Where learning comes to life
On S107’s spacious green campus, students live and learn as part of a diverse and inclusive community where they can explore their passions, challenge their perspectives, and develop a global outlook. While rigorous academic programmes – such as the English National Curriculum accredited by the Centre for British Teaching (CfBT) and the International Baccalaureate – are available here, the school places equal emphasis on providing a nurturing environment.
The combination encourages students to find their voices, pursue their passions, and become the confident, capable young adults they’re meant to be.
“I have the belief that every student should feel that they can achieve wonderful things, and that they can be successful. Every child is different, and it’s about finding their unique strengths and making sure everyone has a voice and is valued.” – Caroline Ratcliffe, Head of School
Core values for lifelong success
The school’s core values –- care, success, inclusivity, and innovation — exemplify its commitment to developing the whole student. This focus stems from its belief that happiness and emotional well-being are essential for students’ social, emotional, and academic growth.
Inclusivity at its finest
It’s not just about headlines and high academic achievements here. As an inclusive school, S107’s caters to all learning needs, offering tailored tasks that match each student’s abilities in different subjects. This personalised approach ensures that every student, regardless of academic level, can engage meaningfully with their learning.
“We’ve also had students who required one-to-one shadowing full time, who were still able to go on and achieve Bs and Cs in their GSCEs, something their parents never dreamt of,” says Mrs. Ratcliffe. “We have different pathways and programmes that we tailor based on the needs of students as they move through secondary – some may go in for only a few GSCE lessons, like doing seven or eight instead of 12.”
An innovative education
Here, students can discover their life’s calling by stepping into leadership roles as a house captain, class rep, or even a junior librarian.
S107 also offers the IB Career-related Programme (IBCP) where students can gain hands-on experience while developing their critical thinking, creativity, and global-mindedness. Similar offerings include the Next Steps programme, where your child can build practical life skills and can work in the school café or library.
Beyond the ICP
S107 takes pride in its unique, specialised offerings that few other schools can match. Students can immerse themselves in courses that utilise the school’s top-tier facilities, from filming in a professional studio and recording music tracks to cooking up creations in food technology classes. And with over 100 extracurricular options available, there’s no shortage of ways to discover new interests and talents.
“We offer lots more holistic opportunities through our programmes, because I think it’s important for students to have that variety. It’s even more important for them to have access to that variety as well,” explains Mrs. Ratcliffe. “Because how would you know if you’re good at something or if you’re interested unless you get a chance to try it?”

Learning to care and give back to the community
Learning extends beyond the classroom walls. An education here will encourage your child to engage with unique projects and learn innovatively, developing practical life skills that prepare them for real-world challenges. Along the way, they develop empathy, environmental responsibility, and social awareness. For example, the Community Action Service, a mandatory experience for Year 12-13 students, encourages them to participate in local community efforts and give back meaningfully.
Students at S107 are also encouraged to enrich each other’s lives. Student-run projects include a Halloween bake sale and a Christmas fair. They bring in home-baked goods to sell and raise money for charities such as Home of Grace, a community for young, pregnant mothers in need of extra support, and Operation Smile Thailand, a non-profit medical charity that provides free treatment for cleft lips, cleft palates, and other facial deformities.

Growing with St. Andrews: Ashnoor’s story
While S107 promises a holistic experience, it’s also known for its academic excellence. You’ll find St. Andrews students in top universities across the UK, US, Asia, Canada, and more. One graduate, who had been with the St. Andrews community since nursery days, ended up at the University of St Andrews in Scotland — one of the best, most experienced universities in the world.
Arshnoor Matta is well on her way to achieving a similar outcome. She’s one of the many students who have grown up at S107. The 18-year-old began her journey as a primary student at St. Andrews International School Sathorn in Bangkok and is now a Year 13 student in S107.
“My parents and I loved the environment and all the experiences that we had, and we wanted to stay within the St. Andrews community,” she says.
Despite coming from a smaller school, she had no issues with settling in — Matta has unforgettable experiences to thank for this. In Year 6, she recalls going on a trip with students from various St. Andrews campuses and reuniting with the seniors who walked her through transitioning from life at Sathorn to S107.
“We’re well-known for our community,” she says. “I think we acknowledge the people around us – it’s like a big family. Teachers also care not only about our learning but about our well-being too; their doors are always open for us between classes, and we go to them if needed.”
Indeed, at St. Andrews International School Sukhumvit 107, academic goals are taken seriously. Experienced teachers are there to guide your child every step of the way. The school is also home to world-class facilities – students interested in pursuing science like Matta can access excellent labs and equipment. At the same time, those who prefer athletic pursuits will enjoy expansive sports amenities and spaces to hone their abilities.
“Things like sporting events, competitions, or even the Duke of Edinburgh Award – they bring you out of your bubble and expose you to many different things, and you learn independence through all of it,” Matta says.
“You definitely find your voice here, especially as you go higher up in school. We have leadership roles like house captains or work as a team hosting charity events throughout the year – you learn to voice your opinions and become a role model who leads by example. We view each other’s success as inspiration, as opposed to competition.”
An inclusive education awaits at St. Andrews International School Sukhumvit 107.
