The index
Browse schools by region
Every school we could verify in our 2026-10-06 data pass, grouped by region — with the fee span each region actually charges. Counts reconcile with the official registers on our methodology page.
The method
How CredRadar verifies
1
Every fee, sourced
Each fee is labelled [O] official school document, [A] third-party aggregator, or [NV] not verified — and the raw published wording is shown on the school page, so you can check it yourself.
2
No invented numbers
Where a school does not publish a figure, we say so. Enrolment, class sizes and ratings are only shown when a real source publishes them.
3
Corrections in the open
When an aggregator gets a fee wrong, we correct it in the data — and note the correction on the school page itself, with the date.
Verified fees
Fees taken from the schools' own documents
These schools publish their fee schedule — and we captured it from the document itself, not from another directory.

Tuition benchmarks
Tuition benchmark — Thailand 2026/27
The top of the market, from our verified dataset (research pass 2026-10-06). Every figure carries its source — [O] the school's own fee document, [A] an aggregator listing — so you can see at a glance which prices a school has actually published itself.

New & changed
New & changed, 2024–2026
Thailand's school map moved a lot in two years: three UK-brand schools opened for 2026/27, one well-known school closed, and one campus turned out to be a rebrand, not a new school. That churn is one reason directory totals never agree.

The count
How many international schools does Thailand have?
It depends what you count — and we publish the reconciliation instead of picking the biggest number: 249 licensed (Thai MOE/OPEC, 2024) · 207 ISAT directory entries (counted per campus, including standalone kindergartens) · 189 verified listings published on CredRadar, each with source-labelled fees or an explicit "not verified" flag.

Parent questions
Questions parents ask us
How much do international schools in Thailand cost?
Across the schools in our dataset that publish fees, annual tuition runs from ฿80,000 to ฿1,283,500. Most Bangkok all-through schools sit between ฿400,000 and ฿900,000 a year; most provincial schools between ฿200,000 and ฿600,000. Genuine sub-฿300,000 options exist in every region — see the benchmark section above and our fees guide.
What do the [O], [A] and [NV] labels on fees mean?
[O] means we captured the figure from the school's own published fee document. [A] means a third-party aggregator (such as the International Schools Database or Edarabia) lists it — useful for comparison, but never quote it to a school as its official fee. [NV] means no reliable public figure could be verified, so we show no number rather than a guess.
A school says it is an ISAT / FOBISIA / COBIS member. Is it accredited?
Not necessarily. Membership of an association is not accreditation. Accreditation comes from bodies such as CIS, WASC, NEASC or Cognia after an inspection cycle; the IB, Cambridge and the College Board grant programme authorisations, which are a third, different thing. Our accreditation guide explains how to tell them apart and verify each one.
IB, British or American — which curriculum should we choose?
Start with the destination, not the brand: British (IGCSE/A Level) and IB Diploma both travel well worldwide; an American diploma with AP courses is the natural fit for US applications but is also accepted elsewhere. In Thailand all three are widely available. Our curriculum guide compares structure, exams and switching costs.
Do schools publish their fees openly?
Only some. In our October 2026 pass, roughly one third of schools publish a complete fee table, one third publish partial or "from" prices, and one third require an enquiry. Where a school publishes nothing verifiable, its CredRadar page says so instead of estimating.
Why do different sources give different totals for how many international schools Thailand has?
Because they count different things: the Thai MOE/OPEC licences 249 schools (2024); the ISAT directory lists 207 member entries, counted per campus and including standalone kindergartens; ISC Research counts 180+ "premium" English-medium schools. CredRadar publishes its own reconciliation on the methodology page.
What if a school changes its fees after you've published them?
Our figure stays traceable to the archived page we copied it from, dated the day we checked it. When we re-check and find a change, we update the figure and record the change in our changelog — we never quietly rewrite history.
Luck is not a plan — and no family should need it just to choose a school.
Every fee here is checked against the school's own documents, so your shortlist rests on evidence, not luck.
