The infusion of the world’s leading curricula from countries such as Singapore (Mathematics and Chinese), The UK, the US and Australia (Social Studies, Science and Language Arts).

In common with the better International schools, Praht Thai provides international learning and understanding for students in a form that can be easily absorbed through the enhanced Praht Thai Internationalised Curriculum. The Thai, English and Chinese lessons are taught by different teachers. Praht Thai is a language-oriented school with a focus on Advanced Academics and Optimised Personal Development for students. Thai-medium lessons adhere to the standards set by curriculum developers from as far afield as Singapore, Australia and Great Britain.

Famous quotes containing the word curriculum:
“If we focus exclusively on teaching our children to read, write, spell, and count in their first years of life, we turn our homes into extensions of school and turn bringing up a child into an exercise in curriculum development. We should be parents first and teachers of academic skills second.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
