Understanding Curriculums with Japanese Glossaries

When considering an international school for your children, you most likely are looking into the facilities, the co-curricular activities, university acceptances, and of course, the curriculum. But doing so with English as a second language can be difficult. 

Our native language coordinator has offered some glossaries - compliments of NYS Statewide Language Regional Bilingual Education Resource Network - which can help parents understand what their children are learning.

What do the Japanese Glossaries Cover?

The Japanese glossaries linked in the section below provide translations to commonly used terms for each subject. 

By clicking the links, you’ll have access to a downloadable resource to help you have the words to better understand what your children may be learning at International School Bangkok (ISB) in the language you’re most comfortable speaking. 

These terms will not only help you understand our curriculum, they’ll also help you communicate with your children about their learning and their teachers to see how your children are doing in school.

Learning at International School Bangkok 

At ISB, we teach our students in a way that is both meaningful and transferable, where a student’s understanding is built through developing and applying knowledge, skills, and attitudes.  

To instill this type of learning, we have a dedicated curriculum specialist on campus, as part of our Learning Design Center, who focuses on bringing the best opportunities to our students. Alongside our ISB Curriculum, we offer the International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Program (DP).
