What the fee schedule says.
- Payment. Instalments: 40% by 15 Aug 2026, 30% by 15 Dec 2026, 30% by 15 Mar 2027. Early-bird annual payment before 20 June 2026 (lunch is then billed for the full year, also due by 20 June 2026). 2,000 THB administrative fee on late payments.
- Tuition covers classroom materials and supplies. It excludes lunch, school transport, school trips during school hours, extracurricular activities, holiday camps and uniforms (a starter kit of 2 sets is billed to each new student; the 2026-27 document gives no uniform price). Sibling discount: 5% for the second child and 10% for the third and later children, on the lower tuition fee. Scholarships: Odyssey Avenir Solidarity Fund (up to EUR 2,000 per year) and French Embassy scholarships for registered French families. Fees are reviewed annually for inflation.
What it costs in pounds, and why that moves.
The school bills in baht. A British family paying from sterling income pays a different amount every term because GBP/THB moves. The same TPS (Toute Petite Section), 5 mornings fee of 213,500 THB is:
| GBP/THB | Annual fee in pounds |
|---|---|
| 48 | £4,448 |
| 44.9 (today) | £4,755 |
| 42 | £5,083 |
Between a strong-pound year and a weak one the sterling cost of this school moves by about £635 a year per child. A family paying termly from a UK account at a high-street bank's 3 to 5 per cent spread adds £190 a year on top. Fee payments are the single largest transfer most expat families make, which is why the transfer method matters more here than anywhere else in the budget.
A termly 71,167 THB transfer at the mid-market rate costs a fraction of a bank's spread. Compare the GBP to THB quote before the first invoice.

Reading the fee schedule
- The hidden fees catalogue: the £30,000 to £70,000 your school will charge that is not in the tuition schedule.
- The fee inflation trap: how £18,000 in Year 1 becomes £32,000 by Year 13.
- The British family's decision framework for international schools in Asia.
- Where the £25,000 actually goes: the international school operating budget nobody publishes.
How The Baht records school fees
Every figure comes from the school's own website or fee document, recorded with its URL and the date it was checked. Figures are annual tuition as the school states them, in Thai baht, for the academic year shown. Where a school prints termly fees only, the annual figure is the termly fee multiplied by the number of terms and is marked as such. Refundable deposits are listed but excluded from first-year totals. Pound figures use the mid-market GBP/THB rate on the day the page was built (Latest daily mid-market snapshot · 10 November 2026) and are rounded to the nearest pound. Fee schedules change every year, usually between March and July; the checked date on this page is the date the figures were last read from the school's site. Corrections: editorial@thebaht.com.
