How to choose your High School pathway
The High School at International School Bangkok is an exciting place of learning for students! Our inclusive and challenging US international curriculum offers opportunities for all students to learn at the highest levels and achieve their personal best. Students begin their learning journey in Grade 9 pursuing foundational courses in core subject areas. These include; English, a World Language, Mathematics, World Studies, Science, Arts & Design/Technology, Physical Education & Health. From as early as Grade 10 onwards, students can opt to pursue a personalized pathway that provides them with multiple ways to develop their interests and love of learning. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our diverse and dynamic learning pathways offering both Advanced Placement (AP) and the International Baccalaureate (IB) courses. The AP Capstone and the IB Diploma represent our most challenging academic pathways.
Many universities around the world may require an IB Diploma or a specific set of AP courses for admissions. Students can choose to follow one of these pathways, as part of their graduation plan, or pursue a blend of AP and IB courses. In addition to these esteemed programs, ISB offers a wide range of robust innovative courses that empower students to foster their individuality and creativity. From arts and humanities, to STEM and a wide range of physical education courses, our varied curriculum caters to a broad spectrum of interests. The flexibility of our learning pathways ensures that each student can chart their own academic course, embracing a personalized learning experience that goes beyond the traditional classroom setting.
