About this school
The Purple Elephant 49 is one of the toddler campuses of ELC International Schools, a Bangkok family of schools established in 1984 that runs five campuses for children from 18 months to 11 years. Set on Soi Sukhumvit 49/13 near Phrom Phong, it was the newest addition to ELC's Purple Elephant schools and is built around a bamboo forest that gives the campus a calm, garden setting.
The school serves children aged 18 months to 3 years and is distinctive within the group for its trilingual programme: children are exposed to English, Mandarin and Thai and the cultures behind them, building early cross-cultural friendships. Learning follows the Reggio Emilia approach, with project-based inquiry and purposeful play supporting social, emotional, physical, communication and cognitive development.
The campus includes garden and grass play areas, indoor classrooms set up for constructive play and an atelier of light where children explore light, shadow and materials. ELC's student services and wellbeing professionals support children and families across the group, which also includes The City School for kindergarten and primary-age children.
