2024 has been a stellar year for Anglo Singapore International School, distinguished on the global stage at the Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards. Among its many triumphs, one accolade gleamed the brightest: the coveted “Best Across Three” award bestowed on a student for outstanding A Level performance. This honor, reserved for individuals with top scores across three A Level subjects, celebrated Mr. Nonthapat Upariputtanggoon, who has since embarked on his academic journey in Engineering at the University of Cambridge, UK. His exceptional achievement crowned him as the leading A Level student by Cambridge International Education.
Beyond this prestigious accolade, Anglo Singapore International School gloried in seven other remarkable recognitions:
- Top in the World for A Level Chemistry
- Top in the World for A Level Mathematics
- Top in the World for A Level Physics
- Top in the World for IGCSE Foreign Language Mandarin Chinese
- Top in Thailand for A Level Biology
- High Achievement in A Level Psychology
- High Achievement in AS Level Further Mathematics
Despite its relative youth as an international education institution in Thailand, Anglo Singapore International School has consistently manifested its dedication to academic superiority. Over the past ten graduating classes, students have recurrently been recognized at the Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards. Recently, Anglo embraced a redefined educational philosophy, transitioning from its roots as a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) leader to an avant-garde institution championing the STEAM-B model—insightfully weaving Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics with an astute focus on Business. This forward-thinking approach merges creativity with business insight, empowering students with critical thinking and creativity skills imperative for navigating today’s ever-evolving world.
To support this groundbreaking model, Anglo instituted the Anglo Pathway Programme, an innovative mentorship initiative revolutionizing pastoral care. With a personal touch, it offers a 1:10 mentor-student ratio, spanning five pivotal pathways: Medicine and Life Sciences, Engineering and Sciences, Behavioral Sciences and Commerce, Art & Design, and Computer Science. This structured, individualized mentorship ensures that each Anglo student pursues a path aligned with their unique dreams and goals.
The STEAM-B educational paradigm, complemented by the Anglo Pathway Programme, has inspired a diverse range of career aspirations among Anglo graduates—33% marching towards Medicine, another 33% toward Behavioral Science and Commerce, 19% delve into Engineering and Sciences, 10% enter the realm of Computer Science, and 5% embrace Art & Design. This spectrum reflects Anglo’s unwavering commitment to equipping students for a vast array of future prospects.
To commemorate these achievements, Anglo proudly unveiled its state-of-the-art 6-storey Building H. This avant-garde facility is poised to redefine educational history by transforming conventional classrooms into dynamic “Learning Studios.” Inside, students will find a purpose-built gymnasium sporting two basketball courts, six badminton courts, two volleyball courts, and a running track. Specialized laboratories for Biology, Physics, and Chemistry offer real-world, hands-on scientific exploration. Redesigned communal spaces foster study and leisure while the dedicated study hall provides a sanctuary for intense study and review.
At Anglo, teaching and learning are steered by our foundational 2Ps: Pedagogy and Physical Space, paired with High Quality Learning (HQL). These principles transcend the typical classroom setup, encouraging interaction, collaborative learning, and student-centric teaching. Our lesson plans champion personalized education, transitioning from instruction to practice, application, and reflection. This methodology focuses on both abstract and tangible learning, ensuring pupils attain knowledge extending beyond lectures and rote curriculum to develop a profound understanding and skill set.
This building manifests Anglo’s unwavering drive to cultivate learning and personal development, enhancing student life through exceptional facilities. By embedding the STEAM-B curriculum and the Anglo Pathway Programme, Anglo Singapore International School is trailblazing a path for the upcoming generation of global thinkers, innovators, and leaders.

It’s impressive to see how Anglo Singapore International School has managed to achieve such success on a global level. The STEAM-B approach sounds like a fantastic blend of disciplines.
I’m not convinced by the whole STEAM-B model. Does adding ‘Arts’ and ‘Business’ really warrant a new name? Feels like marketing talk to me.
While it might seem that way, integrating arts can enhance creativity and innovation, which are crucial in today’s job market, don’t you think?
True, but balancing sciences and creativity can genuinely prepare students better for the challenges of modern industries.
Are we sure that students actually benefit from a 1:10 mentor-student ratio? It sounds ideal, but can schools really maintain that without compromising quality?
Theoretically, smaller ratios should indeed help with personal attention, but it’s also important how effective those mentors actually are.
What a remarkable achievement for Nonthapat Upariputtanggoon! Gaining recognition on the Cambridge stage is no small feat.
It is great for the student, but we should question if such high-pressure environments really serve the broader student body well.
This feels like yet another example of an education system that’s only accessible for the elite. What about equal opportunities for all students?
I agree. Educational institutions should focus more on fostering growth for all students, not just those who can afford it.
Top in the world in subjects like A Level Chemistry, Mathematics, and Physics? That’s very impressive! Could this school be the MIT of high schools?
Possibly, but remember that rankings have their limitations. Numbers alone do not reflect the real experience of education.
The new building sounds amazing, but shouldn’t these resources be used to equally enhance all areas, not just STEM heavy ones?
It’s still important for schools to prioritize infrastructure across various subjects, although STEM’s benefits cannot be ignored in today’s tech-driven world.
The focus on Business sounds more like grooming future corporate workers than global thinkers.
Isn’t equipping students with business knowledge essential in an ever-competitive global economy though?
This is how education should be: interactive, collaborative and student-centered. Not just rote learning!
Exactly! Schools should adopt such methods more broadly. Standardized testing just stifles creativity.
I just hope this isn’t all hype. I’ve seen schools promise the world but fail to deliver on these ‘innovative’ ideas.
It’s good to see educational institutions prioritizing students’ personal growth over just academic excellence.
True. Education should mold well-rounded individuals, not just top scholars.
Imagine having access to facilities like that gymnasium. Physical education should be given as much importance as academics.
The fact they maintained accolades over ten graduating classes is testament enough. But can they sustain this long-term?
All this talk about superior education is moot without considering mental health resources. How does Anglo plan to address stress?
Think about how this sets a standard. Other schools need to follow their lead on melding physical space with pedagogy.
It would be great to see more public schools implement similar path-aligned mentorship programs.
Honestly, such focused streams can sometimes pigeonhole students too early in their academic careers.
At its core, Anglo’s approach seems innovative. The execution and genuine accessibility will determine its real success.
