At a glance
Curriculum and academics
Ekamai International School delivers an American curriculum in English from the early years through to Grade 12, using the United States credit system in the high school years so that students graduate with an American style transcript suited to United States and international university applications. As a Seventh-day Adventist school, that academic programme is set within a Christian ethos that shapes the pastoral life of the school.
Accreditation comes from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, the recognised United States regional accreditor, which the school first achieved in 1998, alongside Thai Ministry of Education registration. For how the American pathway compares with the British and IB routes, see our American curriculum guide.

Ekamai International School fees
Ekamai International School sits in the value band on our Bangkok international school fees guide, among the more affordable American curriculum schools in the city and a notable contrast to the premium internationals. A confirmed schedule was not available to us here, so treat any figure as subject to confirmation and request current rates from admissions.
Budget for the standard Bangkok components alongside tuition: a registration or application fee, a possible deposit, uniform and any bus arrangement. Because the school sits at the value end of the market, the total annual cost tends to be lower than the headline premium schools, but our fee calculator still helps turn tuition into a realistic yearly figure.
Admissions
The academic year begins in August, so the principal application window runs through the preceding spring and summer for the following August start. Mid year entry is possible where space exists. Applications generally include recent school reports and an age appropriate placement assessment, with English readiness checked for older entrants.
The Christian ethos is part of the school's identity, so families typically discuss fit during the application. The practical first steps are to register interest, share recent reports and arrange a campus visit, particularly for high school entry where the credit system and subject choices matter.
