Children from two years old – English EYFS curriculum in parallel with Montessori methodology.
KINDERGARTEN
Children from four years old – English EYFS curriculum in parallel with Montessori methodology, Kindergarten is slightly more formally structured and acts as a stepping stone to Primary school.
M.I.S. CURRICULAM
The M.I.S. curricula are designed to encourage each child to achieve their highest potential as well as to meet the English Curriculum standards. The focus is on the physical, psychological, intellectual and social development of the child.
M.I.S. PRESCHOOL & KINDERGARTEN M.I.S.
Offering Preschool & Kindergarten education for children aged between 2 and 5 years old. We use the Montessori educational method in parallel with the Early Years Foundation Stage of the English curriculum. Both approaches promote the key areas of care, learning and development. In the UK, Preschool is known as the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS), which covers education for children before they reach five. Meanwhile ‘Kindergarten’ here in Thailand, is equivalent to the ‘Reception Year’ in the U.K. which admits children who turn 5 during the academic year.
“GIVE YOUR CHILD A HEADSTART IN LIFE!”
PRESCHOOL A&B CURRICULUM
“PLAY WITH A PURPOSE”
The EYFS curriculum is a comprehensive framework that guides the learning, development, and care of children from birth to 5 years old. It sets the standards for early years providers to ensure children learn and develop well while being kept healthy and safe. The curriculum prepares children with the knowledge and skills they need to start school, focusing on play and learning through play as essential components of early education. The EYFS framework emphasizes three prime areas of learning—Communication and Language, Physical Development, and Personal, Social, and Emotional Development —which are crucial for children’s success in all other areas of learning and life

Together, we turn every day into an opportunity to learn, grow, and explore the wonders of the world around us.
Finally, at MIS we aim to develop a cooperative environment where children, parents and teachers can all learn together to make this journey one of true discovery.
“EDUCATING AND EMPOWERING THE NEXT GENERATION”
Using the Montessori Method, our Early Years classes adapt the teaching and learning for each child’s current developmental stage. Each child is treated as an individual and encouraged to work at the pace that is right for them.
In order to create the right learning environment, we provide Montessori materials that are especially designed for a child’s exploration and self–discovery, encouraging children to be active learners at every level.
In each area of learning there are expectations of attainment known as the early learning goals. The lessons and activities that are provided across the timetable serve to develop and consolidate the skills the children need to meet these learning goals across the seven areas of learning.

Let’s all learn and grow together!
NURTURING LITTLE MINDS TO BLOSSOM INTO TOMORROW’S BRIGHTEST STARS
We believe that our MIS parents have an important role to play in the successful implementation of our Behavior Policy in fully supporting these objectives and aims. Forging a close and cooperative relationship between teachers and parents is essential for our youngest students when it comes to behavioural expectations.
EXPLORING THE WORLD, ONE ADVENTURE AT A TIME
LEARNING BEYOND THE CLASSROOM
Primary students explore Thailand’s cultural treasures and landmarks, while secondary students venture to countries like China, broadening their global perspective. Each trip is a step towards becoming informed, worldly scholars.
The school buses enable MIS Early Years students to access many of the local attractions for a half day and these Educational School Trips are free of charge.
We understand that starting school is a very important first step for all children and here at MIS, we take great care to provide a welcoming and friendly environment for all our children. The Early Years Teaching Staff are experienced in ensuring the transition to school goes smoothly and children are quickly integrated into their respective classes.
The school has a new CCTV system installed around the school and nobody is allowed on site without an identification lanyard.
