About this school
XCL American School of Bangkok (ASB) Sukhumvit traces its history to 1983, when Mrs. Lakhana Tavedikul founded Didyasarin International Kindergarten with 10 students. By 1995 it had grown into Didyasarin International School, covering pre-kindergarten to middle school, and the Sukhumvit campus was expanded with Ministry of Education approval to accommodate 500 students. The school later became the American School of Bangkok, joined the XCL Education network in 2022, and launched a refreshed identity in 2024, its 40th year.
The campus off Sukhumvit Soi 49 serves students from Pre-Kindergarten through High School, organised into Early Years, Elementary, Middle School and High School. Teaching follows American standards with an emphasis on project-based and inquiry learning, and high school students can take Advanced Placement (AP) courses. An English Language Learner (ELL) programme supports students who are building their English, and a separate Japanese Kindergarten programme operates under the ASB name.
The student body includes more than 40 nationalities, with no single nationality forming a majority. The school is close to public transport and runs a school bus service.
