About this school
The Purple Elephant 39 is a toddler campus of ELC International Schools, a Bangkok family of schools established in 1984 with five campuses for children from 18 months to 11 years. Located on Soi Phrom Mit off Sukhumvit 39, it occupies a restored colonial-era house with the character of old Bangkok and a playground designed for very young children.
The school serves children aged 18 months to 3 years. Its programme follows the Reggio Emilia approach, with project-based learning and purposeful play that builds social, emotional, physical, communication and early literacy and numeracy foundations. Classrooms are arranged as inviting environments with materials set out as provocations, so children can investigate ideas and share discoveries with peers, teachers and families.
The campus is close to ELC's primary campus, The City School, so many children move on there after their toddler years; some former pupils now bring their own children back. The Purple Elephant schools share co-heads, and ELC provides student support services and wellbeing professionals across its campuses.
