Our 1,100 students are supported by a team of 278 adults on campus: a teaching faculty of 165 across the IB Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma programmes, including specialist Thai teachers and our student counseling and inclusion staff, backed by 67 support teachers and 46 teaching assistants. That works out to roughly one teacher for every seven students and one caring adult for every four. Our teachers come from 25 countries, more than two-thirds hold a master’s degree and one holds a doctorate, many having trained at universities such as Berkeley, Columbia, McGill, Edinburgh and Fudan. It is this breadth and depth that lets Concordian deliver a genuinely trilingual IB continuum, in English, Mandarin Chinese and Thai, from the Early Years through to Grade 12.
The educators and leaders behind the trilingual programme.
