WELCOME TO THE SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
MIDDLE SCHOOL
In Middle School, we have a bespoke package that caters to the needs of our students. Our curriculum follows the NGSS (Next Generation Science Standards) Curriculum, blended with the Thai MOE science standards. We have an excellent resource available to complement this: FOSS – The Full Option Science System. This is an investigation driven approach that centers around Big Ideas of Science and real-world questions. Students carry out practical activities and try to reach answers by working scientifically. Our students are not expected to sit and memorize/rote learn terms from a textbook, but instead, think critically to apply scientific skills and concepts to real-world situations.
HIGH SCHOOL
In High School, we have a range of courses available of which some are elective and some are core. All students will study our core High School Science courses which are Biology, Chemistry and Physics. These courses serve as a foundation for further scientific study and follow the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) blended with the Thai MOE standards. Our state of the art science labs and experienced and qualified teachers spark curiosity in our students as they explore experimental design, data collection, evaluation and try to solve real-world dilemmas in the laboratory. We understand the importance of University entrance which is why some students will choose to take the SAT exam. Our approach of giving students exposure and practice of this style of assessment early on helps to ensure their success.
WELCOME TO THE SCIENCE DEPARTMENT
KMIDS has fully equipped, safe, state of the art science laboratories with equipment not often seen in school science labs such as: fume hoods, incubators, industrial balances, Olympus microscopes and Vernier LabQuest. Students spend a lot of time in the labs in order to learn how to work scientifically in an inquiry based environment. We are confident that our approach of teaching our students to be innovative scientists instead of memorizing facts will pay off in the future. We train our scientists to have transferable skills in data analysis, evaluation, experimental design and critical thinking.
