School Procedures

Academic Year

The academic year at Ekamai International School is divided into two terms: August -December and January – May. 

Within each term, there are instructional days, standardized test and examinations. 

Below is the scheduled quarterly exams:



Daily Time Schedule

Schedule

Students are given their class schedules on the first day of classes. The school starts at 6:55 am and ends at 2:20 pm.

Weekly Time Schedule

Chapel Period (Shortened Period)

All students must attend the chapel period and sit quietly in their assigned seats. Mobile phones or any electronic devices are not allowed. Food of any type, including snacks or drinks, should not be taken to the chapel. The consequence of being absent will be determined by the Section Principal.


Arrival and Departure

Please allow plenty of time to travel to school as Bangkok traffic can cause your child to be late and thus cause disruption to classes and their own education. All students should report directly to the covered court upon arrival at school. They may leave their bags in front of the classroom or lockers and then proceed to the covered court to prepare for the flag line-up at 6:55 am, where teachers take attendance. At 7:00, students are expected to be ready for the national anthem, bible verse, and prayer. Students arriving from 6:55 am- 7:00 am are considered absent for flag line-up. Students can leave school at 2:20 pm. 

Early Leave

A parent or guardian must give permission with a note or by e-mail or come in person for a student to leave school before the end of the school day. With written permission, the administration may also call the parent to confirm the request. The student must get a 'Green Slip' (Leave Ground Slip) from the Principal's office. The Leave Ground Slip and their student ID card will be presented to the guard when leaving the school campus.
