The nuts and bolts.

The small practical things that make the day run smoothly: where to park, when the day starts and ends, what to send, and who to call. Read this once and the rest of the year takes care of itself.

Getting here
The family car park, on soi Torsak
For families who self-drive only: there is no car park for families with drivers. Soi Torsak runs alongside the ELC offices opposite the school, and the car park is about 50 metres down on the right.

Easy Parking, on Thong Lor 13
A second option if you self-drive: 32 Akkhara Phat Alley, opposite Nihonmura and beside KC Court on soi 49/13. A two minute walk to school.

SOI
The back entrance on soi 53
Drop-off and pick-up only: there is no parking here, and car access beyond soi Renoo is for local residents only. Please follow our guards' directions. Bikes may park at the back gate during drop-off and pick-up.
How drop-off and hometime run
The rhythm of the day and who may collect your child live on the arrival page.

The school bus
Bus places are arranged during admissions, not on the portal. The bus page explains how the service runs day to day, and who to call when something changes.

The school day
TIME
School day times
Start and end times differ by year group, and your class teacher confirms your child's exact times with you. When something changes, your campus shares it and it is posted as a banner on this site.
Snacks and lunches
The school provides a balanced snack each day, and families provide lunch. Label lunches clearly with your child's name and class, especially if delivering to school. Boxes arrive in the late morning, before lunchtime. Two providers deliver lunch boxes to school: read how ordering works.
Lunch
PE and swimming travel
Children in Y2 to Y6 travel with their teachers to a nearby partner facility for PE through the year. Swimming starts in Y2: children travel to a partner pool for 12 week blocks of lessons. Your class teacher confirms the details with you.
PLAY
The gardens, before and after school
Open before school and again after school. Children in the gardens outside school hours must be supervised by a parent or carer, including K1 children playing before the K1 day begins. The office confirms opening times.
The library
Search the catalogue from home, and how borrowing works. Children need an adult with them before and after school.

What your child needs
Footwear that lets them run
Fully enclosed shoes for outside play and PE. Keep a pair of slip-on shoes at school for moving to specialist classes, and if your child likes socks indoors, choose socks with grips for safety.
The PE kit
Every year group wears the ELC PE kit on PE days: a shirt and shorts, 200 baht a piece. Drop into the office with your child to try the sample sizes and buy on the spot, or email the office to arrange it: the teaching assistants check the size with your child and the kit comes home in their bag. Sizes run from SS to adult S, and you are welcome to swap a size that does not fit.
Medicine goes to the nurse, never the bag
Keep medical information and vaccinations updated with our nurse. Medicine must never travel to and from school in a child's bag: a parent or caregiver hands it to the nurse, clearly labelled from a doctor. Nurse Apple:
Good to know
Photos, and getting onto campus
As part of safeguarding, no photos or videos on campus unless it is a special event: the thinking lives on the photographs page. To enter campus, wear your lanyard visibly. Forgot it? You will be asked to leave your ID card and scan to sign in.
Reaching the school
For urgent matters, call the office. Everything else flows through your class teacher, coordinator, or administrator by email.
How paying works
Activities and trips are paid in person at the office: the how to pay page walks through it.
View
Information sessions
Meet your year group's coordinators and administrators and hear how the year runs. Each session's slides are on the page afterwards.
View
The parent handbook holds the rest
Anything not answered here lives in the handbook, and every policy sits in the documents section of the Parent App.
