At a glance

Where a detail is not officially published we mark it clearly rather than guess. Always confirm current figures with the school.

Curriculum and academics

Ekamai International School teaches an American curriculum with Advanced Placement options in the high school, taking pupils from Pre Kindergarten through to Grade 12 and the American High School Diploma. It adopted the American academic credit system on gaining accreditation and offers College Board Advanced Placement examinations to senior pupils seeking university level credit.

The school is Christian and coeducational, with a weekly chapel and religious studies alongside the academic programme, and its community of more than thirty nationalities is drawn largely from Thai families. Teaching is in English and the school is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges. To understand the American pathway and how Advanced Placement works, read our pillar guide to the American curriculum, and use our Bangkok city guide to compare Ekamai with the city's other schools.

Families choose Ekamai for a long established American education at a value fee level, in a central and easily reached part of the city. It suits parents who want an accredited English medium pathway with a settled, faith informed community.

Ekamai International School Bangkok fees

Ekamai International School Bangkok fees sit in the value band for the city and the school appears regularly on lists of the more affordable international options in Bangkok. We describe the band rather than fix the page to a single number, because the school revises its schedule each year and bills differently by stage. Parents should plan for the surrounding components as well as tuition.

• Registration fees: one off charges applied at enrolment.
• Annual tuition: billed per year and rising through the grades.
• Examination fees: Advanced Placement and diploma assessment charges in the senior years.
• Extras: transport, meals, uniform, trips and activities.

For the citywide picture our guide to international school fees in Bangkok divides schools into value, mid and premium tiers, and you can compare bands by stage in our Bangkok primary fees and Bangkok secondary fees breakdowns. Confirm the current figures with the school.

Admissions

The main intake follows the school year, with applications reviewed ahead of the start of term and mid year places arising where a seat is available. Admission runs through an application, prior school reports and an age appropriate assessment of readiness for the grade sought.

Because the school is faith informed and community oriented, families are encouraged to visit and understand the pastoral character before applying. Relocating families should contact the admissions office directly to check current availability and any English support on offer.

Ekamai International School is in the Watthana district of Bangkok, on Sukhumvit 63 in the Ekkamai area, close to the Ekkamai transit station and the Eastern Bus Terminal. Its central location and value band fees make it an accessible choice for families across the eastern side of the city.

The community is drawn largely from Thai families, with a broad mix of nationalities and a shared appreciation of the school's faith informed setting.
