IB Curriculum International Schools in Thailand

IB international schools in Thailand typically offer one or more IB programmes - the Primary Years, Middle Years, Diploma and the Career-related Programme - delivered under authorisation from the IB Organisation. Instruction is usually English-medium, but schools must also teach Thai language, culture and history in line with national rules and many offer additional modern-language options such as Mandarin or French. Fees vary widely by city and school size: many mid-market Bangkok schools sit in the roughly THB 300,000 - 700,000 per year band while premium schools can publish annual tuition above THB 1,000,000, and most schools also charge application, registration or capital levies. The academic year for most international schools in Thailand commonly begins in August, admissions are often rolling but competitive for busy year groups, and relocating families should plan documents, school reports and visa paperwork several months ahead. Practical choices are shaped by geography - Bangkok, Chiang Mai, Phuket and Pattaya concentrate the largest selection of IB and international options - and by whether a school provides English-language support, university guidance and the visa letters you’ll need for a Non-Immigrant “ED” student visa.
