At a glance
Curriculum and academics
Bangkok Prep delivers the British curriculum end to end, from the Early Years Foundation Stage through the English National Curriculum in primary and lower secondary, IGCSE in the upper secondary years and A Levels in the sixth form. That A Level route at the top distinguishes it from the larger Bangkok schools that switch to the IB Diploma, and it suits families who want a recognisably British qualification and a direct line into United Kingdom university applications.
The school is a member of the International Schools Association of Thailand, the Federation of British International Schools in Asia and the Thailand International Schools Activity Conference, alongside Thai Ministry of Education registration, with Cambridge as the awarding body for IGCSE and A Levels. For how the A Level pathway compares with the IB Diploma and the American route, see our British curriculum guide.

Bangkok Prep sits in the mid to premium band on our Bangkok international school fees guide, more accessible than the largest premium campuses but above the value end of the market. Tuition rises by year group, so treat any single figure as indicative and request the current schedule from admissions.
Budget for the standard Bangkok components alongside tuition: a registration or application fee, a refundable deposit, uniform, examination entry fees in the IGCSE and A Level years, and an optional bus service. Our fee calculator helps turn the headline tuition into a realistic annual total once those extras are added.
Admissions
The academic year begins in August, so the principal application window runs through the preceding autumn and spring for the following August start. Demand is steady rather than extreme, which means mid year entry is often possible where a place exists, particularly outside the most popular primary years. Applications generally include recent school reports and an age appropriate placement assessment, with English readiness checked for older entrants.
The practical first steps are to register interest, share recent reports and book a tour of the relevant campus. Sixth form applicants should discuss A Level subject combinations early, since these shape the timetable and entry requirements.
Location and who goes there
Bangkok Prep runs two campuses on the Sukhumvit corridor, the primary on Sukhumvit 53 in Watthana and the secondary on Sukhumvit 77 by On Nut, the latter within walking distance of On Nut BTS station. This is one of the better connected parts of the city for school families, with the Skytrain, condominium housing and amenities all close by, which keeps the commute manageable for parents working in the central business district.
The community is international with a strong British and European core, reflecting the curriculum, alongside Thai and wider expatriate families. For the broader picture of Sukhumvit neighbourhoods and the schools clustered along the Skytrain, see the Bangkok city hub.
