Introduction

Bamboo Valley Phuket is a nature-focused international school on a 3.5-rai palm plantation in Cherngtalay. It serves children from ages 1 to 12, combining Waldorf-inspired, play-based learning with elements of the British curriculum. The Nursery (ages 2–4) emphasizes language development, social and emotional growth, and hands-on discovery in a natural setting, with activities such as gardening, animal care, and crafts, and follows a no-screens, no-homework approach. Kindergarten (ages 3–6) extends this through playful phonics, math, and self-initiated, project-based learning that encourages children to pursue their interests. Primary (ages 6–9) integrates mathematics, literacy, science, art, and Thai language within a routine that includes yoga and music. Facilities emphasize outdoor learning: classrooms feature wooden blocks, a train track, a play kitchen, puppets, and dress-up clothes, with 100 palm trees, farm animals, and gardens. Extras include After School Enrichment, Saturday Workshops, and Holiday Camps with activities like Thai cooking and nature art today.

Fees

Application & Registration Fees

- No application fee, registration fee, or one‑off enrolment charge is published by the school for the 2026/27 academic year.

Tuition fees (annual amounts by year group)

- Nursery / Child Care: THB 258,000 annually + 7% VAT.
- Preschool / Kindergarten / Early Years: THB 258,000 annually + 7% VAT.
- Primary: THB 292,400 annually + 7% VAT.

Tuition fees (per term — derived example)

- The school does not publish a per‑term schedule. If the annual tuition above were divided evenly into three academic terms, the per‑term amounts would be approximately:
- Nursery / Preschool / Early Years: THB 86,000 per term (THB 258,000 ÷ 3) + applicable VAT.
- Primary: THB 97,466.67 per term (THB 292,400 ÷ 3) + applicable VAT.
- Note: the per‑term figures above are a direct arithmetic division of the annual fee (inference for illustration) because the school does not publish a formal termly billing breakdown.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The school does not publish a specific billing schedule (annual vs termly vs monthly), nor publicly available payment‑term deadlines for the 2026/27 academic year. Families should expect that standard options used in local international schools (annual, termly or instalments) may be offered but no official schedule is published.

Boarding fees

- Boarding is not applicable. Programs are offered as day programmes (full‑day hours indicated as Monday–Friday 8:45am–3:00pm). The school does not offer student visas, consistent with a day‑school model.

Other costs and typical additional fees

- The school does not publish a detailed list of additional compulsory fees (uniforms, capital levy, registration deposit, bus/transport, meals, activity charges, learning resources or technology fees) for 2026/27.
- Third‑party listings show the annual tuition figures above but do not provide a confirmed breakdown of additional charges; therefore specific amounts for uniform, bus, meals, materials, or capital levies are not publicly available.

Refund information

- No published refund policy or specific refund rules for deposits, registration fees, or tuition cancellations were found for the 2026/27 year.

Fee payment options

- The school's public contact information (phone/WhatsApp and email) is provided for enquiries, but no published list of accepted payment methods (bank transfer, credit card, local bank details, or online payment portal) is available.

Brief note on availability of official fee details

- The school has not published a formal 2026/27 fee schedule on its public pages; third‑party directories list annual tuition amounts but do not include registration fees, billing schedules, termly breakdowns, or refund and payment method details. For definitive entry charges, billing cycles, and any one‑off levies, the school's admissions or finance office must be contacted directly.
