The Regent’s International School, Bangkok, provides a high quality education to all of our students. Our admission requirements are designed to ensure that we meet this objective.
We welcome applications for enrolment at anytime during the school year, form children from a broad range of cultural and educational backgrounds. We have an inclusive admissions policy, so are happy to consider those with particular learning needs. Our admissions process is designed to give us the opportunity to ensure that
each student is able to access the whole curriculum, and that we can meet their individual needs.
To facilitate this, each student is invited to an assessment day. The format of this assessment varies with the year group that is applied for, and is by appointment only. Student should not arrive at school for an assessment without prior arrangement.
We always try to provide support for students whose first language is not English. Please bear in mind that extra fees are payable for this support (ELD/IELD in Primary and Secondary). By making an application for enrolment, you are agreeing to pay for this support if the school’s assessment procedures indicate that it is necessary.
If you wish to visit the school, you can do so by appointment and at a time that is convenient for you. To make an appointment, please contact our Admissions Manager by emailing admissions-bkk@regents.ac.th or calling +66 (0)2957-5777 ext 202.
