Shrewsbury International School Bangkok is one of the leading British curriculum schools in the city, set on the banks of the Chao Phraya River in the Bang Kho Laem district. Founded in 2003 and carrying the name of Shrewsbury School in England, it teaches around nineteen hundred students from age three to eighteen through IGCSE and A Levels, and it features on our Bangkok city hub. A second site, the City Campus, opened in 2018 to serve younger children in another part of the city.

At a glance
Curriculum and academics
Shrewsbury delivers the British curriculum from the early years through the English National Curriculum, IGCSE in the upper secondary years and A Levels in the sixth form. The A Level route at the top is the defining choice, giving a recognisably British qualification and a direct line into United Kingdom and international university applications, supported by detailed careers and university guidance.
The school is a member of the Federation of British International Schools in Asia and competes strongly in regional sport and the arts, in the tradition of its English namesake. For how the A Level pathway compares with the IB Diploma and the American route, see our British curriculum guide.

Shrewsbury International School Bangkok fees
Shrewsbury sits in the premium band on our Bangkok international school fees guide, among the higher priced international schools in the city given its riverside campus, facilities and reputation. Tuition rises with each year group and is among the steeper in Bangkok at sixth form, so treat any single figure as indicative and confirm the current schedule with admissions.
Budget for the standard Bangkok components alongside tuition: a registration fee, a 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 line items are added.
Admissions
The academic year starts in August, so the main application cycle runs through the preceding autumn and winter. As one of the most sought after British schools in Bangkok, several year groups carry waiting lists, which makes early application important. Assessment is age appropriate, drawing on previous reports, with English and subject readiness checked for older entrants and A Level subject discussions for sixth form applicants.
Mid year places open occasionally when families relocate out. The practical first steps are to register interest, share recent reports and arrange a tour of the relevant campus, with sixth form entry shaped by A Level subject choices.
Location and who goes there
Shrewsbury’s main Riverside campus sits on the Chao Phraya River in the Bang Kho Laem district, a distinctive waterside setting that gives the senior school generous space close to the centre of the city. The City Campus, opened in 2018 in the Rama IX area, serves younger children and widens the school’s reach across Bangkok. River and road links connect the campuses to the central business districts.
The roll is international with a strong British and European core, reflecting the curriculum, alongside Thai and wider expatriate families. For the broader picture of Bangkok neighbourhoods and the schools nearby, see the Bangkok city hub.
