Our Middle Loop program which is equivalent to an international middle school in Bangkok, is built on the foundational academic skills and learning experiences developed in the Lower Loop. Learning is self-directed and highly project-based, building confidence, communication, creativity to develop future-ready skills.
Our international middle school curriculum is built on the foundational academic skills and learning experiences developed in the Lower Loop. Learning Labs have a stronger emphasis on math, English, science, well-being and design. Learning is self-directed and highly project-based, building confidence, communication, creativity to develop future-ready skills.
Learners have mentors and experts guiding them through a purposeful process that is challenging and demanding in the way of setting goals and revising constant feedback on their progress.
Learners at this age begin to develop strong opinions, personal traits and qualities which we will support, share, and learn about together. They will actively engage with learning experiences that also go beyond the walls, allowing them to authentically apply their learning to real-world settings, which deepens their connection and understanding of the world in which they live. The driving purpose in our international middle school in Bangkok is to provide experiences where students can experiment with ideas and questions to discover their passion and purpose. As they transition to Upper Loop, students bring a sense of identity and exploration they will further cultivate and shape.

Below are key points that distinguish the performance of Novice, Intermediate, and Advanced language learners in reading, writing, speaking and listening. The description outlines the range of performance for the given mode of communication: interpersonal, interpretive, or presentational.
Robotics is very popular among our learners and combines engineering and programming in a fun and interactive way while introducing them to 21st century skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, goal setting, teamwork, creativity and communication.
At VERSO’s middle school in Bangkok, our students work in teams to build robots independently using the VEX IQ Robotics system. They build their own robot prototypes to learn about typical robot parts such as gears, motors, and sensors, as well as how to programme robots for autonomous operation.
Student-led VERSO Robotics Teams provide a pathway for students who want to further explore robotics through established competitions. Our VERSObotics team has participated in several scrimmages and competitions with other international schools in Thailand, including the VEX IQ Robotics Challenge, an annual robotics competition format that is popular worldwide.
Middle Loop build and code VEX IQ Robots to compete in competitions against other international schools in Thailand. Learners develop logical thinking, problem solving, perseverance and team working skills as they work to build, code, and compete with their robots.
