Tuition fees by year group (annual and per‑term) Note: Tuition is billed in three termly payments; the per‑term numbers below are calculated by dividing the published annual tuition equally into three term payments, in line with the school's termly billing structure.
- Early Years (Ages 2–5) - Annual tuition: THB 240,000 – THB 260,000 per year. - Per term (three equal termly instalments): THB 80,000 – THB 86,667 per term (annual ÷ 3).
- Primary School (Ages 5–11) - Annual tuition: THB 310,000 – THB 340,000 per year. - Per term (three equal termly instalments): THB 103,333 – THB 113,333 per term (annual ÷ 3).
- Lower Secondary (Years 7–8 / Years 7–9 referenced) - The published tuition page directs families to the current fee table for exact Lower Secondary rates; a specific standard annual range is not listed in the main tuition summary. The school's published promotional (discounted) annual figures for Lower Secondary after a 30% discount are shown as approximately THB 238,000 – THB 252,000; per‑term for those discounted figures is approximately THB 79,333 – THB 84,000 (discounted annual ÷ 3).
Promotions, discounts and sibling reductions - A promotional discount of 30% on tuition has been published as available for qualifying enrolments; discounted annual examples are published for Pre‑K, Primary and Lower Secondary. - Sibling discounts are published; the school notes 10% off tuition for the second child and 15% off for the third child (discounts do not apply in combination with certain promotional offers). - Referral discount: a 5% referral discount for both referrer and referred family has been published (terms apply and does not combine with some other discounts).
Billing schedule and payment terms - Standard billing is termly: tuition is structured into three termly instalments and should be settled one month before the start of each term; mid‑term enrolments must pay immediately. - The Entrance Fee is due within two weeks of accepting an offer or immediately for immediate entry. - Monthly payment plan: families enrolling for a full academic year may elect a monthly payment plan. The monthly plan remains eligible for the 30% promotional discount, but a 10% service charge applies to the discounted tuition when the monthly plan is used. The school's published notes do not specify the number of monthly instalments in the plan; the 10% service charge is explicitly stated.
Boarding - Boarding is not offered or published as part of PGIS programmes; PGIS publications refer to Early Years, Primary and Lower Secondary day programmes and facilities rather than any boarding provision.
Other costs and recurring charges - Learning materials (published guidance): KG THB 3,000 per year; Primary THB 8,000 per year; Secondary THB 15,000 per year. - Insurance: THB 1,800 per year (published as an additional annual cost). - Uniform: THB 500 per set (published guidance; families should budget for multiple sets). - Extracurricular activities, after‑school programmes, field trips and special activities: additional fees may apply; these are charged separately as required. Lunch fees are referenced in promotional waiver terms in certain enrolment offers.
Refunds and cancellation terms - Application & Placement Fee (THB 4,500) is non‑refundable. - Entrance Fee (THB 50,000) is one‑time and non‑refundable (waiver conditions for early enrolment have been published). - Endowment (deposit) THB 30,000 is refundable only after the student completes at least one full academic year and provided a written withdrawal notice at least 60 days before the withdrawal date; published policy requires completion of the minimum period before refund.
Fee payment options and practical notes - The school's public tuition and admissions pages publish billing timetables, the monthly plan and service charges, promotional discounts and the list of fees above, but accepted payment instruments (for example: specific bank transfer instructions, credit/debit card acceptance, online payment gateway names) are not published on the tuition page. Families should use the school's admissions contact channels for the school's current accepted payment methods and bank details.
Example — typical first‑year cost (illustrative using published items) - For a child in Early Years with no discounts, a typical first‑year charge would include: Application Fee THB 4,500 + Entrance Fee THB 50,000 + Endowment THB 30,000 + Annual tuition THB 240,000 = THB 324,500 (this example sums the published items for first‑year enrolment). Published promotional waivers and discounts can change the first‑year total; the Entrance Fee and lunch fees have been shown as waivable under certain early enrolment offers.
Key practical points for parents - Tuition is normally paid in three termly instalments due one month before each term; a monthly plan is offered for full‑year enrolments with a published 10% service charge on discounted tuition. Application and Entrance fees are one‑time charges with stated refund rules; the Endowment deposit is refundable only after the minimum enrolment period and notice requirements are met. Additional annual charges for learning materials, insurance and uniform are published and should be budgeted for alongside tuition.
If you need the school's current fee table for a specific year group or the exact, up‑to‑date list of accepted payment methods and bank details, the admissions office listed on the school's contact page can provide the current official fee table and payment instructions.
