International schools in Bangkok by station: Sukhumvit and beyond

Last checked 6 October 2026 · 11 min read · English

For most families moving to Bangkok, the school decides the neighbourhood. The morning run on Sukhumvit can be a ten-minute walk or forty minutes in traffic, so the simple rule is: choose the school first, then live within walking distance or a few BTS stops of it. Here is every major international school along the Sukhumvit line, from Nana to Bang Na, grouped by station, followed by the main schools near other BTS and MRT lines in central Bangkok.

Quick answer: where to live for each school

Nana and Asok

NIST International School · Sukhumvit Soi 15

Bangkok's first IB school and the first to offer all three IB programmes (PYP, MYP and Diploma), for ages 3 to 18, about 500 metres from BTS Asok and Nana. It is also one of the most expensive: indicative tuition is roughly ฿630,000–1,095,000 a year, plus significant one-time fees. Families who want to walk to school live on the quieter sois between Nana and Asok; others choose Ploenchit or Chidlom for larger apartments a few stops away.

Australian curriculum leading to Cambridge IGCSE and A Levels, ages 3 to 18, between Asok and Phrom Phong. Indicative tuition about ฿336,000–569,000 a year. Confirm the current campus address with the school, as directories list it differently.

Satit Prasarnmit International Programme · Sukhumvit Soi 23

The first international programme run by a Thai government university school, within Srinakharinwirot University's demonstration school, close to BTS Asok and MRT Sukhumvit. It attracts many Thai families, and fees are reported at about ฿300,000–400,000 a year; check the current curriculum and fees directly with the school.

English National Curriculum, then IGCSE and the IB Diploma or IB Career-related Programme. Indicative tuition about ฿400,000–850,000 a year.

British curriculum with IGCSE and A Levels, ages 2 to 18. The secondary school moved to the Sukhumvit 77 campus near BTS On Nut in 2017 and the primary school followed in 2023, so older guides that place Bangkok Prep on Soi 53 are out of date. Indicative tuition about ฿385,000–860,000. Many families live from Ekkamai to On Nut, where larger condos and houses cost less than in Thong Lo.

Anglo Singapore International School, Campus 64 · Sukhumvit Soi 64

Thailand's longest-established British international school, non-profit, ages 2 to 18, with IGCSE and the IB Diploma on a large green campus. It is about 3 km from BTS Bearing, so most families use the school bus or drive. Indicative tuition about ฿515,000–1,015,000.

Berkeley, Concordian and Wells Bang Na

Berkeley International School (American, AP, ages 2–18) is at Bangna–Trad km 1, near BTS Bang Na. Concordian International School (IB, with English, Mandarin and Thai) is further out at Bangna–Trad km 7. Wells Bang Na is on Srinakarin Soi 62. All three suit families living in houses in the Bang Na area rather than condos in central Sukhumvit.

For Japanese families

The Thai-Japanese Association School, the main Japanese school in Bangkok, follows the Japanese national curriculum from Grade 1 to junior high school. It is on Rama 9 Soi 17 in Huai Khwang, not on the BTS, so families living in Phrom Phong and Thong Lo rely on the school bus. Ask the school which buildings its bus routes cover before you sign a lease. See also BTS or MRT.

Beyond Sukhumvit: schools near other lines

Not every family lives on Sukhumvit. These schools sit near the Silom Line, the MRT or the river, and suit families renting in Sathorn, Silom, Rama 9 or along the Chao Phraya.

Silom, Sathorn and the riverside

Shrewsbury International School Bangkok, Riverside is on Charoen Krung Road by the river: British curriculum with IGCSE and A Levels, ages 3 to 18, on a 40-rai campus with about 2,000 students. It is about 2.5–3 km from BTS Saphan Taksin, so families often live in riverside condos or in Sathorn. Indicative tuition about ฿690,000–1,210,000. St Andrews International School Sathorn, on Sathorn Soi 4 near BTS Chong Nonsi and MRT Lumphini, is a small British primary school for ages 2 to 11, run by Cognita.

Rama 3

King's College International School Bangkok opened in 2020 as a sister school of King's College School, Wimbledon: British curriculum with IGCSE and A Levels, ages 2 to 18, rated Outstanding in its 2024 British Schools Overseas inspection. There is no train close by, so most families drive from Sathorn or the riverside. Indicative tuition about ฿615,000–1,065,000.

Rama 9 and Huai Khwang

KIS International School on Pracha Uthit Road offers all four IB programmes for ages 3 to 18, with a school shuttle from the MRT; indicative tuition about ฿440,000–945,000. Shrewsbury City Campus, nearby on Rim Khlong Samsen Road, is a British primary school for ages 2 to 11 with an optional English–Mandarin bilingual track; indicative tuition about ฿670,000–910,000. Regent's International School Bangkok, also on Pracha Uthit Road and part of Nord Anglia, follows the English National Curriculum to IGCSE and the IB Diploma for ages 2 to 18. All three are a taxi ride from MRT Phra Ram 9, Phetchaburi or Thailand Cultural Centre, and many families commute from Asok and Phrom Phong.

Dusit

St Andrews International School Dusit, on Sawankhalok Road, is a British primary school for ages 2 to 11, also run by Cognita, with indicative tuition about ฿277,000–611,000.

Further out, by car

Several large campuses are outside the centre and suit families living in houses nearby rather than condos in town: International School Bangkok (ISB) in Pak Kret, Nonthaburi; Harrow International School in Don Mueang; Ruamrudee International School and Bromsgrove in Min Buri; Brighton College and Wellington College on Krungthep Kreetha Road; Charter and Pan-Asia in Prawet; and Verso, Raffles American School and the Singapore International School of Bangkok near Suvarnabhumi.

International kindergartens and early years

For children under six, there are many smaller nurseries and kindergartens between Asok and Ekkamai. These were operating in 2025–2026 according to their own websites or recent directories:

• Phrom Phong: Kids Kingdom International Kindergarten (Sukhumvit 47), KiddyKare International Kindergarten (Sukhumvit 26), The First Steps International Pre-School (Sukhumvit 31), Associé International Kindergarten Bangkok 35 (Sukhumvit 35), The Purple Elephant (Sukhumvit 39).
• Thong Lo: The Purple Elephant (Sukhumvit 49 and 55), Wells International Kindergarten (Sukhumvit 51), SP International Kindergarten (Thonglor Soi 17), Tiny Seeds International Pre-school (Sukhumvit 36).
• Ekkamai: Annabel's Early Years International Kindergarten (Ekkamai Soi 10), Kids' Academy International School, Discovery campus (Ekkamai Soi 2).
• Finnish approach: HEI Schools Bangkok, with a Sukhumvit campus.

Small schools open, move and close more often than large ones. Several names on older lists could not be confirmed as still operating in 2026, so always check with the school before you plan around it.

How much do schools cost here? A survey by Realist of 15 international schools in the Asok–Thong Lo area put average annual tuition at about ฿333,500, from well under ฿200,000 to almost ฿1,000,000 at the top end.

What to check before you sign a lease

1. Walk the route at 7:30 am. A building two sois away can still mean crossing Sukhumvit Road in traffic.
2. School bus stops. Ask the school which buildings its buses already serve.
3. Space for a family: a real third bedroom, a maid's room, storage and a pool suitable for children.
4. Lease timing. Align move-in with the school term, and ask for a diplomatic clause if your posting could end early.
5. Waiting lists. Popular year groups fill early; secure the school place before you commit to a long lease.
