Australian International School Bangkok

Specialist Classes


Specialist teachers conduct classes in Music, Art and Thai Language and culture. In addition, our curriculum is enriched with a perceptual motor program, in-class computers, swimming and library sessions.


Music


Through singing, dancing, and playing instruments the children demonstrate an

awareness of musical concepts such a beat and rhythm. They respond to music

through movement, explore different sounds and identify music features.

Art


Children have the opportunity to express themselves through their art making.

They explore different colours, textures, tools, techniques and artists. Through their

sensory experiences they manipulate, discover and explore various art mediums.

Thai Language and Culture





Children learn basic Thai vocabulary through songs, rhymes and picture cues. They develop an awareness of the culture through stories, interaction and festival celebrations.

Information Technology





AISB encourages children to focus on using computers to enrich and extend

their learning across the curriculum.


The Perceptual Motor Program (P.M.P)


The Perceptual Motor Program is a movement based program that develops foundation motor skills which are pre-requisite for effective classroom learning. For example, a child learning to catch a ball is practising the eye movement actions necessary for reading. In fact all communication skills, reading, writing, speaking and gesturing are essentially motor based activities. Thus by focusing on these foundation motor skills we are helping the child’s intellectual development.
