Connecting the dots between education and creativity at Ascot International School Bangkok Thailand

Connecting the dots between education and creativity at Ascot International School

Education is a cornerstone of your child’s early years in life. It shapes our young learners, morphs them, and points them in the right direction while leaving enough room to forge their own paths.

But of course, education, or holistic education, is a broad umbrella term that slightly overlooks the finer details of our curricula. Education can be looked at from a three-pronged perspective.

First is what’s traditionally taught in the classroom. Think of subjects such as Geography, History, and English. Second is physical education. Here, the focus is on sports, activity, and healthiness.

Lastly, an often neglected element of education is the arts. As the purest form of expression, the arts, whether it may be music, theatre, or art, offer a glimpse into the creativity of our pupils.

At Ascot International School Bangkok, we ensure that no stone is left unturned, and the creative geniuses of our students should be recognised and nurtured, which is why Ascot holds an annual Festival of Arts.

Curriculum rooted in creativity and growth

We actively encourage students to take ownership of their artistic inquiries, helping them develop not just technical skills but also imaginative thinking and creative problem-solving abilities.

Our arts curriculum, guided by our dedicated and qualified teaching team, is firmly grounded in the International Baccalaureate® (IB) Primary Years Programme (PYP). The PYP emphasises well-rounded child development, encouraging creative exploration across multiple subjects and contexts.

Key elements of our arts-focused approach include:

    • Student-led learning:
      • Encouraging students to direct their own creative inquiries and artistic projects.
      • Fostering independence, confidence, and imaginative exploration.
    • Integrated, transdisciplinary arts education:
      • Using the six IB transdisciplinary themes, such as “How we express ourselves,” as platforms for creative exploration.
      • Connecting the arts with subjects like language, mathematics, social studies, and science.

Students develop essential skills through arts education, including:

    • Collaboration and teamwork:
      • Working together in class performances and group art projects.
    • Self-expression and confidence:
      • Presenting personal artwork and performing publicly in festivals and exhibitions.
    • Creative problem-solving:
      • Experimenting artistically to explore solutions and innovative approaches.
    • Cultural appreciation and empathy:
      • Exploring diverse art forms, traditions, and global perspectives through creative activities.

At Ascot International School, our commitment to arts education supports students in becoming active, caring, lifelong learners, capable of making meaningful contributions to their community and beyond.

The Festival of Arts

The Festival of Arts acts as a display of our students’ creativity and dedication. Each class, from Years 1 to 6, will present a musical performance, reflecting the hard work and collaboration fostered in our classrooms.

Alongside these performances, a visual arts exhibition will feature a diverse array of student artwork, highlighting the skills and imagination nurtured through our art curriculum.
