ES Hybrid Model Community Handbook
- Hybrid Learning occurs when campus is able to be open with reduced numbers. In September 2021, ISB was approved to be open at 50% capacity. In this case a hybrid model is put into place where students are engaged in both on campus and virtual learning.
- Virtual School is the model for learning when all students are learning at home.
- Virtual Learning occurs when campus is open and a few students are not able to come to campus (ie: in transit from another country, in quarantine).
Please find the link to the ES Community Hybrid Model Handbook via the ISB website: https://www.isb.ac.th/learning-isb/isb-virtual-school/
On Campus Cohort Schedule
All ES students are assigned to an A (Black) or B (Gold) cohort. These cohorts come to campus every other day following an A/B rotation. Homeroom teachers will share daily virtual schedules for students not coming to campus.

ISB Athletics and Panther Activities are back on October 18th!
Dear ISB Parents and Students,
As hinted at in the October 6th ISB Update from Dr. Davies, ISB Athletics, in partnership with Panther Activities, will be offering two weeks of Hybrid Activities, for free, after school starting October 18th and running initially through October 29th. While the current restrictions have provided some challenges for how and what we can offer after school, we are excited to provide a selection of sports and activities to students from PK-G12. We hope that these activities provide a positive outlet for all who choose to participate.
Registration for these programs can be found HERE.
Confirmation and information about locations will be sent to registered participants at the end of the October break.
Questions? Please reach out to any of us on the Hybrid Activities Team at chrism@isb.ac.th, lucasr@isb.ac.th, markj@isb.ac.th, anthonyg@isb.ac.th, or PantherActivties@isb.ac.th.
Sincerely,
Chris, Lucas, Mark and Tony
