Wells International School Bangkok

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

Wells International School teaches an American university preparatory curriculum with International Baccalaureate options, taking pupils from kindergarten through to the American High School Diploma and, for those who choose it, the IB Diploma. The school has grown quickly since 1999 and now runs several campuses in Thailand, serving a student body drawn from more than two dozen nationalities.

Teaching is in English and the school is licensed by the Thai Ministry of Education, with membership of the International Schools Association of Thailand and the East Asia Regional Council of Schools. To see how the two routes lead on to university, read our pillar guides to the American curriculum and the International Baccalaureate, and use our Bangkok city guide to compare Wells with the city's other schools.

Families choose Wells for a recognised American and IB education at a fee level well below the city's most expensive names. It suits parents who want an accredited English medium pathway with genuine value and a broad international community.

Wells International School Bangkok fees

Wells International School Bangkok fees sit in the value band for the city, and the school is regularly listed among the more affordable international options in Bangkok. We describe the band rather than tie the page to a single figure, because the school revises its schedule each year and bills differently by stage. Parents should budget for the components around tuition.

• Registration fees: one off charges applied at enrolment.
• Annual tuition: billed per year and rising from the primary to the senior years.
• Examination fees: American diploma or IB assessment charges in the senior years.
• Extras: transport, meals, uniform, trips and activities.

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

Admissions

The main intake aligns with 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 runs more than one campus in Thailand, families should confirm which campus and stage best suit their location. Relocating families should contact the admissions office directly to check current availability and any English support on offer.

Location and who goes there

Wells International School operates in Bangkok with campuses along the Sukhumvit corridor, including a site near Bangchak and On Nut in the south east of the city. Its value band fees and WASC accreditation make it a practical choice for families who want a recognised education without a premium price.

The community is highly international, with pupils from more than two dozen nationalities and families who value affordability alongside American and IB recognition.
