Schools by area

International schools in Bangkok are not spread evenly across the city. Several large campuses sit to the east, toward Bang Na, or further out in neighbouring provinces such as Nonthaburi. A smaller number have sites closer to the older districts. The school year at many of them runs from mid-August to June.

Fees, bus routes, waiting lists and admission rules change, sometimes from one year to the next. This site does not reprint those figures. For published 2026-27 fees at seven well-known international schools in Bangkok, see International Schools DB.

What you can usefully do here is start with the commute. A campus that looks close on a map can be a long trip if it sits off the train lines or on the far side of a river crossing. Bangkok Patana, for example, is in Bang Na, which is why some families live along the eastern Sukhumvit Line. The International School Bangkok campus is in Nichada Thani, in Nonthaburi, which is a different commute again and not a BTS walk from Sukhumvit. NIST has a city site on Sukhumvit. Shrewsbury International School has a Riverside campus and a City campus; those two are not interchangeable for a daily run.

Visit during the morning drop-off if you can. Ask the school which areas most of its bus routes actually cover this year, rather than relying on a brochure map. Then choose a lease length that leaves you room to move if the run does not work.

This page is a starting point, not a directory of every campus in the province, and it does not recommend one school over another.
