Shrewsbury International School Bangkok

What the school is

Two campuses and the Year 7 transfer pathway

City Campus serves children from age 2 through Year 6. The cited directory and school guide describe a guaranteed Riverside secondary place for pupils completing Year 6. Ask about the current eligibility, assessment, payment deadlines and any conditions attached to that pathway. A later campus change still requires planning for subjects, support and transport.

The school describes a sister-school relationship with Shrewsbury School in the UK, founded in 1552. Published material discusses staff links and curriculum alignment. British Club reporting identifies private ownership and involvement by City Realty in the Riverside masterplan, so the UK school is a partner rather than the owner.

Third-party sources report CIS reaccreditation for Riverside in 2025 and accreditation for City Campus in 2024; each campus has its own report.

Academics in practice

Dated examination results and programme choices

Secondary reporting gives 2025 IGCSE results of 74% A*/A, including 46% A*, AS results of 89.4% A/B and A-level results of 65.2% A*/A, including 39% A*. The school’s profile also records 34 learner awards in 2022, including 15 Top in the World awards. Keep examination-entry percentages separate from individual awards and ask for cohort sizes before comparing outcomes.

The 2023–24 school profile describes a typical destination distribution of approximately 50% to UK universities, 20% to US four-year colleges and 20% to Thai universities. Its graduating-class figure of 144 and projection towards 200 belong to that dated profile. The documented sixth-form pathway comprises three or four A levels with the Extended Project Qualification; obtain the current subject combinations and entry requirements.

The reported You-Time! programme includes weekly participation from Year 3 and a catalogue of more than 500 activities. Pupils belong to six houses named after Nobel Peace laureates. Riverside facilities include three natural-turf pitches, a gymnastics hall, a three-pool aquatics centre and a 580-seat theatre; a senior building opened in 2021. Ask which activities run for the child’s age and what costs or travel are involved.

Fees and the real cost

2026–27 fees

For 2026/27, annual tuition runs from THB 696,300 (Nursery, City Campus only) to THB 1,256,700 (Year 12, Riverside), payable termly and including lunch, snacks and books; Years 11 and 13 pay two terms only. Entry adds a THB 5,000 application fee, a THB 225,000 non-refundable Guaranteed Place Fee and a THB 225,000 refundable deposit.

Using the listed 2026–27 Year 12 tuition of THB1,256,700, adding the THB225,000 non-refundable place fee gives THB1,481,700 before other charges. The separate THB225,000 refundable deposit brings the initial cash requirement to THB1,706,700. Keep that deposit separate from spending and read the refund conditions. A fee called a Guaranteed Place Fee does not by itself describe every condition of admission or the City-to-Riverside transfer.

Admissions

Assessment and English-language support

The cited admissions guide describes English assessment, references and subject testing for senior entry. It also reports that some applicants needing English support may be considered for City Campus or a waiting list. That is a possibility, not an automatic alternative offer.

The family experience

River access, the Rama 9 option, and the school-run map

Riverside is at 1922 Charoen Krung Road in Bang Kholaem. Published access information mentions road and river travel via Sathorn pier, with Saphan Taksin BTS nearby. City Campus is in the Rama 9 area.

A child beginning at City Campus may later need a different journey to Riverside. Discuss the Year 6-to-7 transition, how many pupils take up the pathway and what changes in timetable or support. Do not assume that a teenager will be able to travel independently; assess the route and the child’s needs at that stage.
