Open Day on 07 May
In our international school in Phuket, students aged 18 months to 5 years embark on joy-filled learning quests every day - where curiosity sparks creativity, play builds confidence and giggles fuel growth in our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) programme.
Youngest learners learn through the play-based approach of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) curriculum.
Little learners thrive from their very first days in a dynamic trilingual environment, confidently learning English, Thai and French.
Young learners have dedicated spaces to grow, featuring specialised indoor Lego education rooms, an education garden for safe biking with go-carts and a wooden play area for Nursery kids, providing a nurturing environment.
Early Years children nurture social-emotional development, promoting independence, collaboration, emotional understanding and respect through everyday activities and play.
Students develop essential water skills from the very beginning and build confidence through engaging and structured swimming classes.
Young learners enjoy arts and crafts, interactive games, story-time, homework support and outdoor play in our engaging after-school care programme until 3.45pm.
Children explore their passions in our academies such as Dance by STMZ, Swimming, Gymnastics, Ski and Paris Saint-Germain, receiving expert training and enjoying tailored activities.
The admissions process in BCIS School in Phuket is seamless and personalised, and includes multilingual support for international families.
Students will develop curiosity, life skills and progress at their own pace through play in the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). This approach ensures a solid foundation for future learning.
Building strong language foundations Students bring language to life in our Early Years classrooms. They listen eagerly to stories, then retell them with confidence - expanding their vocabulary and comprehension every day. Through phonics games and activities, they master sound recognition and begin blending letters into their first words, building a strong foundation for reading. Using their new phonic knowledge, they form simple sentences on paper, transforming their thoughts and ideas into written words.
Exploring Maths through play
Maths becomes an exciting adventure as students explore numbers, shapes and patterns through playful activities. They develop key skills in counting, sorting and basic calculations, building a solid foundation in numeracy. Through hands-on learning, they strengthen problem-solving abilities and gain confidence in their understanding of maths.
Sparking imagination and language skills
Students develop their listening and comprehension skills through engaging tales that spark their imagination. As they immerse themselves in stories, they expand their vocabulary and deepen their understanding of language. Story time not only enhances their ability to follow and discuss narratives, but also nurtures a love for reading and storytelling.
Laying the groundwork for reading
Students develop essential reading skills by recognising sounds and letters, and blending them into words. Through interactive activities, they strengthen their ability to decode and read with confidence. Phonics builds the foundation for fluent reading, helping children connect spoken and written language.
Fostering curiosity about nature and the environment
Our amazing learners explore the world around them, developing curiosity about nature, people and their surroundings. Through hands-on experiences, they learn about different environments, cultures and how everything connects. This encourages them to ask questions, think critically and develop an appreciation for the world they live in.
Exploring STEAM through experiments
Young learners explore basic Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) concepts through engaging and interactive experiments. This hands-on approach helps them develop problem-solving skills, creativity and sparks curiosity, fostering a love for discovery.
Encouraging exploration at their own pace
Students are given the freedom to explore a variety of activities at their own pace, fostering creativity and independence. This approach helps them develop decision-making skills, take ownership of their learning and build confidence in their abilities as they engage in self-directed play.
Learning basic Thai language and culture
Students are introduced to the basics of the Thai language and culture through songs, stories and interactive activities. They learn new words and phrases while also gaining an appreciation for traditions, customs and ways of life, enriching their understanding of the world around them.
Introducing simple French through play
Students learn basic French words and phrases through songs, games and playful activities. This approach not only helps them develop language skills but also immerses them in the rhythm and flow of the language, fostering an early love for learning languages in a fun, engaging environment.
Building water confidence and safety
Students focus on building water confidence and developing essential water safety skills in guided swimming sessions,. As they practice swimming techniques, they gain the skills needed to feel comfortable and safe in the water, setting the foundation for lifelong water safety and enjoyment.
Developing physical skills through play
Young learners develop gross motor skills, coordination and teamwork through a variety of physical activities. They learn how to work together, follow instructions and improve their physical abilities while having fun, all of which contribute to a healthy, active lifestyle.
Inspiring creativity through hands-on projects
Students are encouraged to express themselves through painting, drawing and crafting, in the art room. These hands-on projects stimulate their imagination, help develop fine motor skills and foster a sense of accomplishment as they create and explore new forms of artistic expression.
Exploring rhythm, melody and movement
Students explore the world of music through singing, instrument play and movement activities. They develop an understanding of rhythm, melody and how music can be expressed through both sound and movement, helping them build coordination, listening skills and a love for music.
