The American School of Bangkok offers an American curriculum with an international perspective. The school's mission is to continually promote an awareness of specific national curriculum requirements in order to equip its international student body to further their education in diverse regions of the world. The standard subject areas - humanities, social studies, science, design and technology, mathematics, languages, art and music - are supplemented by a strong emphasis on Pre K-12 world geography, history and environmental education, as well as a Pre K-12 global values curriculum.

The school offers an elective program in Thai, French, Chinese and Japanese. Moreover, a Japanese section has been developed at the Sukhumvit campus from preschool and up.

ASB believes in promoting in each student a global awareness and appreciation for all areas of the performing arts. Students at ASB are able to choose among the various universal appeals such as ballet, jazz, and ethnic dances; gymnastics and the various forms of martial arts; vocal and instrumental music of diverse world cultures.

There will, more so, be a strong program in drama across the curriculum as it is the philosophy of ASB that continual involvement in drama activities at all grade levels helps to promote oral assertiveness and bulids self confidence in the language acquisition process. Drama performances will culuminate in both large and small productions, performed for the school community and the greater Bangkok community at large.      

      We all recognize that computers are becoming ever more important in today's world, and our computer department offers access to the latest computers and software.

Higher computing courses such as computer graphics and computer programming at the high school level also provide a deeper level of understanding.
