Every international school in Thailand — fees & accreditation, verified.
CredRadar checks every school's published fees, curriculum and accreditation against source documents, and labels where each figure came from. No invented numbers, ever.

01 · The index
Browse by region
Every licensed international school we could verify in the 2026-10-06 data pass, grouped by region. Counts reconcile with the official registers on our methodology page.
02 · The method
How CredRadar verifies
Source-checked fees
Each fee is labelled [O] official school document, [A] third-party aggregator, or [NV] not verified — and the raw published wording is shown on the school page.
No invented numbers
Where a school does not publish a figure, we say so. Enrolment, class sizes and ratings are only shown when a real source publishes them.
Corrections on record
Aggregator errors we caught (for example outdated averages) are corrected in the data and the correction is noted on the school page itself.
03 · Verified fees
Fees verified from official sources
Schools whose current fee schedule we captured from the school's own published documents.
Singapore International School of Bangkok — SISB Pracha Uthit
Wycombe Abbey International School Bangkok

05 · Chronology
New & changed, 2024–2026
Thailand's school map moved a lot in two years: three UK-brand schools opened for 2026/27, one well-known school closed, and one campus was a rebrand rather than a new school. These changes are one reason directory totals disagree.
KIS International School Reignwood Park opened
A full-IB school with boarding on a 60-acre campus in Lam Luk Ka, Pathum Thani. Published fees ฿585,000 – ฿1,040,300 (2026/27, [A]). View the listing →
Brighton College Bangkok, Vibhavadi opened
The former St Stephen's International School Bangkok community (450+ pupils, Pre-Nursery to Year 13) moved into new buildings in Chatuchak and rebranded as Brighton College's second Bangkok campus. View the listing →
VERSO closed; Wycombe Abbey Bangkok opened on its campus
VERSO International School closed in July 2026. Wycombe Abbey opened in August 2026 at Thana City, Samut Prakan, with official list fees of ฿701,800 – ฿1,276,000 (2026/27, [O]) and boarding. View the listing →
Highgate International School Thailand opened
At Siam Country Club, Chonburi: Pre-Prep and Junior School in year one, Senior School from 2027, boarding planned, capacity 1,400. Fees had not been announced at last check [NV]. View the listing →

06 · The count
How many international schools does Thailand have?
It depends what you count — and we publish the reconciliation instead of picking the biggest number: 249 licensed (Thai MOE/OPEC, 2024) · 207 ISAT directory entries (counted per campus, including standalone kindergartens) · 176 verified listings published on CredRadar, each with source-labelled fees or an explicit "not verified" flag.

Questions parents ask us
How much do international schools in Thailand cost?
Across the schools in our dataset that publish fees, annual tuition runs from under ฿110,000 to ฿1,276,000. Most Bangkok all-through schools sit between ฿400,000 and ฿900,000 a year; most provincial schools between ฿200,000 and ฿600,000. Genuine sub-฿300,000 options exist in every region — see the benchmark section above and our fees guide.
What do the [O], [A] and [NV] labels on fees mean?
[O] means we captured the figure from the school's own published fee document. [A] means a third-party aggregator (such as the International Schools Database or Edarabia) lists it — useful for comparison, but never quote it to a school as its official fee. [NV] means no reliable public figure could be verified, so we show no number rather than a guess.
A school says it is an ISAT / FOBISIA / COBIS member. Is it accredited?
Not necessarily. Membership of an association is not accreditation. Accreditation comes from bodies such as CIS, WASC, NEASC or Cognia after an inspection cycle; the IB, Cambridge and the College Board grant programme authorisations, which are a third, different thing. Our accreditation guide explains how to tell them apart and verify each one.
IB, British or American — which curriculum should we choose?
Start with the destination, not the brand: British (IGCSE/A Level) and IB Diploma both travel well worldwide; an American diploma with AP courses is the natural fit for US applications but is also accepted elsewhere. In Thailand all three are widely available. Our curriculum guide compares structure, exams and switching costs.
Do schools publish their fees openly?
Only some. In our October 2026 pass, roughly one third of schools publish a complete fee table, one third publish partial or "from" prices, and one third require an enquiry. Where a school publishes nothing verifiable, its CredRadar page says so instead of estimating.
Why do different sources give different totals for how many international schools Thailand has?
Because they count different things: the Thai MOE/OPEC licences 249 schools (2024); the ISAT directory lists 207 member entries, counted per campus and including standalone kindergartens; ISC Research counts 180+ "premium" English-medium schools. CredRadar publishes its own reconciliation on the methodology page.
