High School Summer Arts Festival 2023 | St Andrews Bangkok

Year 8 students at St Andrews International School Bangkok explored Sustainable Architecture through a project‑based learning experience that combined design, science, and social impact. Working with the needs of families in the Khlong Toei community, students developed architectural proposals that reflected both technical skills and empathy. Their work was enriched by feedback from visiting professionals, who praised the students’ CAD drawings, physical models, and ability to communicate ideas formally. The project highlighted the value of service learning, showing how authentic challenges and expert engagement can inspire creativity, deepen understanding, and prepare students with the skills and confidence needed to tackle real‑world problems.

Teachers from St Andrews International School Bangkok joined the MIT Teacher Professional Development Week in Cambridge, Massachusetts in June 2026, bringing fresh ideas and strategies back to classrooms in Bangkok. Ms Holly (Head of Technology Faculty and SEA Regional MIT Lead) and Mr Michael (Assistant Head of Primary – Teaching and Learning) joined Nord Anglia educators worldwide for the five‑day programme. Grounded in MIT’s Mens et Manus (“Mind and Hand”) philosophy, the experience encouraged learning by doing through research, collaboration, and practical problem‑solving.

St Andrews alum Kazu, a valedictorian and Class of 2021 graduate who scored 44 IB points, exemplifies the excellence and resilience nurtured at STA. From varsity football and drumming in the school band to earning his Integrated Master’s degree (MEng - combined Bachelor’s and Master's) in Bioengineering at Imperial College London, Kazu continues his journey at the University of Oxford as a PhD candidate in cardiovascular disease and stem cell research.

Following excellent university offers and acceptances, strong BTEC outcomes, and another year of academic success, the Class of 2026 has achieved outstanding IBDP and IBCP results. With an average Diploma score of 34 points, well above the global average, and ten students scoring 40 points or more, these results reflect the strength of St Andrews Bangkok’s inclusive and personalised Senior Studies pathways.
