SBS International School Bangkok is a small British school in the Lat Krabang district in the east of Bangkok, not far from Suvarnabhumi Airport; it opened its doors in August 2025 and belongs to the Arthit Ourairat Instituti, a group of four schools with almost sixty years of shared history. Teaching is in English, Thai is taught with the support of a Thai teacher in the classroom, and Chinese begins as early as the preschool years; up to the third year of schooling every class has two teachers. The Cambridge line runs through the whole school - the primary stage, lower and upper secondary with IGCSE and A Level - and the fees are published as an open table, from 309,800 baht a year for the Toddlers group to 522,900 for the senior years. The campus has two libraries with a reading courtyard, a sports centre with a hall, swimming pools and a pitch, separate rooms for art, drama and music, for robotics, media, computing, design and technology, medical science facilities with a theatre, and a refectory; the air across the whole campus is cleaned by a positive pressure system, and the school shows the current air quality index on its campus page. The school keeps a child protection policy, safeguarding leads, daytime nursing care, a counselling service and support for children with additional educational needs and for those whose first language is not English. The school does not publish pupil numbers, a named list of clubs, examination results or a list of universities: it has not yet had a leaving year.

Payment is in three parts: by the end of May, by the end of November and by the end of February, with 10 per cent charged for late payment. The annual fees in the table: Toddlers 309,800, Nursery and Reception 324,500 each, Year 1 - Year 3 356,000 each, Year 4 - Year 6 417,900 each, Year 7 442,100, Year 8 and Year 9 500,900 each, Year 10 - Year 13 522,900 baht.
Admissions Admission runs in six steps: an enquiry to the admissions office, a visit to the campus in Lat Krabang, an application with documents, a review of the applicati, an offer of a place and enrolment. At the fourth step the school writes: "The school reviews each application carefully. Depending on the year group, an age-appropriate assessment, interview, or academic review may be arranged". The school also recruits scholarship holders into the secondary school - at present from Year 7 to Year 10, on academic criteria and on giftedness; scholarship holders are expected to maintain excellent attainment and attendance.
Stages and year groups Grades Tiger Cubs - Year 13. The age table runs from Tiger Cubs (1+) and Toddler (2+) to Year 13 (17+), the fee table from Toddlers to Year 13, and the school describes its house teams as running "across the ages from Preschool to Year 13". The school opened its doors in August 2025, and scholarships are at present offered only in Year 7 - Year 10.

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.
Criteria breakdown criterion weight in brackets
Academics and programmes (16%)95 Community rating (16%)no dataparent reviews are needed: the criterion switches on at the fifth verified one Exams and destinations (12%) scored on disclosed data55 Safety and wellbeing (12%) scored on disclosed data70 Accreditation and verifiability (10%)85 Teaching staff (10%) scored on disclosed data90 Facilities (10%) scored on disclosed data70 Clubs and activities (8%) scored on disclosed data55 "Scored on disclosed data" stands where we count only what the school has written about itself on its own site: exams and destinations, safety and wellbeing, teaching staff, facilities, clubs and activities. 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 8 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.
