About international schools in Bangkok, Thailand
Bangkok’s IB international schools form a large, city-wide sector that commonly offers the Primary Years (PYP), Middle Years (MYP) and Diploma (DP) programmes either individually or as a full IB continuum. Instruction is predominantly English, with most schools running required Thai language and culture lessons for Thai nationals and many offering Mandarin as a second or third language. Fees vary widely by school and year group - from community-style providers in the low hundreds of thousands of baht to premium campuses where senior-year tuition can exceed nine hundred thousand baht per year - and published tuition often sits below headline “all-in” costs once transport, meals and levies are added. Admissions follow a mix of set annual cycles (applications opening for the following academic year in spring) and rolling or mid-year entry where places exist; popular entry points and visa paperwork can create waiting lists, so planning a term or more ahead is common for relocating families.
