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.
This comparison is deliberately not a price ranking. Kids Avenue publishes Thai-English early-years provision for ages 2–6 but no tuition tariff. BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded an English-medium National Curriculum and IGCSE route through Year 10, with a dated 2026/27 tariff. Obtain current written quotes from both schools before comparing complete totals.

Kids Avenue publishes no tariff, so there is no verified lower-price claim; BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded dated 2026/27 tuition plus annual registration. Compare the exact attendance pattern and hours, request every Kids Avenue line, and obtain a current BJP grade-specific tariff because the former route is unavailable. Meals, transport, care and compulsory materials remain open until quoted.
Kids Avenue publishes Toddler, Nursery, Kindergarten and after-school provision but no current tariff. BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded dated 2026/27 tuition of ฿80,000–฿120,000 plus ฿12,000 annual registration and priced service extras; the former route is unavailable.
Kids Avenue describes a Thai-English bilingual early-years programme without naming an external framework. BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded an English-medium National Curriculum and IGCSE pathway through Year 10, plus GED and ESL options. Confirm BJP’s current offer before comparing daily language exposure, teaching routines and progress evidence.
Kids Avenue ends at age six while BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded preschool through Year 10. Ask where recent leavers transferred, which records were supplied and when applications should begin. Neither route removes the need for a later school decision.
The retained evidence overlaps from age two through kindergarten. Kids Avenue is a Thai-English early-years specialist ending at six; the 27 July 2026 BJP snapshot described an English-medium route through Year 10, but current provision requires written confirmation.
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’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded preschool, kindergarten/reception, primary and secondary through Year 10. Similar ages do not make the labels or weekly hours identical.
BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded 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.
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.
The 27 July 2026 BJP snapshot recorded English as the medium, Thai alongside it and French as a secondary foreign language. Confirm that model still operates, then ask for the current weekly language split, curriculum map, assessment system and any 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.”
BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded 2026/27 tuition of ฿80,000 for preschool, ฿100,000 for kindergarten/reception and ฿120,000 for primary, secondary or ESL. It also recorded ฿12,000 mandatory annual registration, making the dated tuition-plus-registration span ฿92,000–฿132,000; request a current written tariff.
BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded 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.
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’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded continuity through Year 10 plus GED options. First confirm whether either route still operates; then ask how any current 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.
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.
Kids Avenue is in Surasak, Si Racha; the retained BJP record places that school in Nongprue, Banglamung. Confirm BJP’s current entrance and contract address, then 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.
Kids Avenue publishes no transport tariff. The 27 July 2026 BJP snapshot recorded bus at ฿2,000–฿10,000 a month, but the former route is unavailable; request current pickup windows, vehicle time, supervision and price from both schools. Place both school calendars beside family work dates and identify care required outside core hours.
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.
Arrive before the class begins and watch the transition from gate to room. Record how quickly the child separates, who welcomes them, which language adults use and whether the routine is understandable without repeated prompting. Ask what happens on a difficult morning and how parents are informed. A polished tour after children leave cannot answer these questions.
Ask both schools for an anonymised example of the starting assessment, a mid-year progress record and work from the proposed class. At Kids Avenue, look for evidence of development in Thai, English, early literacy, numeracy, physical coordination and social routines. If BJP confirms the snapshot-described route still operates, ask how current English-medium work maps to curriculum goals, any IGCSE pathway and the next year’s assessment expectations.
Record the balance of adult-led, child-initiated, individual and group activity during the visit. Ask how teachers adapt the same task for a child who is new to English, already reading or reluctant to join a group. The right environment is not defined by one teaching philosophy; it is the setting where staff can explain how this child will participate and progress.
Confirm arrival supervision, meals, allergies, toileting, rest, illness procedures, late collection and after-school care. Kids Avenue advertises after-school provision but publishes no tariff; request hours, staffing, food, booking rules and cost. BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded canteen prices but families must still confirm care hours and applicable meal arrangements, so confirm meals, allergy management, standard hours and any care charge in the written quote.
Place both calendars beside the family’s work calendar. Count closures that require alternative care and ask whether holiday programmes are offered, separately registered or guaranteed to enrolled pupils. A school-year tuition comparison does not capture care purchased during long breaks.
Kids Avenue’s school website and OPEC record use adjacent street numbers in Surasak, so verify the entrance and contract address before payment. The retained BJP record places that school in Nongprue; confirm its current entrance and contract address. Test parking, gate queues and the return journey, not just navigation to the map pin. If a grandparent, driver or caregiver will collect, have that person rehearse the route too.
For each school, finish the sentence: “This place works if…” Include the quoted total, language routine, classroom fit, support availability, care hours, travel ceiling and next-school plan. Then write the conditions that would trigger a review. This prevents a single attractive feature from hiding an unresolved cost or transition risk.
Run the same exercise for two future dates. At age six, Kids Avenue requires a new primary place; BJP could offer a longer runway only if admissions confirms that the snapshot-described primary route still operates. At age eleven, the 27 July 2026 BJP snapshot described continuity through Year 10, but parents must confirm the current programme and recheck IGCSE delivery, next-school route and complete price. This timeline keeps the possible runway visible without treating an unverified label as a guaranteed pathway.
Ask how each school handles a mid-year departure before assuming either transfer will happen neatly at the end of a stage. Record required notice, reports supplied, outstanding-fee conditions and whether unused services can be refunded. A family expecting relocation should weight these documented terms alongside teaching and price.
Do not pay while a condition remains material and unanswered. Ask admissions to attach corrections to the offer email, keep copies of the fee schedule and calendar, and note who supplied each answer. The resulting record gives the family a fair comparison even though Kids Avenue has no tariff while BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded dated 2026/27 tuition.
No. Kids Avenue publishes no current tuition tariff, so no verified price ranking is possible. BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded dated 2026/27 tuition of ฿80,000–฿120,000 plus mandatory annual registration; it is not a current quote.
No. Kids Avenue describes a Thai-English blended kindergarten programme without naming an external framework. BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded an English National Curriculum and IGCSE pathway through Year 10; confirm current BJP provision.
Kids Avenue serves ages 2–6 and requires a primary move. BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded a route from preschool through Year 10, with GED options; confirm current BJP provision.
Ask for tuition, hours, registration, deposit, meals, materials, uniform, trips, transport, extended care, payment dates and refund terms.
Ask for the exact grade, tuition, annual registration, payment-plan surcharge, books, insurance, meals, uniform, bus, examinations, support and refund terms.
Use the decision framework above to weigh curriculum, fees, continuity, location and your child’s fit.
