Samut Prakan, Thailand · Private
Illustration · Samut Prakan
A private school in Samut Prakan, south of Bangkok, which works to the curriculum of Singapore's Ministry of Education and takes a pupil from nursery level through to graduati. Lessons are in English and Chinese, Thai is taught as a third language, and the school names its trilingual environment outright as a feature of its own. The senior stage is built on the Cambridge examinations: first IGCSE, with subjects chosen from five groups and the Cambridge ICE award, then AS and A Level over two years. The school also invites external candidates to its examinations, keeps its own centre for the Singapore IPSLE examination for Primary 6 and a centre for the Chinese YCT and HSK tests. Its achievements name individual pupils - two leavers took the top grades at A Level, four A* and three A* respectively - but there are no school-wide results. The school gives neither fees, nor a number of students, nor a founding year, nor its teaching staff on the site; the section for parents is closed by a password, and the facilities page opens as a photo gallery without captions. There is no full list of clubs either: the news shows a futsal team, a choir and a leaders' society.

About the fees The school does not publish its tuition fees on the site: it has no section on fees at all, and only the one-off payments are known - a non-refundable application fee of THB 2,500 and an Admission Fee and Trust Fund mentioned without amounts. The first term's fees are paid in advance, before a place is confirmed.
Admissions Pupils are taken on the results of an examination and an interview. An applicati, a medical record and the most recent school reports are submitted; if there is a place in the year group required, the child is invited to the school for testing, and a non-refundable THB 2,500 is paid on that day. The set of subjects in the test depends on the year group and usually covers English, Chinese, mathematics and science, together with an interview; for the youngest the assessment may take place in the classroom itself. The school looks at the ability to study its programme in English and Chinese. Children whose brothers and sisters already study here have preference. A child with learning difficulties or physical limitations is considered if the school can provide the support needed, and it consults its own Learning Support department; where it cannot, it suggests other schools. Documents: the most recent school report, a copy of the child's passport or birth certificate, copies of the parents' passports or identity cards, a copy of the house registration book. The school year begins in August, and a pupil is placed in the year group according to age.
Stages and year groups Grades Nursery - Secondary (AS and A Level). The stages as the site menu gives them: Nursery Level, Kindergarten Level, Primary Level (up to Primary 6, for which the school runs the Singapore IPSLE examinati) and Secondary Level. The senior stage is described as IGCSE and then AS and A Level: "At TSIS, students will further their studies at AS and A levels upon the completion of IGCSE". The school names no class numbers above Primary 6; the news shows a Secondary 2 year group.

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: IGCSE (ages 14-16), A-Level (ages 16-18). 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.

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.
