At ELC International Schools Bangkok, inclusion and belonging are at the heart of daily life. We believe every child is capable, curious, and full of potential, and it is our responsibility as a whole school to nurture that potential so every child feels safe, seen, and supported.
What is the Dove Programme?
Dove is part of ELC’s Student Services & Wellbeing (SSW) at The City School. It offers a small-group learning environment for children who benefit from more personalised support—so each child is understood, celebrated, and empowered to thrive. Dove is not a separate school; it’s one of the ways we make ELC more accessible and responsive for diverse learners within our community.
Grounded in Reggio, shaped by community
Rooted in the Reggio Emilia philosophy and ELC’s community promises, Dove reflects our belief that differences are not barriers but guides for how we personalise learning. Classrooms are nurturing, responsive spaces where education, care, and wellbeing come together. We document learning so growth (academic, social, and emotional) is visible over time.
How learning looks
A child’s week can blends time in their class community with focused small-group sessions. Our SSW team co-plans with class teachers to align goals, adapt environments, and integrate support through the project work ELC is known for. When helpful, we partner with families and allied professionals to ensure continuity of strategies at home and at school.
Why it matters
Our aim is simple and ambitious: create pathways where children flourish—academically, socially, and emotionally—while experiencing a true sense of belonging in the ELC community.
Partnership with parents & families
At ELC International Schools, we believe that education is a partnership. Families are at the heart of every child’s journey, and we work closely with parents to create a supportive learning experience that extends beyond the classroom.
By pioneering a new standard for inclusive education in Thailand, ELC is reshaping how schools adapt to every child’s unique needs, ensuring that each student is empowered to thrive, grow, and succeed.
