About this school
Kornkaew International Montessori School (KIMS) is the English-medium international campus of the Kornkaew Montessori Education Group, whose first school opened in Dusit in 1984. The Ari campus, on Soi Ari 3 in Phaya Thai, brings the group's four decades of Montessori practice into an international setting for children aged 1 to 6. The school is recognised by the Ministry of Education and assessed by ONESQA.
Teaching follows the school's own Montessori X approach, built on the Montessori method and the English Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). Children work in mixed-age groups at their own pace with authentic Montessori materials, and there are no tests; teachers assess each child regularly instead. Three strands run through the programme: a school farm where children grow vegetables and keep chickens and mealworms, a children's market and bank using KIMS coins, and a focus on entrepreneurial and social skills.
Groups are small, with an average ratio of one adult to three children, and there is a daily health check at the gate. The year runs in three terms starting in September, January and May; children need not be toilet-trained to join.
