Preparing our **COMMUNITY** for a **SUSTAINABLE GLOBAL** **FUTURE**

Bangkok International Preparatory & Secondary School provides a nurturing and engaging environment for students aged from 3-18. We pride ourselves on providing an inclusive and intercultural environment for our students. We are accredited by the Council of International Schools (CIS) and are a member of the Federation of British International Schools in Asia (FOBISIA).

Our children can stay with Bangkok Prep for their entire educational journey, from their first days in Nursery, through to Secondary, where our students go on to take I/GCSEs and A Levels or BTECs in Key Stages 4 and 5 respectively.

Our school campus houses both Primary and Secondary, and features a host of facilities including two indoor sports complexes, 25m and 50m swimming pools, tennis courts, an indoor climbing wall, a recital hall, a whole school auditorium, dance and drama studios, a CAD/CAM suite, Mac suites, and a stunning Sixth Form Centre. We also have an amazing Forest Campus which allows the students the opportunity to learn in a natural environment deep in the heart of Bangkok

We believe very much in the Vision of the school being the centre of all that we do, and there are four elements which we feel are the cornerstone of our Community Vision:
**We develop and invest in our COMMUNITY**

As well as providing a first-class education for our students, our support extends to the whole Bangkok Prep Community. We value our home school partnerships and facilitate many Parent Workshops and Community Events throughout the year. We have fantastic support from our parent group, the Friends of Bangkok Prep (FOBP) and we work closely to provide wonderful events for the whole community, such as our Winter Fair, our Forest Campus Barbecues and intercultural celebrations.

We are also fundamentally committed to developing our staff. We have our own, custom designed, Developing Professional Capacity (DPC) Process which is designed to really support our staff to develop their professional practice, providing the best possible experience for our students. We provide opportunities for internal and external Continuing Professional Development (CPD) and also provide opportunities for globally recognised qualifications, such as NPQs and Forest School Training.
