Finnway International School

Application process

Prospective students who wish to apply to Finnway International School Phuket will need to complete an application form and pay an application fee. Your child’s application will then be considered against the admissions criteria and you will be notified if they are to be offered a place. Applications are considered in chronological order of receipt.

Step 1

To apply, please submit the following:

• Completed and signed Application Form.
• An application fee of 2,000 Baht.
• Photocopy of both parent’s and child’s passports and visas.
• Photocopies of the child’s birth certificate.
• 2 passport-size photographs (not older than 6 months).
• Official transcript or report cards from the previous school (translated into English).
• Educational assessment or specialist reports (where applicable).

Step 2

After these documents have been submitted and the application fee has been received, the admissions office will review your application. Additional information may be requested from you or your child’s previous school. Following this, we will contact your family to schedule age-specific assessments. You will then be informed if your child meets the admission criteria.

Please note:

• Early years students are assessed by completing informal and practical activities in the classroom.
• Primary students will undergo an informal assessment with our Head of Primary to confirm appropriate grade placement and language proficiency.
• Parents will be interviewed by the Principal of the School about the philosophy and values of the child’s family and any other information concerning the child.
• Although our school welcomes students of all nationalities, the primary language of instruction is English, and proficiency in English is essential for full participation in our curriculum.

English as an Additional Language (EAL):

Students in Grades 1 to 6 who require EAL support will receive assistance through small group sessions and one-on-one interventions. This service is charged at 42,000 Baht per year, with invoices issued twice per year, in Term 1 and Term 2.

Intensive English Programme (IEP):
For potential students who do not yet meet the English requirements for regular classes at Finnway, our IEP at Finnway Connect provides personalised support, available for both short-term and long-term enrolment with an additional cost of 65,000 Baht per year.

Step 3

When a place is offered, the entrance fee and deposit must be paid within seven (7) days. If the entrance fee and deposit are not received within 7 days, priority will be given to other applicants. The first instalment of tuition fees is due on the 1st of June for August entry, and prior to the student’s commencement at other times during the school year.
