10 reasons why DBS is a great choice for students

DBS explained that parents need to start looking for a good school for their children from the very beginning because good education is a legacy they can give to their offspring.

Denla British School (DBS), an international school in Nonthaburi's Pak Kret district, reveals the 10 reasons why parents have confidence in it and why it was named Thailand’s top international school in 2019.

DBS explained that parents need to start looking for a good school for their children from the very beginning because good education is a legacy they can give to their offspring.

“DBS is a leading international school with expertise in providing an enhanced curriculum similar to private schools in Britain,” DBS said. “Citing statistics, 51 per cent of students from private schools in Britain have won A or A+ in their A-level exams.”

10 reasons why DBS is a great choice for students

Here are then 10 reasons why DBS is a preferred school:

• Enhanced UK curriculum: This system gives students a chance to reach their highest potential through rapid development. Teachers are native English speakers who meet British curriculum standards, hold a degree in specific fields and have at least two years experience.

• Personalised learning: The curriculum gives each student a chance to find and develop their unique talents. Students are taught based on their skills and interest to encourage them to achieve their goals.

• Extended school day: DBS keeps students on campus for an extra hour so they can focus on extracurricular activities such as robotics, literature, art, music and sports. This gives them a chance to develop soft skills and bond with teachers and classmates.

• More than just English: Apart from covering basic subjects like the English language, mathematics, science, geography, history and physical education, additional courses like computer, music, art and Chinese are also provided.

• GL assessment: Apart from daily, semester and annual exams, DBS also conducts GL (Granada learning) assessments to check students’ potential and if they need any special assistance. With rigorous lessons and a balance between academic and skill-building activities, this curriculum can be used as a passport to study in universities worldwide, including the US, UK, Australia, Europe and Canada.

• World-class facilities: Classrooms at DBS are 50-per-cent larger than in other international schools and more than 40 facilities are provided, such as football fields, running tracks, indoor swimming pool, gymnastic room, tennis court, playgrounds, music rooms, workshops and library. The school’s third sports complex was completed recently.

• House system: Students are divided into four houses to build leadership and cooperation between freshmen and seniors through activities and competitions. The houses are named after palaces owned by the British monarchy, namely Buckingham, Sandringham, Windsor and Balmoral.

• Pastoral care: To ensure students’ well-being, teachers take care of and provide advice to each student personally. They also keep parents updated about their child’s progress.

• Apple distinguished school: DBS uses Apple devices as teaching materials. Mac lab and Mac’s makerspace are also provided to encourage students to use technology for innovation, such as 3D printing, programming and coding.

• Approved international standards: DBS has been approved by the International Schools Association of Thailand and the Council of International Schools in educational standards. The school was also named the best international school in Bangkok and Thailand by World Schools in 2019 and the top international school in the country by The Excelligent in the same year.
