Kids Avenue vs
BJP.

Shared early years.
Different runway.

Kids Avenue has no published tuition, registration or service tariff in the current record. BJP publishes dated 2026/27 tuition and mandatory annual registration. The missing Kids Avenue figure remains missing here.

Kids Avenue publishes no tariff, so there is no verified lower-price claim; BJP publishes dated 2026/27 tuition plus mandatory annual registration. Compare the exact attendance pattern and hours and request every Kids Avenue line and BJP’s grade-specific tuition, registration and optional-service rows in writing. Meals, transport, care and compulsory materials remain open until quoted.

Kindergarten specialist.
English-pathway runway.

The schools overlap from age two through kindergarten. Kids Avenue is a Thai-English early-years specialist ending at six; BJP continues through Year 10 in an English-medium setting.

Match the actual attendance offer

Ask both schools to state the child’s proposed class, start date, age cut-off, core hours and following year’s class. Kids Avenue names Toddler, Nursery and Kindergarten stages; BJP publishes preschool, kindergarten/reception, primary and secondary through Year 10. Similar ages do not make the labels or weekly hours identical.

BJP publishes a longer preschool-to-Year-10 span, so ask which year placement, hours and fee row apply to the child. Ask Kids Avenue to quote the same attendance pattern. Observe the actual room, transitions, meals, rest and outdoor time rather than comparing a part-time endpoint with a full-time place.

Make language exposure visible

Kids Avenue describes Thai-English communication and a blended international and Thai kindergarten curriculum but names no external framework. Request a weekly programme map showing which adult uses each language and how Thai literacy, English phonics, numeracy and inquiry are sequenced.

BJP records English as the medium, Thai alongside it and French as a secondary foreign language. Ask for the exact weekly language split, curriculum map, assessment system and Year 10 IGCSE transition evidence.

At both visits, watch how teachers explain unfamiliar tasks, how children ask for help and what happens when they work at different speeds. Request anonymised current work and the report format parents receive. The useful comparison is classroom practice, not the word “international.”

Build complete first-year totals

BJP’s 2026/27 tuition is ฿80,000 preschool, ฿100,000 kindergarten/reception and ฿120,000 primary, secondary or ESL. Add ฿12,000 mandatory annual registration, making recurring tuition plus registration ฿92,000–฿132,000.

BJP publishes books/course materials at ฿2,000–฿17,500 a year, insurance at ฿2,000, canteen at ฿400 weekly or ฿1,500 monthly, bus at ฿2,000–฿10,000 monthly and uniform items at ฿100–฿1,500.

Kids Avenue publishes no tuition or extras tariff. Request tuition, application, registration, deposit, meals, materials, uniform, trips, transport, holiday care and extended care in writing. The quote should name the academic year, weekly hours, payment dates, notice requirements and refund conditions.

Create totals for money due before attendance, the complete first school year and a normal recurring year. Mark one-time and refundable sums. The missing Kids Avenue tariff cannot be estimated; BJP’s dated figures still require the child’s grade, payment plan and chosen services.

Plan both transfer points

Kids Avenue ends at age six. Ask where recent leavers entered primary school, which year groups accepted them, what records were supplied and when applications began. Identify two plausible destinations and check language, curriculum, commute and current fee basis.

BJP publishes continuity through Year 10 plus GED options. Ask how the IGCSE pathway is delivered, which examinations pupils enter, what happens after Year 10 and where recent leavers progressed.

Rehearse an international relocation after two years. Ask each school what transcript, curriculum record and language evidence it would provide, then ask a likely receiving school how placement would be decided. Familiar curriculum words do not guarantee a place or identical year mapping.

Audit support without assumptions

Ask who identifies language, learning, developmental or wellbeing needs, what support occurs inside class, when an outside assessment is requested and which provision carries an extra fee. Neither current ledger entry publishes a usable learning-support tariff.

If support is important to acceptance, request the responsible staff member, frequency, group size, duration, review date and price. Separate English acquisition from other learning needs. A general assurance is not a child-specific plan.

Test the real family week

Kids Avenue is in Surasak, Si Racha; BJP is in Nongprue, Banglamung. Drive both routes at intended arrival and collection times, including work, sibling stops and activities. Record door-to-door time on a normal weekday and repeat the uncertain route during rain.

Confirm transport separately because Kids Avenue publishes no transport tariff while BJP prices bus at ฿2,000–฿10,000 a month. Ask for pickup windows, likely vehicle time, supervision and cost. Place both school calendars beside family work dates and identify care required outside core hours.

Finish the offer meeting

1. Placement: exact class, hours, language pattern and next class.
2. Learning: programme map, current work and reporting evidence.
3. Cost: acceptance cash, complete first year, recurring year and refund exposure.
4. Support: named provision, staffing, review and price.
5. Transition: Kids Avenue’s age-six primary move or BJP’s later programme and credential audit.

Save the offers, calendars and placement answers together. Write why the selected classroom fits this child now and how the next transition remains workable. Keep every missing charge or support commitment open until the school confirms it in writing.
