When it comes to architecture and design, Kensington is known to take it seriously and creatively!
As Kensington International Kindergarten is famous for being one of the world’s most creatively-designed kindergartens, Kensington Learning Space (KLS) shares the same aesthetic passion and takes it to another level.
The concept of a ‘Learning Space’ where learning is meant to be FUN and UNLIMITED plays a central role in our design process and is translated to the iconic spiral shape, which represents growth, strength and sustainability. We know children learn best when they are engaged; so we don’t just make a building, but a learning environment, intentionally designed to cause intrigue.
KLS is not only a futuristic, beautiful building, but it was built meticulously to stimulate learning everywhere as the ‘Space’ that brings children’s limitless imaginations closer to reality.
OUR SPACE
THE SPACE THAT BRINGS
IMAGINATION CLOSER
TO REALITY
THE SPIRAL OF GROWTH
A Spiral is a shape existing in nature. It holds a sense of growing and connection of things in a seamless flow, which perfectly reflects KLS’s belief in what learning should be.
The building itself is an architectural wonder where some parts of the second floor are hidden and can only be seen from a specific angle. Rooms are not in a symmetrical square shape and there are riddles hidden here and there within our decoration to stimulate curiosity and spontaneous learning for children.
As a collaboration of architectural and educational experts, we create an innovative and integrated learning ecosystem to redefine learning experiences in all aspects.
PLAY + LEARN = GROW
The Spiral concept also inspired our iconic PLAY graphic. It was adopted to add more depth into the icon by translating the idea of “Play + Learn = Grow” into the design. The PLAY shape has a spiral form hidden behind, so it does not only represent progress FORWARD but UPWARD as well.

THE EARTH
The huge Spiral of KLS provides vast spaces of specific and multi-purpose use in 3 circulated floors. Each floor demonstrates different parts of our environment: THE EARTH, THE SKY and THE SPACE.

THE FOREST SCHOOL
Allow your children to be nurtured by the nature.
We instinctively know how nature plays a critical part in child development, especially when they're young. That's why we have dedicated a crucial space to bring the forest closer. KLS's FOREST SCHOOL features many local species of plants, with a giant Angsana tree, aged more than 60 years old, the grandparent of them all.
Our FOREST SCHOOL is designed to mimic the natural forest and ecosystem, translated into a beautiful, warm and peaceful setting. Under the pleasant shade of big trees, children will explore what grows from the ground, what lives on the trees and what human and nature share from one another in synergy and harmony. They will develop their understanding of the world, their love for nature and how to sustainably grow with the environment in the safe and gratifying setting, only offered at KLS.
