About international schools in Pattaya, Thailand
British-curriculum international schools in Pattaya generally follow the English National Curriculum, moving children from EYFS and Key Stages through to Cambridge IGCSEs and A-Levels, with a small number offering alternative exam boards or an IB pathway at sixth form. Teaching is delivered mainly in English while Thai language lessons are usually compulsory and many schools also offer additional languages (for example Mandarin) plus English-as-an-additional-language support for newcomers. Annual tuition varies widely across the city: there are more affordable British-track options in the lower hundreds of thousands of Thai baht and premium day or boarding schools that can cost well into the mid-to-high hundreds of thousands per year, with registration, exams, transport and other fees commonly adding a further 10 - 20% to headline figures. Admissions commonly centre on an August/September intake but places are often allocated on a rolling basis and most schools require application paperwork, entrance assessments and an interview, so relocating families should start enquiries several months before arrival and check each school’s accreditation and visa guidance.
