Panyaden International School

Entrance assessment and a parent meeting is required for all students entering from Nursery to Year 12. We do not accept students to Year 13 as the IBDP requires a full two years of continuing studies.

In most cases, the assessment is as follows: Nursery to Year 1 Applicants will be assessed using a play-based interview. During this time, the applicant is assessed in the areas of fine motor skills, language use, development, social skills, ability to follow instructions, and general program readiness. The parent will be in an interview with the school Principal. Year 2 Applicants will be asked to submit their previous academic year report card, which helps demonstrate class experiences. The parent will be in an interview with the school Principal. Year 3 to Year 12 Students are initially screened with a computer-based WIDA test for English placement that covers speaking, listening, reading and writing in English. A MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) assessment will be used to determine the student’s maths and science skills. Thai language skills are also assessed through verbal exchange and reading and writing tests. All families are interviewed by the Principal to make sure the child will benefit from a consistent approach to education at school and at home.

Yes, the school waiting list prioritises students by order of when their full application was made. The security deposit of 75,000 THB is non-refundable and non-transferable. This deposit is refundable in full if the school is unable to offer a seat for your child.

The school year typically starts in the first week of August and ends in mid-June. If space allows and the admissions requirements are met, children can join the school throughout the year. Placement for students who require EAL or learning support will depend on the availability of resources and the needs of our current students.

If space allows and the admissions requirements are met, children can join the school throughout the year.

In the morning, we expect children to make their own way to the classroom once they are familiar enough with the school. Parents and guardians may need to encourage their children to do this. From Monday-Thursday, playground supervisors will be on duty to watch over children from 7:45- 8:15 and from 15:20-16:00. On Friday, supervisors will be on duty from 7:45-8:20 and 14:05-14:25.

Yes, at Panyaden students have access to school counsellors and learning support specialists. The team of support staff are available at both Primary and Secondary Campus.

There is a nine-stage approach to meeting children’s needs, depending on their level of need. The homeroom teachers work closely with the students and with the learning support team to identify the difficulties and explore ways of helping the student. All teachers should be using the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) for academics, behaviour, and or social-emotional needs. A referal may be made from the Homeroom teachers to the learning support team. The Learning Support Teacher, School Counselor, and the School Principals collaboratively guide the staff in implementing the Provision/ Accommodation and/ or the Behavior Intervention Plan and assist in monitoring progress. The Learning Support Teacher and Counselor are responsible for conducting weekly check-ins with the student, parents, and all staff. With official documentation of learning and/ or a behaviour disability diagnosis, the Learning Support Specialist, along with the School Counselor, draws up an Individualised Education Plan (IEP) and or a Behavior Modification Plan (BMP).
