Australian Curriculum International Schools in Thailand

Australian-curriculum international schools in Thailand typically teach in English and base early-years and primary teaching on the Australian Curriculum while many adapt their senior years to international senior pathways (for example Cambridge IGCSE and A-levels) to suit families who move between systems. Thai language and cultural studies are usually timetabled for all students and additional modern languages such as Mandarin, French or Japanese are commonly offered. Annual tuition in Bangkok-style Australian schools most often sits in the mid-hundreds of thousands of baht, with younger years less expensive than senior secondary and with separate charges for registration, deposits, meals, transport and exam or activity fees. Places are allocated through a formal admissions process that typically requires an application form, previous school reports and, where appropriate, an assessment of academic level and English; the academic year commonly starts in late August and many families find it sensible to start the application process several months to a year before they move.
