Do not compare the lowest and highest numbers as though they cover the same grade. Read each school’s fee-structure row, then request the exact grade invoice. Registration, meals, transport, books, support and external examinations can materially change the first-year and recurring totals.

// 02 · The decision framework

Five questions.
Five answers.

1. Which curriculum and teaching language fit the child?

BJP publishes English National Curriculum pathway · IGCSE pathway through Year 10 · GED preparation · ESL support for 2-16; BPIS publishes British (English National Curriculum, KS3-5) · Cambridge IGCSE (Y10-11) · AS/A-Level (Y12-13) for 11-18. Ask for a current weekly timetable, not only a curriculum logo, so you can see which subjects are actually taught in each language.

2. Which number belongs to the child’s exact grade?

BJP publishes ฿80,000–฿120,000/yr; BPIS publishes ฿126,000–฿157,500/yr. Compare the grade-specific total after mandatory registration and extras, not the endpoints alone. If the range covers very different ages, the child’s own row matters more than either endpoint.

3. Is the fee evidence current enough for a commitment?

BJP: Fees verified Jul 2026. BPIS: Fees verified Jul 2026. A primary-undated schedule is school-published but cannot safely be assigned to an academic year. Save the dated school document or email alongside the offer.

4. Does the school cover the family’s full time horizon?

Compare each published age span with the year your child needs. If either school ends before graduation, shortlist the next school and price that transition now. BJP: no boarding in the record. BPIS: no boarding in the record.

5. What belongs in the written admissions quote?

Ask both schools for a dated, grade-specific invoice separating tuition, registration, deposit, meals, transport, books, uniforms, support and examination charges. Also confirm the teaching language, qualification route and next transfer point in writing.

Summary verdict

  • BJP deserves the shortlist when its published curriculum, age span and total grade-specific invoice fit the child.
  • BPIS deserves the shortlist when its published curriculum, age span and total grade-specific invoice fit better.
