Who it fits — and who it does not

  • Families set on the British pathway — it is a recorded curriculum family here.
  • Families for whom budget is not the first constraint — its midpoint sits above the South median.
  • Families whose children fit its span (2–18) — check the top year before shortlisting.
  • Not a fit for boarding families — this is a day school in our records.
  • Not a fit if the budget ceiling is hard: the published range tops out at ฿540,000 per year.
