Start with structure, then compare price. REPS Ban Chang publishes Thai MoE bilingual · Cambridge + Oxford supplementary materials for ages 1–18. 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. 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. REPS evidence retains its current published status.

REPS Ban Chang publishes Thai MoE bilingual · Cambridge + Oxford supplementary materials for ages 1–18. 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 its current programme, age span and teaching languages in writing.
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. REPS Ban Chang publishes ฿84,800–฿153,800/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.
REPS Ban Chang: 2026/27, checked 27 July 2026. 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. Published figures use standard tuition before full-year-payment discounts; discounted figures are labelled as such. 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.
REPS publishes weekly and full 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.
REPS publishes a current 2026/27 fee band and follows a Thai Ministry bilingual route through Secondary 6. BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded an English National Curriculum pathway, IGCSE preparation through Year 10 and a separate GED option, but the former route was unavailable on 24 August 2026; confirm BJP’s current programme and tariff in writing.
Ask both schools to put the proposed class, start date and placement basis in writing. At REPS, request the current timetable. At BJP, require a current written programme map showing teaching language by subject, IGCSE preparation and the post-Year-10 route because those features came from the 27 July 2026 snapshot and the former route was unavailable on 24 August 2026.
The 27 July 2026 BJP snapshot described GED preparation as a distinct option from its IGCSE pathway. The former route was unavailable on 24 August 2026, so an older applicant must obtain current written confirmation of examination registration, awarding body, subjects and intended credential, then verify important recognition questions independently.
Observe a normal lesson in the proposed year. Note teaching language, how unfamiliar work is explained, how pupils receive feedback and how teachers respond to different working speeds. Request anonymised pupil work and the report format parents receive. A materials brand or curriculum label is less informative than evidence from the class the child will join.
If language or learning support may be needed, ask who assesses it, what provision occurs in class, frequency, group size, review date and cost. BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded an ESL tuition row, but the former route was unavailable on 24 August 2026; require current written confirmation of provision and price. REPS has no current public learning-support tariff, so obtain any child-specific provision and price in writing.
REPS annualised tuition is ฿84,800 for Nursery, ฿105,400 for Kindergarten, ฿129,400 for Primary and ฿153,800 for Secondary. Application is ฿1,000; enrolment is ฿10,000 for Nursery or Secondary and ฿20,000 for Kindergarten or Primary; the refundable damage deposit is ฿10,000. A ฿10,000 non-refundable waiting-list booking fee applies when used.
REPS also publishes optional extra classes at ฿9,900 per semester, bus at ฿18,100–฿27,700 per semester and visa documents at ฿15,000 per family. Kindergarten tuition includes lunch, snacks, milk and resources, but do not extend that inclusion to other grades without written confirmation. Weekly boarding is ฿80,000 per semester and full boarding ฿85,000, plus a refundable boarding deposit.
The 27 July 2026 BJP snapshot recorded ฿80,000 for Preschool, ฿100,000 for Kindergarten or Reception and ฿120,000 for Primary, Secondary and ESL, with ฿12,000 annual registration and separately priced extras. The former route was unavailable on 24 August 2026, so none of those figures is a current public tariff; require a current, grade-specific written BJP quote.
The 27 July 2026 BJP snapshot also recorded added instalment costs and sibling discounts. Its former route was unavailable on 24 August 2026, so compare REPS with BJP only after BJP confirms the current payment pattern, discount eligibility, boarding status, refundability and due dates in writing.
REPS publishes continuity through Secondary 6 in the Thai bilingual route. The 27 July 2026 BJP snapshot recorded a span ending at 16, but the former route was unavailable on 24 August 2026; require current written confirmation of the endpoint, next route, application timing and transcripts before enrolment.
Run one relocation scenario for both schools. Ask a likely receiving school how it would place the child and which reports, examination records and language evidence it needs. This turns vague portability claims into a concrete document and timing check.
REPS is in Pala, Ban Chang; the retained BJP record places that school near Siam Country Club in Banglamung. Confirm BJP’s current entrance and contract address, then drive both routes at actual school times and include work, siblings and activities. If considering REPS boarding or either bus, obtain exact pickup, return, supervision and weekend arrangements rather than treating transport as a solved line item.
Finish with one sheet covering placement, language by subject, classroom evidence, complete costs, support, travel and the next pathway checkpoint. Save the offers and calendars together and resolve every documented mismatch before the acceptance deadline and before paying any non-refundable charge.
REPS publishes a Thai bilingual route through Secondary 6. BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded an English 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 BJP programme and age span in writing.
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. REPS Ban Chang publishes ฿84,800–฿153,800/yr standard tuition. A current price comparison is not supportable until BJP supplies a dated, grade-specific written quote including compulsory extras.

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.
