KIS International School Bangkok offers the full International Baccalaureate (IB) continuum across all year groups (ages 2-19). The school provides EY Prep for students aged 2. The curriculum begins with the Primary Years Programme (PYP) from Early Years 1 (age 3) to Grade 5, focusing on inquiry-based learning and foundational skills. Students in Grades 6–10 follow the Middle Years Programme (MYP), which combines academic study with interdisciplinary learning and project work. In Grades 11 and 12, students choose between the IB Diploma Programme (DP) or the IB Career-related Programme (CP), both of which prepare students for university or professional pathways. The language of instruction is English, with Thai language taught throughout and additional languages such as Mandarin or Spanish introduced from the primary level. The curriculum is supported by specialist teaching in areas such as music, physical education, design, and the arts.

KIS implements a comprehensive SEL program grounded in the CASEL framework. In the Primary Division, counselors deliver in-class lessons, individual and small group sessions, and parent workshops to promote emotional literacy and a sense of belonging. In the Secondary Division, counseling focuses on transitions, emotional regulation, resilience, and study skills, aiming to support students' academic and personal development.

KIS offers support for students with mild to moderate learning needs through differentiated instruction, personalized learning plans, one-on-one support, small-group instruction, and access to specialists when appropriate. However, the school is not a specialist SEN institution.

KIS provides EAL support to help non-native English speakers attain the proficiency required to participate fully in the IB program. In the Primary Years Programme (PYP), students from EY3 to Grade 5 receive EAL support during the regular school day, either in the classroom or through individual or small group sessions.

KIS supports students' mental wellbeing through its counseling and wellbeing programs, which include in-class lessons, individual and small group sessions, and parent workshops. These programs aim to promote emotional literacy, resilience, and a sense of belonging among students.
