TSI Bearing Campus is on the south‑eastern edge of Bangkok in Samut Prakan, at 1799 Thang Rotfai Sai Kao Road, Samrong Nua 10270. The Bearing Secondary School sits on a 35 rai site, and the new Bearing Primary School is on a 7 rai plot within the same campus footprint, bringing total grounds to about 20 rai. The campus is served by a shuttle service from Bearing BTS Station to support daily commuting.

The bearing campus now offers a single campus option for ages 2-18 across both primary and secondary programmes.

The school provides English as an Additional Language (EAL) support and dedicated staff/programmes for students with special learning needs, with statement that SEN provision exists but is described as limited in some contexts.

The school follows the United Kingdom's National Curriculum (UK curriculum) and operates as a British international school in Thailand; it is not described as affiliated with a single country as a national school.

No formal religious affiliation is stated for the Bearing Campus; the school emphasizes a diverse, secular international community.
