British Curriculum Schools in Bangkok

Every British curriculum international school in our directory, from nurseries to sixth form, with Year 1 fees side by side.

British curriculum schools are the biggest group in Bangkok’s international school market. 74 of the 125 schools in our directory teach a British curriculum, 51 of them on its own and the rest alongside another programme such as the IB or the Singapore curriculum.

They range from small nurseries on a Sukhumvit soi to all-through schools with sixth forms. Below they are grouped the way parents usually search: nurseries and kindergartens, primary schools, and schools that run through to secondary. Every school comes from our international schools directory, which lists schools licensed by OPEC as international schools or accredited by an OPEC-recognised body.

How the English National Curriculum works

Year groups are set by age, so a child joins the year that matches their birthday rather than a level they have reached. Exact cut-off dates vary by school.

Year 1 fees at British schools in Bangkok

Annual tuition for Year 1, the start of Key Stage 1, from each school’s own published schedule, lowest first. Comparing one year group keeps it fair: early years and sixth form fees are priced too differently to line up. Some schools charge one fee across several years, shown in the class column.

Questions parents ask

What is a British curriculum school?

A school that follows the National Curriculum for England, usually adapted for an international setting. Children move through Nursery and Reception, then Years 1 to 13, grouped into Key Stages, and take IGCSEs at 16 and A levels or the IB Diploma at 18.

How much do British international schools cost in Bangkok?

Of the 16 British curriculum schools that publish a Year 1 fee, the lowest is 336,582 baht a year at Heathfield International School and the highest 882,500 baht at Wellington International School Bangkok.

Beaconhouse Yamsaard International School, BSB British International Primary School, Siam International School, Singapore International School Suvarnabhumi, St. Andrews International School Dusit, St. Andrews International School Sathorn and The British School of Bangkok (Topsy Turvy) stop at the end of primary, so families need to plan a move at 11.
