Elementary School

(Kindergarten to Grade 5)

A Nurturing Academic Environment

In the CMIS Elementary School, we transition students into a structured academic journey while ensuring the Four Pillars of Learning remain at the center of every classroom. We believe a strong, diverse community is the best place for a child to take the risks necessary for deep learning. Here, students begin to see themselves as Courageous Learners — thinkers who are open-minded, creative, and willing to embrace "productive struggle."

A Rigorous, Standards-Based Curriculum

Our program is built on globally recognized standards to ensure academic rigor and portability:

Core Academics

Following Common Core (Math/ELA), NGSS (Science), and AERO (Social Studies), we focus on building foundational skills through inquiry and hands-on exploration.

World Languages

All students engage in Thai Language and Culture, with instruction differentiated into Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced levels to meet the needs of our diverse student body.

Specialist Programs

Students explore their passions and develop new talents through weekly sessions in Physical Education, Music, and Art, all aligned to national standards.

Holistic Development: Safety and Well-being

We are committed to nurturing the whole child. Our curriculum intentionally includes Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Digital Citizenship, and Child Protection.

The 9 Attributes in Action

The nine core attributes are the "ways to show" our Schoolwide Learner Outcomes (SLOs). Every month, these traits are woven into the daily curriculum:
  • Collaborative and Flexible: Investing in teamwork and bridging perspectives.
  • Creative and Innovative: Celebrating risk-taking and original problem-solving.
  • Resilient: Learning to "press forward" and view mistakes as opportunities.
  • Respectful, Kind, Proactive, and Responsible: Cultivating the integrity required of Responsible Global Citizens.


Assessment: Evidence of Growth

We believe that process, progress, and product are all vital. In Elementary school, assessment is a continuous narrative of a student's journey:
  • Formative Feedback: We use Google Classroom as our primary digital hub. This allows for a real-time feedback loop between teachers and students, ensuring that "next steps" in learning are identified immediately.
  • Standards-Aligned Reporting: Through PowerSchool, we provide transparency into how students are meeting specific grade-level outcomes, ensuring that grades represent academic understanding rather than behavior.
  • External Benchmarks: We utilize MAP Growth assessments to track individual academic progress against international benchmarks, allowing us to differentiate instruction for every learner.


Partners in Growth

We maintain a transparent dialogue with families through regular conferences and digital platforms. We ask parents to join us in communicating a growth mindset, encouraging students to take ownership of their learning journey and celebrate their personal goals.
