MIS vs Regents.

Side by side.

MIS and Regents both use their school-published 2026/27 schedules. MIS all-in rows add compulsory supplementary charges; Regents rows use standard tuition before its 5% annual-payment discount. Bus, boarding, examinations and assessed support are stated separately.

MIS all-in rows add its compulsory supplementary fee before comparison. MIS remains lower at the displayed peers: Year 7 all-in ฿442,500 versus Regents standard ฿765,000; Year 10 all-in ฿524,700 versus ฿890,000; and MIS Year 12 all-in ฿609,000 versus Regents Years 12–13 standard ฿899,000. Regents’ 5% annual-payment option reduces those standard figures. Add entry, transport, boarding and assessed support separately.

Compare the usable place.
Not the brand tier.

MIS and Regents both publish British routes in Banglamung, but a child-specific decision needs more than the large difference between their headline fee bands. Reconcile the proposed class, senior pathway, support, scale and complete first-year cash requirement before ranking either offer.

Match the exact class and pathway

Ask both admissions teams to state the child’s proposed year, the placement evidence and the next three curriculum stages. At senior level, ask for the subject combinations actually available to the child’s likely cohort, minimum numbers for a class to run and guidance on choosing a route. Regents’ published A-Level and IB Diploma optionality should be tested at subject level; MIS families should do the same for its published A-Level route.

For a younger child, compare the daily classroom rather than extrapolating from sixth-form labels. Observe an ordinary lesson, request a current timetable and look at anonymised pupil work from the proposed class. Record how teachers explain unfamiliar tasks, group pupils, give feedback and communicate progress to parents.

Reconcile complete costs

Request two dated, grade-specific invoices on the same basis. Include application, enrolment or registration, deposit or retainer, tuition, meals, transport, books, uniforms, trips, examinations, devices, clubs and any language or learning support. Separate compulsory from optional lines and money due before attendance from charges payable later. If one quotation shows an early-payment discount, place its standard amount beside the other school’s standard amount before considering the discount and its deadline.

Regents publishes a 5% annual-payment discount when the 2026/27 tuition is paid by 31 July 2026, plus separate enrolment, examination, experiential-learning and boarding amounts where applicable. Use only the lines relevant to the child, but do not treat discounted tuition as the complete first year. Ask MIS to identify every inclusion and unpriced extra in the same categories, then record the recurring year after one-time charges fall away.

Test support and scale

Ask who assesses language, learning or wellbeing needs, what can be provided in class, which services carry an additional fee and how progress is reviewed. If support matters to enrolment, request staffing, frequency, group size, duration, review date and price in writing. A broad support statement is not equivalent to a provision plan for this child.

Compare how the child responds to each campus’s class organisation and wider scale. Ask for the actual class size and adult staffing in the offered year, not a schoolwide average. For Regents, distinguish day-school routines from boarding provision unless boarding is genuinely under consideration; for MIS, test whether its classroom model and community give the child the structure or independence they need.

Measure the real week

Drive both routes at the intended arrival and collection times, including work, sibling stops and activities. If transport is under consideration, obtain the exact pickup window, route length, supervision and tariff. Put each school calendar beside the family calendar and include care required outside core hours. A journey that appears similar on a map can create a materially different school day.

Finish with one evidence sheet covering placement, teaching, complete first-year and recurring cost, support, commute and the next pathway checkpoint. Save the fee terms, calendar and offer email together. Any missing charge, subject-availability question or support commitment remains open until the school answers it in writing.
