No schools match these filters. Try another name or area, or clear the filters.
Programme labels do not mean every programme is offered at every year group. Tuition varies by year group and attendance. The figures exclude conditional discounts and are not complete first-year quotations. Confirm your child’s place, support needs and all compulsory charges with admissions.
Two Year 3 offers, compared
For one day pupil in 2026/27. These published terms were checked on 8 September 2026; they show how admission and fee scope differ, not which school to choose.
| School and admission | Year 3 tuition and entry cash | Support and costs to resolve |
|---|---|---|
| Rugby admissions ↗ Age-based placement; Years 3–8 use literacy, numeracy and reasoning tests plus an interview. The school advises applying six months ahead. Entry to Years 11 and 13 is not offered. | THB 765,000 tuition: three terms of THB 255,000. Application THB 5,500 and acceptance THB 200,000 are non-refundable for this day-pupil case. A separate THB 100,000 student deposit is conditionally refundable. 2026/27 booklet ↗ | Lunch, snacks, textbooks, standard activities and the annual residential trip are included. Assessed EAL/learning support can cost extra; ask for the assigned tier. Obtain transport, uniform and optional-activity amounts separately. |
| Regents admissions ↗ Ages 2–18; primary assessment covers spoken/written English and academic areas. Supply the two latest school reports and relevant support reports directly to admissions. An offer depends on the school being able to meet the child’s needs. | THB 682,000 tuition: THB 307,000 + 239,000 + 136,000. Application THB 7,500 and Year 1–13 enrolment THB 107,000 are non-refundable. 2026/27 fees ↗ | EAL, personalised support and bus fees have separate schedules. Most activities are included; external-provider activities can cost extra. Obtain meals, uniform, support and any deposit terms in the child’s offer. |
The Regents annual column includes a 5% discount for payment before 31 July 2026. That deadline has passed; the comparison uses the termly sum. Rugby’s 3% annual-payment deadline was 13 August 2026 and is also not assumed. Year 3 labels are school placements, not a promise of an available place.
Support and deposit conditions
Rugby’s deposit requires cleared balances and at least one full term’s written withdrawal notice; it cannot offset fees. The website mentions five support tiers, while the 2026/27 booklet lists six: request the applicable programme and amount in writing.
// Turn the shortlist into three household files
A school choice is also a money, address and arrival decision.
Once admissions confirms the campus, year group and place, carry the written offer into the three decisions that can still reverse the shortlist.
How to choose, in plain terms
Check the year group, not just an age range. Highgate's 2026/27 fee schedule lists Pre-Nursery through Year 6. Its fee and admissions pages do not give a consistent age range, so confirm your child's placement and availability directly with admissions. Senior-school and boarding phases are announced for later openings; do not budget against a planned phase as though it were open today.
Visit at the time you would commute. The school decision and neighbourhood decision are linked. A good paper match can become a poor daily choice if the journey is unreliable.
School questions, answered
Are there charges on top of tuition?
Often, but the type and amount vary by school and year group. Ask admissions for an all-in first-year quotation that separates compulsory charges from optional services and states any refundable deposit.
Do schools offer sibling or annual-payment discounts?
Some schools publish discounts or payment conditions, but this guide does not assume a common percentage. Compare the written terms, payment deadline and refund rules for each offer.
Does this list cover Pattaya city only?
No. It is a relocation shortlist spanning Pattaya, Banglamung and parts of the wider Eastern Seaboard, including schools in Rayong and Chonburi. Check the exact campus and test the journey from any neighbourhood you are considering.
Sources and directory changes
School and awarding-body sources were checked on 8 September 2026. Each entry links its evidence. This is an editorial selection, not a complete register, ranking or account of school visits. An undated tariff is not treated as a current fee schedule.
Looking for Odyssey or BJP?
Odyssey has transitioned to The Ark Learning Centre. Its current brochure describes a community learning hub with a different learning model. Confirm its present campus, programme recognition and fees directly before comparing it with conventional schools. Read the current Ark brochure ↗
BJP Elite Academy is outside the active comparison while its current classes, curriculum and fees remain unconfirmed. Previously indexed programme and fee pages were unavailable at this check.
