ICT Program At St. Andrews International School Sathorn, we are conscious that our students operate in an increasingly digital and global world. We provide our students with access to technology in the classroom through a vast array of online resources and devices. Classrooms are equipped with interactive whiteboards and students have access to banks of iPads and computers throughout the week as needed.

Accreditation Sathorn currently holds gold level accreditation from the Education Development Trust, indicating outstanding performance in key categories, including students' personal development, administrative leadership, and inclusion to all students' academic progression.

‘Sathorn is an outstanding school where students thrive academically and personally. Students build extremely well on the excellent start made in the Early Years Foundation Stage. Exceptionally effective provision in the Nursery, Kindergarten and Reception classes means that students settle in quickly. The vast majority of students start with little or no English, rapidly learning to communicate in English due to the sensitive and highly skilled teaching team.

This quick rate of progress continues throughout the school as a result of outstanding teaching. Teachers have a high degree of subject expertise and are skilled in engaging and motivating students.’ Education Development Trust
