Facilities

Wells International School’s On Nut campus currently serves approximately 330 primary and secondary students and is able to accommodate a total student population of 650. Located on Sukhumvit Road between soi 85 and soi 87, it is easily accessible by both car and BTS. The campus is designed to be both aesthetically pleasing and practical, with all locations within the school being easily accessible.

In an effort to make the school as welcoming as possible, the main office is located immediately to the right upon entering the school. The cafe and lounge that adjoin it are available for use whenever the school is open, and both students and parents are encouraged to make use of them for conferences with teachers, discussions with administrators or simple relaxation. School announcements and events are posted regularly on the bulletin boards near the entrance and in the lounges, and copies of On Nut’s student-produced publications, 85 Magazine and Wells Tribune, are also available.

Classes are held in the 30 classrooms on the first and second floors of the school, and each room is designed to facilitate optimal learning. The maximum number of students per class is set at 25, and most classes contain an average of 15. Virtually all teachers at On Nut arrange their rooms to facilitate group work and cooperative learning, and they make every effort to design the rooms to be accessible and welcoming for students. Additionally, every classroom is equipped with a computer connected to a widescreen, wall-mounted television in an effort to incorporate the use of modern technology into lessons.

In addition to the standard classrooms, the campus also houses a fully equipped, modern science laboratory stocked with both traditional and technologically advanced equipment. Four fully functional computer labs contain 170 new computers, all available for use by students in both computer classes and in other subject areas. Proper use of all computers is ensured through the incorporation of a monitoring and remote control program that can track student usage and lock any computer at the press of a button.

The school library contains over 5000 fiction and non-fiction titles and is always in the process of expanding its selection even more. All books are tracked through the use of the OpenBiblio library system, making it easy to locate every title. Several computers are available for use, and all students have access to EBSCOHost, an online database that provides access to millions of articles in hundreds of journals and periodicals. While used primarily for pleasure or research, the library is also used by Wells counselors for the values education lessons that occur weekly for both primary and secondary students.

To ensure the safety and well-being of the students, the school employs a full-time, certified nurse to operate the school’s clinic, which is fully equipped with first aid supplies and contains four beds for students who require rest due to illness or minor injuries. Recognizing that mental and social health are equally important, one full-time and two part-time school counselors provide advice to students in the counseling room. All students are encouraged to visit counselors with any issues or concerns they may be experiencing.

The school cafeteria can accommodate 130 students, and additional seating is provided in nearby areas. Students are served lunch over three separate periods, and a wide range of buffet-style selections is available to them. Proper food preparation techniques are strictly observed, and every effort is made to ensure that high quality, healthy choices are available. MSG (monosodium glutamate) is not present in any of the prepared items, and vegetarian dishes are always available.

Two centrally located fields provide students with areas to play sports or relax. A wide range of activities is supported through the availability of a soccer pitch, four basketball hoops, two badminton nets, six table tennis sets and other playground equipment. Students may also study or socialize at the picnic tables located between the fields, and the surrounding area is resplendent with trees, flowers and other plants in order to enhance the natural beauty.
