About this school
SP International Preschool, known locally as "SP Yochien", traces its roots to a Thai kindergarten founded on the site in 1976. Its international and Japanese sections opened in November 1992, and the Japanese section was recognised as an international kindergarten by the Thai Ministry of Education in 1997. Since 2024 it has operated as SP International Preschool under a licence from the Ministry of Social Development and Human Security, and in 2025 joined a Hiroshima-based school group. The preschool moved to a new site on Soi Ekkamai 10 in late 2025.
The programme follows Japanese national kindergarten guidelines while using three languages, Japanese, English and Thai. Children from the 3-year-old class upwards have a daily ESL session led by native English-speaking teachers, and the school draws on IB Primary Years Programme ideas through a partner kindergarten in its group.
Classes run in Japanese style from a mixed class for 18-month-olds to the senior kindergarten year, each with around 20 children, with team teaching. A trial preschool programme on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays caters for younger children not yet enrolled. It is ONESQA-accredited.
