About international schools in Bangkok, Thailand
Bangkok has one of Southeast Asia’s largest and most diverse international-school markets, with roughly 80 - 100 fee-paying international schools offering a mix of British, American, International Baccalaureate (IB), Australian and Singaporean curricula. English is the dominant language of instruction, while Thai language and cultural studies are included in most schools and many institutions also offer modern languages such as Mandarin, French and Japanese. Annual tuition covers a wide spectrum: many mid-range schools charge roughly US$8,000 - 16,000 per year (around THB 300,000 - 700,000), premium long-established schools can be substantially higher, and more affordable international or bilingual options are available below US$5,000. Admissions operate both on rolling intakes and fixed visa-linked cycles, with common application deadlines or main intakes around August (and separate deadlines for educational-visa applicants in some schools), so relocating families should start enquiries and applications several months before arrival to confirm place availability and visa requirements.
