, peer relationships, and future planning. There is no further information about wellbeing groups, workshops, or dedicated mental health staff beyond this role.

Safeguarding

The official website does not provide any published policies, procedures, or staff designations related to safeguarding or child protection, such as a designated safeguarding lead or formal reporting framework.

Admissions

Admissions

1. Book a campus visit. The school encourages families to come in person to experience the environment and meet staff before applying.
2. Complete the application form and submit documents. Parents submit a completed application along with documents: student’s birth certificate or passport, prior school transcript, vaccination records, ID for parents/guardians, and photos. Forms must be accurate and complete to avoid delays. 
3. Attend interview and assessment. Both parents and student meet with school leaders, and students (typically primary and secondary) sit assessments to confirm placement. This helps determine readiness and appropriate class level. 
4. Receive offer and submit fees. Once accepted, parents pay the enrollment, application, deposit, and tuition fees. Requirement includes submitting proof of payment and agreeing to policies via the Engage Parent Portal. 

Scholarships

REPS Ban Chang offers academic and sports scholarships aimed primarily at students transitioning into Upper Secondary (M4–M6). Scholarships are awarded to students who demonstrate strong academic performance or notable talent in sports, and recipients are typically determined through school assessments and subject testing. Awarded scholarships may cover part of the tuition fee for the upper secondary years. The school does not publish specific eligibility criteria, application timelines, or scholarship amounts, indicating that awards are considered on a case‑by‑case basis.

Waitlist

REPS does seem to operate a formal waitlist or admissions pool system, based on their fees.
