Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Book a school visit or personalised campus tour. Families are encouraged to arrange an in-person tour to explore the facilities, meet the admissions team, and ask questions about the curriculum and student life. This visit can help clarify whether the school is the right fit for your child’s needs.
2. Submit the application form and supporting documents. Parents must complete the official BCIS application form and submit required documents, which include the child’s passport, visa (if applicable), recent school reports, and photographs. All documents should be emailed to the admissions office for review.
3. Schedule an interview and academic assessment. The school will invite your child for an interview and, for Year 1 and above, an academic screening to assess subject proficiency and English language needs. These assessments help determine grade placement and whether EAL support is required.
4. Receive an offer and confirm enrolment. If the application is successful, the school will issue a formal offer letter. Parents must accept the offer in writing and proceed with the enrolment confirmation.
5. Pay registration fees and prepare for school start. To secure the place, families are required to pay registration and relevant tuition fees. Prior to the start of term, arrangements such as uniforms, access cards, and learning materials will be finalised with the school team.
BCIS Phuket does not operate a formal waitlist or pooled admissions system.

BCIS Phuket International School, located in Chalong, Thailand, is a co-educational day school serving children aged 18 months to 18 years. The school offers two distinct academic streams: the British Cambridge pathway (from EYFS through A Levels) and the French National Curriculum, both taught on a single integrated campus. With average class sizes of 17, the school promotes close teacher-student interaction. BCIS is particularly recognised for its STEM facilities, including Phuket’s only school-based planetarium, hydroponics lab, robotics centre, and a horticultural research space. Students from both curriculum streams share access to the sports complex, Olympic-size swimming pool, and outdoor learning areas. The school community includes over 50 nationalities and offers support for English as an Additional Language. After-school activities span creative, academic, and service-oriented clubs. This structure provides students with a multilingual, multicultural environment that supports academic progression aligned with international benchmarks.
