School Counsellor - Ms. Vandana Mathur
Modern International School Bangkok (MISB) counseling program is a comprehensive and collective approach that includes students, families, teachers, community and professional staff. School Counseling services are progressive in nature and are recognized as an integral part of the total educational program. The counselor nurtures self-awareness and encourages students to be effective problem solvers who demonstrate respect, work morally, ethically and contribute to the society in a meaningful way.
Goals
1. To help students understand themselves as learners and encourage them to develop skills, which will enable them to fulfill their aspirations.
2. To utilize a variety of measures to assess students’ academic performance.
3. To identify factors that impact learning and determine a course of action to provide appropriate support.
4. To help students choose and advance in a program that will enable them to select their academic and career goals in their future.
5. To assist students to develop positive interpersonal skills involving respect for diversity and cultural competence.
6. To assist students to be aware of their beliefs, interests and to develop a positive self-image of themselves.
7. To enable students to learn problem-solving and decision making skills to resolve conflicts and to accept responsibility for their choices.
In order to work towards these goals, the school counselor and her team have developed the PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic) curriculum focusing on key domains of Identity, Relationships, Diversity, Risks, Health and Money. The topics are carefully constructed according to the Key Stages 1 – 4.

Early years foundation stage
Overview:
Welcome to our Early Years Foundation Stage. The MISB EYFS programme is for children aged between 3-5 years old and is split into three main groups: Nursery, Reception and Year.1. We are based in a separate purpose built building and have dedicated play areas for all Early Years children.
Youngest learners arrive here with different experiences and interests, but common to all is a wonderful curiousity and a natural desire to learn. We believe that overriding purpose of early years education is to help children develop the skills and attitudes they will need both at this level and throughout a lifetime of learning. Children need a holistic educational experience that doesn’t create artificial boundaries between different aspects of their development. Our Early childhood programme is built around this natural predisposition and inspires in each child a deep love for learning. All children in Early Years enter a dynamic and challenging-yet safe and secure-environment created to foster their confidence to explore and learn.
MISB Programme of study is based on the National Curriculum of England, offering a quality Education to students from Nursery to Year 13. We provide a rigorous IGCSE Programme (Year 10 and Year 11) and Cambridge-approved Advanced levels available to study in Year 12 and Year 13; thus preparing students towards university education worldwide.
MISB is an established center for Cambridge International Examinations CIE and Edexcel, two of the prominent and Internationally recognized assessment bodies from the United Kingdom, to conduct the IGCSE and A/AS level Examinations.
The school is also registered with the Standards and Testing Agency, an executive agency under the Department of Education, United Kingdom and administers its standards Assessment Tests SATs for Key Stage 1 and 2.
To meet the requirements and Accreditation, MISB has been awarded the International Schools Quality Mark by EDT trust.
Whilst our Curriculum is firmly rooted in the National Curriculum of England, it extends far beyond this and is in no way limited by its statutes. At the heart of our Curriculum is an uncompromising commitment to ensuring every child develops to the highest possible standard in all subject areas.
MISB is fully accredited by the prestigious and Internationally recognized EDT (Education Development Trust) formerly known as CFBT. The National Curriculum sets out the programmes of study and attainment targets for all subjects at all 4 key stages. It covers what subjects are taught and the standards children should reach in each subjects. The National Curriculum is organized into blocks of years called ‘key stages’ (KS). At the end of each term and each key stage, the teacher will formally assess your child’s performance.
Compulsory National Curriculum subjects are as follows:
- English
- Mathematics
- Science
- Art and Design
- Social Studies (History and Geography
- Music
- Physical education (PE), including swimming
- Information and Technology (Computer)
- Foreign languages
Additional National Curriculum subject:

Our teaching is tailored as much as possible to accommodate individual learning styles and needs and encourages our students to flourish, grow in self-confidence and, above all, fulfill their potential.
