About international schools in Bangkok, Thailand
American-curriculum international schools in Bangkok teach with a US-style grade structure and high-school diploma pathways, often offering Advanced Placement (AP) courses or similar credit-based programmes alongside a broad elective programme rather than a single terminal qualification. Instruction is almost entirely in English, with mandatory Thai language and culture lessons required by Thai regulators and widespread English-as-an-additional-language (EAL/ELL) support for non-native speakers. Annual costs vary widely across the city depending on campus, facilities and accreditation, but families should expect everything-in costs (tuition plus transport, capital levies and extras) to range from the mid-hundreds of thousands of baht to well over a million baht for senior years. Admissions mostly follow an August/September school year start, with a mixture of rolling places and fixed application deadlines for families who need student (Non-Immigrant ED) visas; most schools use age cut-offs, written or online assessments and family interviews as part of entry.
