King's College International School Bangkok is one of the newer flagship British schools in the city, opening in 2020 as the first King's College School Wimbledon school in South East Asia. It teaches the English curriculum from the Early Years Foundation Stage to a Cambridge style sixth form leading to A Levels, on a large purpose built campus on Rama 3 Road, and it belongs to the premium British segment described on our Bangkok city hub. Its link to a well known London school and its modern facilities define its position in the market.

At a glance
Curriculum and academics
King's College International School Bangkok follows the English curriculum closely modelled on its partner, the British curriculum school King's College School Wimbledon in London. Children begin in the Early Years Foundation Stage and progress through Key Stages 1 to 5, sitting IGCSE examinations in the middle years and A Levels in the sixth form, the route that anchors applications to UK and Commonwealth universities. The school describes its approach as resting on three pillars: a strong academic curriculum, a broad co curricular programme and a structured pastoral system.
The link to King's Wimbledon is the school's defining feature, bringing an academic tradition and a shared approach to teaching and care to a brand new campus. For families weighing the British A Level route against the IB Diploma and the American system on subject depth and university recognition, our British curriculum guide sets out the differences in detail.

King's College International School Bangkok fees
King's College International School Bangkok sits in the premium band on our Bangkok international school fees guide, in line with the other newer flagship British schools and reflecting its modern facilities and London partnership. Fees rise with each year group and are published as an annual schedule, so treat any single figure as indicative and confirm current rates with the admissions office.
Budget for the standard Bangkok components alongside tuition: a one off registration or application fee, a refundable deposit, and optional extras such as the school bus, meals and trips. As a relatively new school, fee structures and any sibling or early enrolment arrangements can change, so the fee calculator and a direct conversation with admissions together give the clearest annual picture.
Admissions
The academic year begins in August, so the main application cycle runs through the preceding autumn and winter, with rolling places reviewed across the year. As a newer school that is still filling its upper year groups, King's often has more availability at the older ages than the long established schools, while its early years and primary places fill faster.
Assessment is age appropriate and typically draws on previous school reports, with English and subject readiness checks for older entrants joining the IGCSE or A Level years. The practical first steps are to register interest, share recent reports and arrange a campus tour, especially for sixth form entry where A Level subject choices shape the timetable.
Location and who goes there
The campus sits on Rama 3 Road in the Yannawa district, a riverside business and residential area south of Sathon in central Bangkok. The central, riverside location is a deliberate advantage, putting the school within reach of the Sathon, Silom and inner Sukhumvit residential belts and the families who work in the central business district, on a site large enough for the modern facilities the school is built around.
As a newer school the community is still forming, but it draws on the British, European and wider international families clustered in central Bangkok, alongside Thai families attracted by the King's name and the A Level route.
