On Friday 27th May, the Maths department welcomed Dr Jamie Frost to St Andrews.
Dr Frost, previously a PhD student at Oxford University and founder of Dr Frost Maths, is currently on a tour of South-East Asian schools. His website, https://www.drfrostmaths.com/, reached new levels of engagement during the pandemic resulting in Dr Frost being awarded the Covid Hero Award at the Global Teacher Prize Awards Ceremony, in special recognition of "someone who has gone above and beyond to keep young people learning during the COVID-19 pandemic".
Dr Frost was very excited to meet our students and was able to give an assembly to Year 9 during their Wellbeing lesson. He explored career routes, shared his daily use of mathematics and gave some advice to our students going forward in both their studies and future careers.
In addition, Dr Frost taught an exclusive lesson to one of our Year 8 classes. During this lesson, they studied robot routes in order to explore the concept of probability.
The excitement was reciprocated by our students with Dr Frost signing a significant number of calculators; it was great to see so many students excited to meet the creator of the website they use so frequently.
In the afternoon, St Andrews welcomed Maths teachers from other International Schools in Bangkok and Pattaya and Bangkok, when we were able to share our experiences using the platform so that going forward we continue to utilise it to its maximum potential. Additionally, Dr Frost shared the new upgrade ‘Dr Frost 5.0’ that our students will experience next year.

As Term 3 comes to an end, three senior students, Eleonore, Natalie, and Ananya, reflect on their experiences in the IB Diploma Programme at St Andrews International School Bangkok. Perhaps one of the most meaningful projects Ananya and Natalie took on during their senior studies was starting a foundation with a few other friends called Today4tomorrow – an initiative to provide opportunities to underprivileged girls in Thailand.
Congratulations to St Andrews senior student Natalie, who received an offer at the University of Bath to pursue a degree in Psychology. Have a read to learn more about Natalie’s perspective on the IB Diploma Programme and the endless possibilities that await her exploration.
Congratulations to senior student Ananya, who received an offer at University College London to pursue a degree in Politics and International Relations. We discussed her experience during the IB Diploma Programme at St Andrews and her ideas and aspirations for the future. Read on!
Congratulations to St Andrews senior student Eleonore, who is off to Glion Institute of Higher Education to pursue a degree in Business. Have a read to learn more about Eleonore’s IB Diploma journey, unique learning experience, and what she looks forward to the most in her next chapter.
