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.
REPS Ban Chang publishes Thai MoE bilingual · Cambridge + Oxford supplementary materials for 1-18; BJP publishes English National Curriculum pathway · IGCSE pathway through Year 10 · GED preparation · ESL support for 2-16. Ask for a current weekly timetable, not only a curriculum logo, so you can see which subjects are actually taught in each language.
REPS Ban Chang publishes ฿84,800–฿153,800/yr; BJP publishes ฿80,000–฿120,000/yr. Compare the grade-specific total after mandatory registration and extras, not the endpoints alone. If the range covers very different ages, the child’s own row matters more than either endpoint.
REPS Ban Chang: Fees verified Jul 2026 from the official 2026/27 image. BJP: Fees verified Jul 2026. A primary-undated schedule is school-published but cannot safely be assigned to an academic year. Save the dated school document or email alongside the offer.
Compare each published age span with the year your child needs. If either school ends before graduation, shortlist the next school and price that transition now. REPS publishes weekly boarding at ฿160,000/year and full boarding at ฿170,000/year, plus a ฿10,000 refundable boarding deposit. BJP: no boarding in the record.
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.
