Two versions on the school's own pages

This school's own pages state two versions of the same charge: an application fee of ฿5,500 'payable at the time of application' — per the school's Tuition and Fees page; and no fee at initial submission, with ฿5,500 payable only if the applicant is shortlisted for assessment — per the school's Thai-students application page. Both were live on 2026-10-06. Confirm the current figure with the school before paying anything.

How admissions usually works at Bangkok international schools

  • The school year at most Thailand international schools starts in August or September; some schools also run January or April intakes.
  • Applications for an August start commonly open the preceding autumn (September–November), and popular year groups can fill months ahead — applying early rarely hurts.
  • Mid-year entry is often possible where a place exists; schools usually assess the child (English and maths are typical) and ask for recent reports from the previous school.
  • Expect one-off charges on top of tuition — an application or assessment fee, then a registration / enrolment fee and often a refundable deposit once a place is offered. Each school's fees page here shows its published wording in full.
  • Documents are usually some combination of the child's passport or birth certificate, parents' ID, previous school reports and immunisation records.

General guidance only — this is not Bangkok Patana School's policy. Always confirm dates, fees and requirements with the school.
