King’s College International School Bangkok

King’s College International School Bangkok is located in the Ratchada–Rama 3 area of central Bangkok. This neighborhood is well connected to Sathorn and other major business and residential districts via expressways and public transport links.

The school is situated in a modern, urban setting with nearby access to riverside areas and commercial amenities.

The school is divided into three sections: Early Years (Pre-Nursery to Reception), Primary (Year 1 to Year 6), and Senior School (Year 7 to Year 13).

King’s College Bangkok is a co-educational day school for students aged 2 to 18.

The school provides tailored support to students with additional learning needs through a dedicated Learning Support Department. Specialist staff assess and support students through in-class strategies and one-on-one interventions when necessary.

The school is affiliated with the United Kingdom through its partnership with King’s College School, Wimbledon.

The school does not have a religious affiliation.

In the Early Years, the school day typically runs from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm, with options for extended care. In the Primary and Senior School, lessons generally begin at 8:00 am and end at 3:30 pm, with lunch and short morning/afternoon breaks. Specific timings may vary slightly depending on the student’s year group.

The school prospectus and website do not mention a dedicated school bus or transportation service.

King’s College International School Bangkok follows the English National Curriculum, adapted for an international context. In the Early Years (Pre-Nursery to Reception), learning is guided by the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) framework. Primary students (Years 1–6) follow the core UK curriculum with specialist teaching in subjects like music, PE, and languages. In Secondary (Years 7–9), students continue with a broad subject base, preparing for IGCSEs in Years 10–11. Sixth Form students (Years 12–13) pursue A Level qualifications, with subject choices tailored to university pathways. The curriculum is supported by co-curricular activities and pastoral care integrated throughout.

The school embeds SEL through its house system, PSHE curriculum, and counselling services. From Year 1, students join houses to build friendships across year groups and engage in collaborative and competitive activities that promote responsibility, teamwork, and emotional resilience. Heads of House actively monitor student wellbeing. PSHE lessons teach respect, tolerance, and social responsibility. Counsellors offer individual and group sessions focused on personal, social, and academic development, with referrals accepted from teachers, principals, parents, or students. SEL is treated as a whole-school responsibility grounded in values of kindness and care.

The school supports students with mild to moderate SEN needs through its Learning Enrichment department. Provision includes targeted in-class support, small-group interventions, and coordination with families and external professionals. Staff are trained in inclusion strategies, and admissions decisions for students with SEN are made on a case-by-case basis. The school is not a specialist SEN institution but does provide support for a range of learning and emotional needs within its mainstream setting.

King’s Bangkok provides dedicated EAL support through specialist teachers who work alongside classroom staff. The programme includes in-class assistance and small-group sessions, with no additional charge. It aims to integrate EAL learners into mainstream lessons while promoting English proficiency and valuing multilingualism.

The school offers proactive and reactive counselling services to all students. Counsellors support emotional and academic wellbeing through one-on-one and small-group sessions. Students can self-refer or be referred by staff or parents, and serious concerns are managed in collaboration with school leadership. Confidentiality is maintained to create a safe, open environment. The pastoral curriculum also reinforces self-awareness, resilience, and positive relationships.

Safeguarding is treated as a core responsibility at King’s Bangkok, with policies reviewed by staff, parents, and governors. The school teaches students safety skills including online security and personal safeguarding. A culture of kindness and mutual respect is promoted school-wide. Designated staff lead safeguarding practices, and all community members are expected to uphold values of civility, tolerance, and care.

1. Attend an open event or school tour (optional but recommended).
These events are hosted regularly during school hours and allow prospective families to meet leadership, view facilities, and ask detailed questions about the academic programme and pastoral support.

2. Complete and submit the online application form.
Submit the form with requested documents and pay the application fee of THB 5,000. Applications are accepted throughout the year for ages 2–17, subject to class availability.

3. Assessment and interview.
Students undergo age-appropriate assessments—group activities, cognitive tests, writing tasks, interviews—and parents are also interviewed to ensure alignment with school values. This typically occurs in the term prior to entry.

4. Offer, registration, and payment.
Within seven days of assessment, families receive either an offer, waitlist invitation, or unsuccessful notification. Accepted offers must be confirmed and include payment of the THB 225,000 registration fee, which acts as a waitlist fee if a place is not yet available.

6. Finalize enrolment and prepare for term start.
After registration, the security deposit and the first term’s fees must be paid. Parents will be provided with invoicing details and important key dates ahead of the child’s first day.

King’s College International School Bangkok does offer scholarships, though the policy is limited in scope and detail. Scholarships are awarded where the school believes they would benefit exceptional children and are typically offered either as fixed sums of money or as a percentage reduction in tuition fees. These scholarships are reviewed annually, and students must maintain satisfactory academic performance to retain their award.

The school operates a waitlist system. Applicants who pass the assessment may be placed on the waitlist and must pay the THB 225,000 registration fee to secure their position. When a place becomes available, this amount is transferred into the registration fee. If no place is offered within 12 months, the fee is refunded in full unless parents choose to remain on the waitlist.
