4 MINDSETs

5 LEARNING  JOURNEY

Our school is built on three simple beliefs.

IDENTITY

There is a demand for an international education rooted in a strong sense of personal and cultural identity.

An international education exposes students to a rich, intercultural environment. To navigate that environment with authenticity and confidence, we support our learners as they seek to understand who they are, how they are connected to the cultures around them, and where they will go next.  

DNA 3

CONFIDENCE

Tomorrow’s world demands the confidence and skills to lead your own journey, both in school and beyond.

Once our learners graduate from school, they are asked to make choices that shape their life-journey. It takes years to develop the skills of decision-making and self-direction, so we believe it’s important to start early.

We focus on the development of four student mindsets and behaviors.

CURIOUS
TO EXPLORE

VERSO learners have an insatiable curiosity to learn about the world around them.

EQUIPPED
TO TRANSITION

Our learners know how to dig into a new setting and bring their learning and confidence anywhere. They have a level of academic achievement and preparedness that leaves all doors open to them.

Five key experiences will shape our students’ learning journey.

MAKING LEARNING IMMERSIVE THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS AND CONNECTIONS BEYOND CAMPUS

Engaging with the world enables our VERSO learners to gain empathy and understanding of cultures around them. Through an immersive and experiential approach to learning, VERSO students will find their places in the world and make a meaningful contribution and build authentic relationships.

APPLYING LEARNING TO REAL WORLD SITUATIONS

Applied learning experiences (ALX) are designed for our VERSO learners to build skills and knowledge in project-based, multidisciplinary environments. When our learners consistently apply what they learn, they master future focused skills and critical thinking.

EMPOWERING STUDENTS TO LEAD AND MANAGE THEIR OWN LEARNING

Each of our learners navigate their own learning through an interactive and digital Course Compass (CoCo) platform. They are offered multiple paths to set and achieve their goals and can track their own progress over time. This gives VERSO learners the confidence to make choices and map their own learning, both within and outside school walls. Parents can access and support their child’s learning journey through the CoCo.

REFLECTING, DEMONSTRATING AND CELEBRATING STUDENT WORK

At VERSO, feedback and reflection happens constantly. Regular and diverse ways of learning gives learners an opportunity to demonstrate learning. Students demonstrate and share their learning through regular public exhibitions and showcase events. We value the curation and celebration of students' work with specially designed gallery and exhibition spaces throughout the campus.

HONORING THE THAI VALUE OF KINDNESS

Nam-jai is a Thai word that literally means “water of the heart” and is an important value in Thai culture. This refers to genuine acts of kindness and generosity that come straight from the heart, without expecting anything in return. We intentionally encourage acts of kindness to foster empathy, compassion and humility in our students. At VERSO, our students learn to connect deeply with others and experience a sense of belonging.

We partnered with IDEO, one of the world’s leading design and innovation companies from San Francisco, to develop our conceptual blueprint and DNA.

We identified an urgent need for schools to become much more adaptive, innovative, and responsive to change.

We recognized that while our world was evolving at unprecedented speed, educational systems remained largely unchanged. To bridge this gap, we collaborated with IDEO to reimagine schooling for today's world.

Our four-month research journey spanned innovative schools across the US, Hong Kong, Singapore, and Thailand.

We explored crucial questions: How could we create a school that's both responsive to Thailand and internationally minded? How might we foster an environment that encourages experimentation and continuous evolution?

Working with IDEO's human-centered design process, we tested prototype models with Bangkok families. This collaborative journey crystallized into three core beliefs that now form VERSO's foundation.
