Shrewsbury International School Bangkok Riverside

1. Visit the campus. Families are encouraged to tour the Riverside campus during school term time for a realistic view of the day-to-day learning environment. School leaders may be available during the visit, and tours are booked via an online form.

2. Submit a formal application. Parents complete and send an application form with all required documents, including passport copies, school reports, health certificate, photos, and visa details (if applicable). If applying to both Riverside and City Campus, a priority campus must be selected.

3. Pay the application fee. A non-refundable fee of THB 5,000 per child is payable before assessment. Payment can be made by cash, cheque, or bank transfer to the Accounts Department.

4. Assessment and interview. Applicants undergo age-appropriate academic and character assessments. The process evaluates suitability for the school’s learning environment and helps identify any needed support. Assessments will not be conducted more than 12 months ahead of a child’s intended start date.

5. Decision and waiting list. The application file is reviewed by leadership. If the child meets the criteria but no place is available, a waiting list option is offered. If applicable, families may be offered a place at City Campus instead.

6. Accept the place and enrol. Successful applicants receive a Letter of Acceptance, Acceptance of Place Form, and the invoice for the Guaranteed Place Fee. Families must submit all remaining documents and payments by the deadline to confirm enrolment.

Shrewsbury Riverside operates a waitlist system rather than a pooled or lottery-based model. If a student meets all the academic, character, and admissions criteria but no place is currently available, they are placed on a waiting list for their preferred year group. Placement offers are extended as soon as availability arises.
If the student has applied to both the Riverside and City Campus (Junior only), and a place is open at the non-priority campus, the family may either accept that place or choose to remain on the waitlist for their preferred campus. Once a Guaranteed Place Fee is paid and an offer accepted, transfers between campuses are not permitted, except from City Campus to Riverside at the end of Year 6.
The waitlist is reviewed periodically, and families will be contacted directly when a place becomes available.

Shrewsbury Riverside offers several scholarships, primarily aimed at high-achieving students entering Sixth Form (Years 12–13):

Sir Martin Rees Scholarship
This is a merit-based scholarship available to students who achieve 11 A grades at IGCSE (or equivalent). It includes financial fee remission and is awarded to both internal and external applicants. Selection is based on academic excellence and interview performance.

Honorary Academic Scholarship
Granted to applicants who achieve 7–10 A grades at IGCSE. While these are honorary titles and typically do not include fee remission, they recognize exceptional academic achievement.

Sir David Lees Scholarship
This scholarship is awarded internally to existing students who achieve 4 A grades at A Level. It is granted retrospectively and may include a partial refund of fees or symbolic recognition for academic excellence.

All scholarship recipients must maintain the school’s behavioural and academic standards to retain their status. Shortlisted external candidates may be invited for interviews or additional assessments before offers are confirmed.
