Celebrating multilingualism

From the earliest days in Tara Tots Playgroup, children are immersed in a warm, language‑rich environment where English is naturally woven into play and daily routines. In Early Years, constant interaction in English deepens confidence and comprehension. Through Primary, learners follow English as a First or Second Language, consolidating core literacy and communication skills.
 
At our Secondary School in Thailand, all students work towards English IGCSE (First Language or English as a Second Language), sharpening advanced reading, writing and analytical abilities with daily ELLS support where needed. By Sixth Form, they tackle English Language and Literature at a high level, mastering critical thinking and sophisticated expression that prepare them for university and beyond.

From Tara Tots Playgroup, children encounter Thai as a natural part of play, routines and relationships. In Early Years, five weekly sessions build on this foundation through songs, stories and games. As they move into Primary, learners follow Thai as a First or Additional Language, with pathways tailored to both native and non‑native speakers.
 
In Secondary, Thai Language & Culture runs through KS3 and remains central in KS4, with flexible examinable and non‑examinable options. By Sixth Form, Thai Language & Studies brings together advanced language development with a deeper understanding of Thai culture, identity and context.

From Primary to Year 9, Mandarin evolves from an engaging introduction to a confidently used additional language. In the early years, students explore tones, core vocabulary and simple characters through songs, stories and games.
 
As they move up the school, learning becomes more structured: pupils expand character recognition and writing, practise real-life dialogues and begin to read short texts. By Year 9, many can handle more complex conversations and written tasks, demonstrating secure foundations for further Mandarin study.

At our international school in Pattaya, French, Spanish and Russian are available as optional co‑curricular languages, giving students the chance to broaden their cultural horizons and boost their global futures beyond the main timetable. 

Through engaging, conversation‑focused sessions, they develop practical communication skills and confidence in an additional language, strengthening future study, travel and career opportunities.
