Welcome by Head of School

​Dear Parents, Guardians and Prospective Students

​​

At Astra Academy we are at the beginning of an exciting journey. We are building a school that looks firmly to the future and one that inspires passion, develops purpose and opens up possibility for every student.

​

Education here is about more than examination results. Of course, we want our students to achieve highly but we also want them to grow in confidence, resilience and character. Through the Choose Respect Charter our students learn that respect is the foundation of a thriving community. Through our Learner Profile they develop the skills and intelligences that will prepare them for a world being reshaped by Artificial Intelligence and global change. These are the qualities that cannot be automated — creativity, ethical judgement, collaboration, curiosity and leadership.

​

Learning at Astra is active, experiential and connected to the real world. Our students take part in projects that matter, create Personal Impact Statements that help them understand who they are and what difference they want to make and are encouraged to see learning as a lifelong process.

​

We are a medium-sized school with a close-knit family feel where every student is known and valued. At the same time we are ambitious for our students and for the contribution they can make to the wider world. We want them to leave Astra not only with excellent results but with the confidence to live lives of meaning and impact.

​

If this resonates with your family I look forward to welcoming you to our campus and sharing more about what makes Astra a unique and future focused choice in Bangkok.

 

Best Wishes,

Richard Davidson
