Illustration · Pathum Thani
A bilingual school in Pathum Thani, in the Muang Ake area north of Bangkok, attached to Rangsit University; it was founded by Dr Arthit Ourair. The school calls itself multilingual and co-educational, teaches more than nine hundred children from the age of one to eighteen and takes both day pupils and those living in the dormitory. The Cambridge pathway runs from Year 1 to Year 13, and before it the school keeps its own early learning centre from the Pre-Nursery group to the second year of Early Years; in the primary school an English and a Thai teacher lead the class together. On the staff there are a hundred and ten fully qualified teachers from twenty-five countries, a school psychologist and a learning support department with certified specialists in special educational needs. The school keeps its own Cambridge examination centre - for its own and for external candidates, in both sessions, May and October - and prepares pupils for entry to Thai and foreign universities; it states that all of its leavers go on to study at university. On the campus there are modern classrooms, spaces for robotics and STEM, a library and sports pitches, and there is a canteen, four school bus routes and a dormitory with 24 hour security and evening study sessions. The school does not publish its tuition fees on the site - they are sent in a separate pack for parents; only the deposits and the dormitory fee are named. There is no list of clubs by name and no examination results on the site, and the university names on the page of offers are posted as pictures.

About the fees The school does not post its tuition fees on the site: the payment schedule, together with the cost of uniform and meals, is part of the pack for parents that the admissions office issues. Of amounts on the site there are only the deposits and the dormitory fee.
Admissions The school looks at attainment and at command of the language: "Students' academic achievement and language proficiency are key criteria in the admissions process". Age is counted from 1 June: "a child must be 3 by June 1st of the current year to enter K1, and 6 by 1st June of the current year to enter Primary 1"; if a birthday falls close to that boundary and the parents ask for a higher class, the child is all the same placed in the year group due by age. The assessment of English determines whether the child needs ESL support. After an approach to the admissions office, an interview with the parents and the child is arranged. Registration for the summer programmes and for the extra-curricular activities is made by separate applicati. There is a scholarship programme named after the founder, the Dr Arthit World Academic Scholarships, for strong senior pupils.
Stages and year groups Grades Pre-Nursery - Year 13. The school writes of itself: "Cambridge International pathway from Year 1 to Year 13", "SBS Early Learning Centre from Pre-Nursery to EY2", "Over 900 students aged 1-18 years". The primary stage is built on the Cambridge International Primary Programme with the AOI inquiry framework; the secondary is described as a path "through Lower Secondary, IGCSE, and A Levels", and then Sixth Form. On the years of IGCSE the school contradicts itself: its profile page says "IGCSE programme in Years 9 and 10", while its secondary school page puts IGCSE between Lower Secondary and A Level and assigns the senior school to Years 9-13. Both wordings are given here, and the choice is not made for the school. Its own SBS High School Diploma the school calls accredited by the Ministry of Education of Thailand.

CambridgeCambridge International Education
Part of the University of Cambridge. It allows a school to teach the Cambridge programmes and to enter pupils for the exams. There are four stages and they are authorised separately: primary, lower secondary, IGCSE and A Level. If the stages are known they are named in the line below; if that line is missing, the school does not publish them, and the Cambridge registry does not show stages either - it gives only the name of the centre, the country and whether private candidates are accepted. Cambridge calls what it does registration rather than accreditation, and the network holds about ten thousand schools.
What the badge means for this school. The school is allowed to run this programme and to award its certificate. This is a confirmation of the programme, not a judgement on the school as a whole. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. At this school: Primary (ages 5-11), Lower Secondary (ages 11-14), IGCSE (ages 14-16), A-Level (ages 16-18). Primary is the primary stage, ages 5 to 11: English, mathematics and science to Cambridge syllabuses. At the end of the stage a school may run the optional Checkpoint test, which is marked in Cambridge. Lower Secondary is the middle stage, ages 11 to 14, with the same optional Checkpoint test at the end. IGCSE means exams at around Year 10 or 11, the British counterpart of a lower secondary leaving certificate. A-Level is the senior years, and their results are what British and many other universities admit on.

Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 7 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
