Wells International School - Thong Lo Campus

Wells International Kindergarten – Thong Lo Campus is in Bangkok’s Thong Lo neighbourhood, a short walk from the BTS station of the same name. The area is a mix of residential streets and small businesses, offering a calm setting within the city. The campus surrounds a central courtyard, giving children space to play and learn away from the busy main roads.

The campus serves children from Nursery through Grade 2, typically ages 2 to 7, focusing exclusively on early years education before students continue at other campuses for higher grades.

This is a co‑educational, early‑years campus offering day schooling only. There are no boarding options available at this location.

The school website does not publicly disclose information regarding specific provisions for Special Educational Needs (SEN) or Additional Learning Needs at this campus.

The school is part of the EverClever Education Group, a Thai-based private operator, licensed by the Thai Ministry of Education. It does not maintain affiliation with any foreign government or national education system.

There is no religious affiliation; the campus operates on a secular basis and welcomes families of all backgrounds.

The Thong Lo campus operates on weekdays, Monday through Friday, with classes running from 08:00 to 16:00. These timings are based on publicly listed operating hours from trusted directories, as the official website does not confirm the exact schedule. Break and lunch timings are not published online.

A school-operated bus service is available, with routes organised by distance zones from the campus. Families can choose round-trip or one-way service, and pick-up and drop-off arrangements are coordinated directly with the school. The service is available to students in the Thong Lo campus age range and covers key residential areas in Bangkok.

Wells International Kindergarten – Thong Lo Campus follows an American-based curriculum adapted for early childhood education and licensed by the Thai Ministry of Education. It serves students from Nursery to Grade 2 (ages 2–7), focusing on literacy, numeracy, science, social studies, and creative arts. Learning is delivered through a combination of thematic units, hands-on activities, and structured play. The programme incorporates specialist subjects such as art, music, physical education, and ICT, with lessons designed to build foundational academic and social skills. Upon completing Grade 2, students transition to Wells’ On Nut or Bang Na campuses to continue in the American curriculum, which later offers Advanced Placement (AP) and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP).

While the Thong Lo campus does not have a dedicated SEL section on its webpage, Wells International School notes that its teachers participate in professional development on integrating social-emotional learning into lessons across its campuses. This includes strategies for developing emotional self-awareness, social awareness, and regulation skills.

There is no Thong Lo-specific SEN policy published online. However, the Wells system-wide Learning Support Policy outlines strategies such as differentiated instruction, push-in and pull-out support, small group teaching, one-on-one assistance, and academic accommodations. The school is not a specialist SEN institution but provides support to help students access the curriculum.

The school does not publicly disclose any information regarding EAL provision on its official website for either Thong Lo or the broader Wells system.

There is no publicly available information on mental wellbeing programmes or initiatives for the Thong Lo campus or the broader Wells system on the school’s official website.

While the Thong Lo campus page does not list safeguarding details, Wells International School publishes a system-wide Child Protection Policy that applies to all campuses. This policy outlines the school’s commitment to protecting students from harm, defining the roles and responsibilities of staff in identifying and reporting concerns, and detailing procedures for responding to suspected abuse. It also includes guidance on maintaining safe environments and appropriate conduct between staff and students.

1. Apply to join the Wells community. Families may submit the Student Application Form either by visiting the campus in person or by downloading and emailing the completed form to the respective campus. Signatures must still be provided on-site for emailed submissions.

2. Schedule a time for testing. Students applying for Grade 1 or 2 complete a paper-based assessment evaluating foundational academic skills. Those applying to Grades 3–12 undertake several components: DORA (Diagnostic Online Reading Assessment), ALEKS (math assessment), a writing sample, and a personal interview.

3. Submit official documents. Once a student is accepted, families must provide documentation including passport copies (student and parents), recent academic reports, medical check-up records, ID photos, and any additional paperwork requested by the school. Thai nationals must also provide a house registration copy.

4. Pay school fees. Before registration can proceed, families must pay all applicable fees such as tuition, enrollment, uniforms, and any additional charges for ESL or after-school programs as needed.

5. Register for classes. Upon confirmation of payment, students will be issued class schedules, basic supplies, and a student-parent handbook. This step finalizes enrollment and allows students to begin attending classes.

Wells International School offers scholarships to new students, particularly at the secondary level, based on academics, sports, or the arts. Awards are decided by the school each year and applied directly to school fees. Applicants must submit documentation such as transcripts, portfolios or performance samples, letters of recommendation, and a personal profile, and may be interviewed by an administrator. The number and amount of scholarships awarded vary annually.

There is no mention on the school's official website of a waitlist or pooled enrollment system.
