At a glance
Curriculum and academics
Berkeley International School teaches an American curriculum from the early years through to Grade 12, leading to a United States high school diploma. In the senior years it offers Advanced Placement courses, the college level subjects that can earn university credit and signal academic strength on a United States or international application. This makes it a natural choice for families on a North American track or moving between American system schools.
The school is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, the recognised United States regional accreditor for international schools, which it achieved in 2014, alongside Thai Ministry of Education registration. For how the American diploma and AP route compares with the British A Level and IB Diploma, see our American curriculum guide.

Berkeley International School fees
Berkeley International School sits in the mid to premium band on our Bangkok international school fees guide, reflecting its modern campus and American programme without reaching the top of the market. Tuition rises by grade, 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, AP examination entry in the senior years, uniform and an optional bus service. Our fee calculator helps turn the headline tuition into a realistic annual total once those line items are added.
Admissions
The academic year begins in August, so the principal application window runs through the preceding spring and summer for the following August start. Places in popular grades can be limited, while mid year entry is often possible where space exists. 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 arrange a campus visit. Families joining at high school level should discuss AP subject choices early, since these shape the senior timetable and the university profile.
Location and who goes there
Berkeley International School sits in the Bang Na area of eastern Bangkok, a residential district that has become a focus for international families and school campuses. The school invested in its facilities with sports and performing arts buildings added in the mid 2010s, including a swimming pool, sports field and theatre, and Bang Na connects to central Sukhumvit by expressway and the BTS Bang Na corridor.
The community draws on the American and wider international families who settle in eastern Bangkok, alongside Thai nationals seeking a United States style education. For the broader picture of Bang Na and the schools nearby, see the Bangkok city hub.
