At Bromsgrove International School Thailand we know that a strong Science education is an essential part of our students’ entitlement, and we are proud of the way that our teaching makes use of our unique location.
 Our well -equipped laboratories and experienced specialist staff allow us to provide students with a wide range of ‘hands – on’ activities.  Compulsory fieldwork and field trips enable us to make the most of the opportunities that exist in this beautiful country.

Our Science courses at all stages follow the British National Curriculum, but are also based on attaining a good understanding of how broader scientific ideas are applied and used here in Thailand.
We believe that all students need to be scientifically literate citizens, and we aim to equip all our students with the skills necessary to survive and thrive in a rapidly changing technological environment.

Key Stage 3 (Years 7, 8 and 9)

Students in Key Stage 3 follow the Catalyst course which is based on the UK National Curriculum. Students learn how to carry out basic laboratory techniques and are encouraged to apply their skills to new situations.

Key Stage 4 (Years 10 and 11)

Students in Key Stage 4  follow the Cambridge IGCSE course. The qualification that they obtain in August  at the end of the 2 year course is equivalent to two IGCSEs. The teaching builds on and develops the basic concepts that were learned in Key Stage 3. Students are encouraged to make connections between the ideas they learn about in their Biology, Chemistry and Physics lessons.

Key Stage 5 (Years 12 and 13)

The Science Department is preparing to offer all 3 Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, & Physics) at AS Level from September 2009. Our current Year 12 students are taking AS Biology and will be able to complete the first round of Advanced level exams in the summer of 2010.

AS Biology is a rigorous scientific course with a strong practical emphasis that aims to equip all students with the skills necessary to become confident citizens in a technological world. Students learn about the fundamental biological concepts such as cell theory, and they are encouraged to apply their scientific knowledge to new situations. A key idea throughout the course is the relationship between structure and function in biological systems.
