This school has been an excellent fit for my son. Having transferred from another international school, he immediately felt comfortable and content here. The teachers are professional and kind. There is almost no case of bullying. The American AP standards curriculum is impeccable. My son really enjoys getting knowledge from an engaging teaching method from the teachers.

A great choice for families who are looking for an American international school located conveniently in the heart of Bangkok, with comprehensive facilities, rigorous AP programs, a wide array of sports and extracurricular activities, and a thriving student community.

I’ve heard that schools with an American curriculum consider not just test results, but also participation in school events, volunteer work, and after-school clubs in student grades. This is great for students who struggle academically or for whom English is not their first language!

In August 2023, the management was taken over by a Singaporean company. A parent said that the systems have improved.

Location
Located in Thonglor, where many Japanese and other foreigners live. It has great facilities despite being in the city.
