About this school
The Purple Elephant 55 is one of the toddler campuses of ELC International Schools, a Bangkok family of schools established in 1984 that operates five campuses for children from 18 months to 11 years. It sits at the end of a quiet lane on Soi Thong Lo 8 in Watthana, in the residential heart of the city where most ELC schools are located.
The school serves children aged 18 months to 3 years. Following the Reggio Emilia approach, teachers build learning around relationships, project-based inquiry and purposeful play, with spaces and materials arranged to invite exploration and dialogue. The programme supports social, emotional, physical, communication and cognitive development and lays foundations for later literacy and numeracy.
The building uses glass to link indoor and outdoor spaces, reflecting the school's focus on connection, and a bamboo play structure brings natural and repurposed materials into the garden. The campus has a sand play area, garden and calm classrooms. The Purple Elephant schools share co-heads, and ELC's student services and wellbeing team supports children and families across the group.
