Teachers from St Andrews International School Bangkok joined the MIT Teacher Professional Development Week in Cambridge, Massachusetts in June 2026, bringing fresh ideas and strategies back to classrooms in Bangkok. Ms Holly (Head of Technology Faculty and SEA Regional MIT Lead) and Mr Michael (Assistant Head of Primary – Teaching and Learning) joined Nord Anglia educators worldwide for the five‑day programme. Grounded in MIT’s Mens et Manus (“Mind and Hand”) philosophy, the experience encouraged learning by doing through research, collaboration, and practical problem‑solving.

St Andrews Bangkok's research-led approach to early years education focuses on fostering compassion and empathy. Through the Nord Anglia Metacognition Project, a study using the Harvard "See, Think, Me, We" routine demonstrated a significant increase in students' understanding of kindness, shifting their perspective from self-serving actions to genuine empathy for others.

St Andrews’ Counselling and Wellbeing team partnered with the Samut Prakan Provincial Public Health Office to deliver Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) training for government health personnel. Led by School Counsellor Mr Jump, the programme equipped frontline staff with practical skills to better support individuals facing substance use and mental health challenges. This initiative reflects the school’s commitment to extending wellbeing support beyond the classroom and making a meaningful impact in the wider Thai community.
