About international schools in Thailand

French-curriculum international schools in Thailand teach the French national programme (maternelle → lycée) and many operate with formal links to France through the AEFE or similar French-network agreements. Instruction is primarily in French while schools commonly offer strengthened English lessons and regular Thai language classes; some campuses run dual-pathway or bilingual options that mix the French programme with English curricula. Annual tuition varies widely by provider and location but published fees for French-pathway schools in Thailand typically fall within a broad band roughly between THB 150,000 and THB 500,000, with additional charges for transport, meals or boarding in some cases. These schools are concentrated in Bangkok and in regional centres such as Phuket, Koh Samui, Chiang Mai and Pattaya; the main intake is for the start of the academic year (around August/September in most international schools), though many schools also accept applications and mid-year entries when places become available.

FAQs for Thailand

What is the French curriculum and what qualifications will my child study for?
The French curriculum follows the programmes set by the French Ministry of Education and leads to the same national assessments used in France, including the Diplôme National du Brevet at the end of lower secondary and the Baccalauréat at the end of lycée. Many French-pathway schools abroad are supported or inspected through the AEFE network, which helps ensure continuity with schools in France and recognition of qualifications.
Where in Thailand are French-curriculum schools located?
You will find the largest concentration in Bangkok, with additional French-pathway campuses and smaller écoles in regional centres such as Phuket, Koh Samui, Chiang Mai and Pattaya. Provision varies by city: some campuses offer the full continuum to terminale, while others cover only maternelle and primary or run a bilingual/dual-pathway model.
How much do fees usually cost and what extras should I budget for?
Published tuition for French-pathway schools in Thailand varies by school and year group but typically sits in a broad range around THB 150,000 - 500,000 per year; exact figures depend on age, whether the school is standalone French, dual-stream, or part of a wider international group. Expect additional mandatory or optional charges such as registration and enrolment fees, school bus, meals, extracurricular activities and exam or material costs, so always check the school’s full fee schedule.
When should we apply if we are relocating to Thailand?
Begin enquiries as early as possible - many families start school research 6 - 12 months before a planned move - because demand for particular year groups can be high and schools often have early application deadlines for the autumn intake. While the principal entry point in most international schools is the start of the academic year (around August/September), many schools run rolling or mid-year admissions for available places, so ask each school about its exact deadlines and waitlist practice.
My child doesn’t speak French - will they be supported?
Most French-curriculum schools abroad expect a mix of francophone and non-francophone pupils and offer French-as-a-second-language support or immersion-entry programmes, while also providing strengthened English instruction and other language teaching. The level of newcomer support, class size for language help and integration pathways vary between schools, so request details about FLS (français langue seconde), assessment procedures and examples of recent mid-year intakes.
What does ‘homologation’ mean and why should we check it?
Homologation (official recognition) from the French Ministry of Education, usually visible through AEFE listings or formal decrees, confirms that a school’s programme is aligned with the French national curriculum and that its qualifications are recognised for reintegration into the French system. If you expect your child to return to France or to use the French baccalauréat for university entry, verify the school’s homologation status and the exact grades it covers before enrolling.
