Our Academics
The Benefits of a Homeschool Without Social Isolation:
At Life School Phuket, we believe that an effective education doesn’t just come from memorizing or lecturing. Active participation in the learning process entails analyzing, discussing and collaborating - in order to comprehend and retain. We do peer mentoring projects every term to get students of different age and social groups working together. This is much closer to the real-world working environment most adults end up in than the traditional mass-schooling model which was designed primarily for factory workers.
We follow the #1 British international school curriculum for the core academic subjects of English, Math, and Science for stages 1-9. On top of this, we supplement weekly with the following classes:
Thai Language
Thai Culture
Chinese
Life Skills
ICT
History
Geography
Physical Education
Art
Music
Reading
Unstructured Time
Small Class Sizes and Child-Centered
Children at Life School Phuket are level tested for each subject and are allowed to move through the material at their own pace. As each class has a maximum of 10-12 students, the teachers are able to send a lot of time focusing on each student and where they are at in a given subject or topic.
Some children may learn more quickly in one subject, and we constantly reassess and adjust the groups to try and match each child's natural learning speed for each subject with a group of similar students, regardless of age.
