EFIP vs. BJP
EFIP's current AEFE-listed French pathway versus a BJP school-page snapshot captured 27 July 2026 that described English curriculum, IGCSE and GED—not two French schools. Confirm BJP's current programme.
Start with structure, then compare price. BJP’s school-page snapshot captured 27 July 2026 recorded an English National Curriculum pathway · IGCSE pathway through Year 10 · GED preparation · ESL support for ages 2–16. The former BJP route was unavailable on 24 August 2026, so families must confirm the current programme, age span and tariff in writing. BPIS publishes British (English National Curriculum, KS3-5) · Cambridge IGCSE (Y10-11) · AS/A-Level (Y12-13) for ages 11–18. The table distinguishes current public evidence from the dated BJP snapshot.

The BJP school-page snapshot captured 27 July 2026 was reconciled on 29 July 2026. Its former route was unavailable when rechecked on 24 August 2026, so every BJP programme and fee fact below is historical evidence and requires current written confirmation. BPIS evidence retains its own stated or undated status.

Mandatory annual registration was listed separately at ฿12,000, making the recorded tuition-plus-registration span ฿92,000-฿132,000. The captured table listed single-, two- and three-payment schedules; two instalments added ฿5,000/year and three added ฿10,000/year. It also listed books/course materials ฿2,000-฿17,500/year; accident insurance ฿2,000/year; canteen ฿400/week or ฿1,500/month; bus ฿2,000-฿10,000/month; uniform items ฿100-฿1,500; sibling tuition discounts of 10%/15%/20%; and GED at ฿120,000.

The page combines application ฿200, registration/admission ฿30,000 and insurance ฿1,200 as ฿31,400 in one-time entry charges. The fee page describes tuition as all-inclusive, but the school's 2025/26 handbook says extra classes require payment and that its bookstore and school shop sell textbooks, uniforms and class supplies. No public tariff is given for those items, transport, trips or external examinations. Obtain a written, grade-specific inclusion list and current academic calendar before accepting a place. Admissions are accepted year-round. |

| Published support-cost label | The 27 July 2026 snapshot listed ESL as a ฿120,000/year programme/tuition category, not a separate learning-support tariff. The former route was unavailable on 24 August 2026; confirm current provision and cost in writing. | No language- or learning-support tariff appears on the current primary-undated fee page. |
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.
BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded an English National Curriculum pathway · IGCSE pathway through Year 10 · GED preparation · ESL support for ages 2–16. The former BJP route was unavailable on 24 August 2026; confirm the current programme, age span and teaching languages in writing. BPIS publishes British (English National Curriculum, KS3-5) · Cambridge IGCSE (Y10-11) · AS/A-Level (Y12-13) for ages 11–18. Ask for a current weekly timetable, not only a curriculum logo.
BJP has only a dated school-page snapshot captured 27 July 2026; the former route was unavailable on 29 August 2026, so ฿80,000–฿120,000/year standard tuition is not a current public tariff. BPIS publishes ฿126,000–฿157,500/yr standard tuition. A current price comparison is not supportable until BJP supplies a dated, grade-specific written quote including compulsory extras. If the range covers very different ages, the child’s own row matters more than either endpoint.
BJP: dated 2026/27 snapshot captured 27 July 2026 and reconciled 29 August 2026; the former route was unavailable on 29 August 2026, so a current written tariff is required. BPIS: primary-undated, checked 29 August 2026. Published figures use standard tuition before full-year-payment discounts; discounted figures are labelled as such. A primary-undated schedule is school-published but cannot safely be assigned to an academic year. A dated snapshot is historical school-published evidence, not a claim that the tariff remains publicly available or current. Save the dated school document or email alongside the offer.
BPIS records no boarding. The 27 July 2026 BJP snapshot did not list boarding and recorded an age span of 2–16; the former route was unavailable on 24 August 2026, so confirm BJP’s current age span, boarding status and transition point in writing before shortlisting.
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.
BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded an English National Curriculum pathway through Year 10, GED preparation and ESL support for ages 2–16. Its former route was unavailable on 24 August 2026, so confirm the current programme and age span in writing. BPIS publishes a British route through Year 13.
BJP has only a dated school-page snapshot captured 27 July 2026; the former route was unavailable on 29 August 2026, so ฿80,000–฿120,000/year standard tuition is not a current public tariff. BPIS publishes ฿126,000–฿157,500/yr standard tuition. A current price comparison is not supportable until BJP supplies a dated, grade-specific written quote including compulsory extras.

The BJP school-page snapshot captured 27 July 2026 recorded ages 2–16 and an English pathway through Year 10, with IGCSE and GED references. Its former route was unavailable on 24 August 2026, so the current programme, age ceiling and exit route must be confirmed in writing. BPIS publishes a British secondary route for Years 7–13 with IGCSE and AS/A-Level pathways. Do not plan a BJP transfer or qualification route from the historical snapshot alone.
Ask both schools how they place a child arriving from Thai, bilingual or international education. For BJP, require a current written programme map, language-by-subject timetable, support plan, examination arrangements and post-Year-10 transition because the 27 July 2026 snapshot route was unavailable on 24 August 2026. For BPIS, ask which IGCSE and A-Level subjects are available in the intended cohort and how university guidance works.
The 27 July 2026 BJP snapshot recorded a 2026/27 range of ฿80,000–฿120,000 plus registration. Its former route was unavailable on 24 August 2026, so those figures are historical and a current, grade-specific written tariff is required. BPIS publishes ฿126,000 for Years 7–10 and ฿157,500 for Years 11–13 on a live but undated tuition page.
BPIS describes tuition as all-inclusive while its handbook separately refers to paid extra classes and school-shop supplies. For BJP, do not reuse the 27 July 2026 snapshot’s inclusions, payment terms or discounts: the former route was unavailable on 24 August 2026, so require a current written list of every compulsory, optional, refundable and quote-only item.
If a current written BJP offer confirms the programme recorded in the 27 July 2026 snapshot, plan the post-Year-10 move early. The former source route was unavailable on 24 August 2026, so ask BJP to confirm transcripts, references, examination records, teaching languages and transition support in writing. For BPIS, ask how a joining student moves toward IGCSE and A-Level stages.
Visit the proposed class and test the ordinary journey. A practical offer should name the class, fee year, payment basis, support plan, current programme and all required charges. Keep the dated evidence, current admissions email, placement confirmation and payment terms together before transferring a deposit.
Choose the route that fits the child’s next qualification, language environment, daily journey and complete written cost. Recheck every term if the start date, year group or family plan changes.
Give both admissions teams the child’s date of birth, current reports, language background, support needs, home address and start date. Ask which class is proposed, what assessment is required, whether a place is available and how the first term will be managed. Then request an itemised fee offer. Tuition, entry charges, insurance, books, uniforms, food, transport, activities, examinations and support should all be labelled as compulsory, optional, refundable, non-refundable or quote-only.
Ask the future question before paying. BPIS currently publishes a route through Year 13. BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot described a route ending after Year 10, but its former route was unavailable on 24 August 2026; require current written confirmation of the qualification and transition plan. The right choice is the one whose daily setting, language, future route and total written cost fit the child together.
Before signing, compare the same child, exact year group and payment basis. Visit the proposed class, test the ordinary commute and ask admissions to confirm every required charge, support arrangement and future transition step in writing. Keep the fee document, quote and placement note together, then recheck them whenever the start date or family plan changes.
Do not assume that a lower annual tuition figure covers the same hours, examinations, supplies or later transfer needs. Current, child-specific information is more valuable than a generic headline price.
Review every current document carefully before payment.
Ask again if terms, placement or family circumstances change.
