We were really happy to welcome students back on campus after so many months. As educators, it is being with kids brings happiness and fulfillment.
The students managed the new safety measures well and we are grateful for everyone’s cooperation to ensure a smooth and enjoyable start to the school year.
By Monday 17th August, when our 3 year olds have their first day of class, all grade levels will be back on campus.
Regretfully, we still have a number of students outside of Thailand waiting to enter the Kingdom and we have been welcoming these students virtually and ensuring that learning continues to move forward. We look forward to seeing our absent students on campus as soon as they are able to arrange travel and complete quarantine. In the meantime, if there is anything we can do for our absent families, please reach out to our divisional administrators and counselors listed below.
To our new families, whether you are in Thailand or still making your way to us, welcome to ISB! You’re joining a warm, caring, dynamic community here and we look forward to working with and getting to know you. If we can help in any way, please reach out. As an international school with a reasonably mobile population we have significant expertise in helping with transitions.
To our returning families, it’s been a challenging past few months and we thank you for your ongoing support, understanding and contributions to our implementation of our new processes and procedures. It has been so uplifting seeing your children on campus this week, reconnecting with their teachers and their friends. With athletics and activities starting in the coming days and weeks, we’ll soon be as close to normal as we can – given the current situation.
Most of our new teachers have been able to arrive in Thailand and are either completing their quarantine requirements or have completed them already.
We started this year once again celebrating the achievements of our 2020 graduates. You can learn more about their IB results and college acceptance information here, as well as other academic results from the school year. Kudos to the Class of 2020 for achieving so much in such a difficult year.
As the school year progresses we may face additional COVID-19 challenges, but we are well placed to adapt as needed and continue with learning whatever may arise. The situation in Thailand remains positive and we are hopeful that will continue. The
