ELC International Schools launches The Dove Centre at The City School
Pioneering a new standard of inclusive education in Bangkok

ELC International Schools recently announced the opening of The Dove Centre at The City School, launching a new era of inclusive education in Bangkok by offering personalised learning experiences tailored for children with special educational needs.
The Dove Centre is an extension of The City School that provides specialised support for children who benefit from a more structured environment. With small class sizes of just four to six children, each receives highly personalised attention and support from a dedicated team of educators, therapists, and learning specialists.
April Beresford, Head of Teaching and Learning at The Dove Centre shares her excitement in regards to the introduction of the new programme.
“We are proud to introduce The Dove Centre, an extension of The City School, which furthers our commitment to providing specialised support for children who benefit from a more tailored and structured environment.
“We believe that every child deserves an education that is as unique as they are, using a holistic approach that fosters independence and confidence, ensuring they reach their full potential in diverse educational settings.”
Empowering each and every child
For over 40 years, ELC International Schools has been a leader in personalised, child-centred education, ensuring that every child learns in an environment where they feel safe, valued, and inspired to learn.
The Dove Centre furthers this commitment by offering specialised spaces, dedicated educators, and individualised support to ensure that children who need additional structure can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally while becoming an integral part of a vibrant educational community.
The Dove Centre, as an extension of The City School, provides meaningful opportunities for interaction and shared experiences so that as students grow, they can gradually transition between learning spaces when appropriate, ensuring an approach that evolves with each child’s needs.
Designed to build confidence, independence, and a love for learning, The Dove Centre integrates individualised curriculum plans, evidence-based teaching methods, sensory-friendly spaces, and adaptive learning tools to create a truly inclusive environment.
Its curriculum balances academic growth with functional life skills, empowering children to learn naturally and equipping them with the confidence, independence, and knowledge necessary for learning and personal success.
Through this more intensive and comprehensive support system, The Dove Centre aims to help each child achieve their goals and become a well-rounded individual.
Partnership with parents and families
At ELC, families are at the heart of every child’s journey as we believe that education is a partnership. That’s why we collaborate closely with parents to create a supportive learning experience that extends beyond the classroom.
By pioneering a new standard for inclusive education in Thailand, The City School and The Dove Centre are redefining how schools adapt to each student’s unique special needs and empower every child to reach their full potential.
