At Asia Boston International School, English is the principle medium of instruction. Our academic program is based
on the American educational system. This program is custom designed to be appropriate for the students and
development of the education of youth of all nations. This Western curriculum is entwined with the local
surroundings of distinctive Thai cultural values and traditions, which shape the morals and values of learners at all
levels. The school program is a continuum of instruction from preschool through Grade 6, which will prepare our
students for success in a diverse global society.
