Lakhana Tavedikul
Director
"The
school is a place where students from all over
the world spend their lives together under the
same roof like a big family. The school seeks
to provide a second home to our students."
Welcome
to The American School of Bangkok and to the
new and exciting adventures and experience that
await you here. The amount of time and effort
you give will make your stay here happy and
memorable.
The
world is getting smaller and smaller everyday.
Scientific technology and tele-communications
have advanced so rapidly, and continue to do
so. The students at The American School of Bangkok
will be taught a modern and innovative education
that keeps pace with technology and prepares
students to live in society with happiness and
success. At the same time, ASB seeks to teach
students to be good people and to develop their
social skills, because a talented person is
not enough-one has to be a person of value to
make a happy life.
The
school is a place where students from all over
the world spend their lives together under the
same roof, like a big family. The aim of ASB
is to create an atmosphere of warmth and love
for our students without discrimination. From
the warmth they receive at ASB, they will grow
up to be, kind and gentle people. As they continue
to develop to their fullest mental capacities,
they will seek knowledge on their own, in order
to become fulfilled and successful human beings.
