International School Curriculum in Thailand

Thailand


Thailand has a thriving international K-12 education sector, offering a variety of curricula to meet the diverse needs of expatriate and local students. The British National Curriculum is widely taught, including the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), Key Stages 1-4, IGCSEs, and A-levels. The International Baccalaureate (IB), encompassing the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), and Diploma Programme (DP), is also common, valued for its rigorous academic standards and holistic educational approach. The American curriculum, featuring US Common Core/AERO and Advanced Placement (AP) courses, is prevalent in many schools. Canadian and Australian programs, though less common, are also available. These curricula serve students from early childhood through high school, ensuring a comprehensive educational journey. Major cities such as Bangkok, Chiang Mai, and Phuket are primary hubs for international school jobs, driven by their large expatriate populations and vibrant international communities. In addition to international schools, private schools, Montessori schools, and public school international departments offer international programs, often delivered in English. However, these are generally less regulated and resourced compared to international schools, with mainly local students. Thailand’s rich cultural heritage and modern educational framework create a dynamic environment for international education, attracting educators from around the world.

International School Salaries in Thailand

Thailand


Teaching at an international school in Thailand is a deeply enriching career option. Generally, international schools require a professional teaching license such as QTS, PGCE, or a similar credential. However, these requirements may be more relaxed for roles in public school international departments or private colleges. Thailand also provides numerous opportunities for non-teaching roles such as librarians, teaching assistants, speech-language therapists, and educational technology specialists, all of which play a vital role in supporting the educational environment. Special education is gaining recognition in Thailand, with many international schools offering services for students with special educational needs (SEN). This includes positions for SEN teachers and Special Educational Needs Coordinators (SENCOs) who provide crucial tailored support. Career advancement opportunities are robust, with roles such as Head of Department (HOD), Principal, and regional director available for experienced educators. The competitive nature of the international school market in Thailand drives schools to seek out educators who can lead and innovate. Professional development programs are often emphasized, with many schools offering opportunities for staff to advance their careers. Salary and benefits packages are highly competitive, often exceeding those available in the public education system. Teachers can expect resettlement allowances, free education for their dependents, housing, and other benefits. Facilities and classrooms in Thailand’s international schools are generally superior to those in public schools, making it an appealing location for educators.
