It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Express Interest
Parents begin by completing a simple inquiry form on the school's website. Upon submission, the admissions team will reach out to provide the school prospectus, further guidance, and details regarding any current offers. This initial step helps establish communication between the family and the school.
2. Visit Us
Families are invited to discover the school by attending an Open House or booking an individual tour. The physical campus will be open for these on-site visits starting in April. Currently, the school is holding monthly Open Houses off-site for families interested in the Early Years and Lower Primary levels.
3. Apply
To formally progress with the process, parents must complete the online application form. This application is processed through the school's dedicated admissions portal, Open Apply. Completing this step officially registers the child as an applicant for their designated year group.
4. Experience
Prospective students and their families are invited to spend time at the school to explore the learning environment firsthand. During this visit, parents and children will also have the opportunity to meet with the Founding Principal. This step helps both the family and the school determine if the educational approach is the right fit.
5. Enrol
Upon successful completion of the previous steps and acceptance, the child is officially enrolled into their respective learning community, such as the Snow Lions or Dragons. They are then ready to begin their classes. Parents are encouraged to review the complete Admissions Policy for any specific final enrollment details.

The Jataka School is a centrally-located early years and primary school opening in Bangkok in August 2026. It interweaves the British curriculum with an innovative learning framework rooted in Buddhist wisdom, focusing on integrated meditation and daily reflection. Students experience an immersive bilingual environment, receiving instruction in English and Mandarin on alternate days, alongside daily Thai language and culture integration. Situated near the Bangchak BTS station, the campus features specific facilities such as an organic vegetable garden, a community recycling center, and exploratory ateliers. A truly unique feature is the "Distinctively Jataka" program, which emphasizes eco-sustainability and mindful nourishment through locally grown, environmentally friendly meals. Serving children aged 3 to 11 in multi-age communities, the school utilizes inquiry-led, play-based learning to foster critical thinking. Students are actively encouraged to practice daily "pauses" for inward reflection.
