Elementary School · Grades 1–4
Curious Custodians
In the Elementary years, students transition from exploration to scientific observation. Aligned with American NGSS standards, our young learners move beyond textbooks to witness life cycles, biodiversity, and conservation in action.
Phuket as a Living Laboratory
By engaging directly with our coastal and forest surroundings, Elementary students develop the foundational inquiry skills and environmental empathy required for higher-level academic success. The beach and forest aren't just a backdrop. They are a laboratory for understanding life cycles, local biodiversity, and conservation.
Our curriculum is aligned with American Common Core standards for literacy and mathematics and NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) for science, ensuring a seamless foundation for Middle School and beyond.
