Our Kindergarten
A bilingual start where children build confidence, English proficiency, and a love of learning — through play, exploration, and individual care.
📚 What Our Kindergarteners Learn
The ACEP Kindergarten curriculum focuses on four pillars that shape every day in the classroom:

Thai Ministry curriculum integrated with international best practice. English, Mathematics, and Science taught by native-speaking teachers alongside Thai Language, History, Religion, and Thai Culture.
📚 What Our Primary Students Learn

Beyond academic teaching, ACEP keeps a dedicated clinical psychology team on campus — supporting students from Primary 1 through Primary 6, consulting with teachers on classroom strategies, and working alongside parents on social-emotional growth.
What the psychology team does — Consults with teachers on classroom strategies · supports students navigating social-emotional milestones · runs early-years screening when needed · provides confidential 1:1 sessions with referral to specialists when appropriate · liaises with parents on growth and well-being.

When you choose ACEP, your child joins a 125-year network of 15 schools across Thailand — and an alumni community of leading entrepreneurs, executives, ministers, doctors, engineers, and creatives who open doors throughout life.
In an era where AI serves as the fundamental infrastructure for every sector — from energy and food to technology — our challenge is to empower the next generation to become the architects of the future, rather than mere occupants of a technology-driven world.
We believe that while not every student possesses a profound literary talent, every child can achieve effective communication through international languages (English and Chinese) and Systematic Thinking. These are the essential competencies for mastering AI prompting in today's landscape.
As a member of the Catholic educational network managed by the Saint Gabriel's Foundation of Thailand, we focus on moral cultivation to develop individuals of high integrity. In the age of AI and collaborative teamwork, "Virtue" and "Trust" have become the most precious and rarest foundations of success.
We invite you to join our community, characterized by a distinguished alumni network of leading entrepreneurs, top executives, and organizational leaders at both national and international levels. Together, let us build a society that fosters human dignity and collective prosperity.

Three-Stage Commitment
Every teacher at ACEP passes through the same three-stage commitment.
Our direction: all native teachers progressively moving to British faculty and Cambridge-aligned assessment; all Thai teachers continually upgraded through the same Cambridge methodology.
What parents really evaluate when choosing an international school for their child — and how ACEP answers each.
1. Toward an All-British Native Faculty
As ACEP enters its next phase we are progressively building an all-British native faculty, Cambridge-aligned and recognised through our Teacher Standard.
2. International Recognition · Credit Transfer
Our students earn Cambridge, IDP IELTS, and HSK credentials that count toward leading universities worldwide.
3. Assumption · Saint Gabriel Heritage
125+ years of Catholic education excellence in Thailand — a name parents have trusted across generations to form leaders of character.
4. Alumni Network · Career Pathway
From classroom to industry: our alumni include leading entrepreneurs, executives, and organisational leaders nationally and internationally.
5. Life Skills Beyond the Classroom
Learning that fosters creativity, resilience, and the practical skills students will need to lead fulfilling, meaningful lives.
6. Social Responsibility & Virtue
In the age of AI and teamwork, virtue and trust become rarest assets. We form students of conscience — leaders with both competence and compassion.
④ International Recognition · Credentials That Travel
Our students earn credentials from globally recognised institutions — for university admission and credit transfer worldwide.
⮕ Our direction: every assessment Cambridge-aligned across all levels.
