This comparison is deliberately not a price ranking. SISB Rayong publishes a trilingual international route from age two and 2026/27 tuition of ฿401,700–฿789,300. BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded an English-medium route from preschool through Year 10, plus GED and ESL options, at ฿80,000–฿120,000 tuition. Grade continuity, qualification evidence and compulsory extras matter as much as the headline gap.

SISB’s current tariff and the retained BJP snapshot are both labelled 2026/27, but they are not equally current evidence. SISB publishes a Singapore-to-Cambridge sequence toward AS/A-Level. BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded an English National Curriculum pathway through Year 10, an IGCSE pathway, GED preparation and ESL support; the former route is unavailable and current provision requires confirmation.

SISB’s current tariff and the retained BJP snapshot are both labelled 2026/27, but BJP’s former route is unavailable. Align the child’s proposed class and obtain a current BJP written tariff before placing SISB’s entry, resources, meals, ELS and transport rows beside any BJP registration, materials, insurance, canteen, bus, uniform, instalment, examination or support charge.
SISB publishes 2026/27 tuition of ฿401,700–฿789,300. BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded 2026/27 tuition of ฿80,000–฿120,000 plus a ฿12,000 annual registration fee and priced materials, insurance, food, bus and uniforms; it is not a current public tariff.
SISB moves from EYFS and Singapore Primary into Cambridge IGCSE and AS/A-Level. The 27 July 2026 BJP snapshot described an English-medium National Curriculum pathway through Year 10, an IGCSE pathway, GED preparation and ESL support; confirm current provision.
SISB’s tariff reaches Grade 12 while 2026/27 new applications stop at Grade 10. Families considering BJP must first verify that the snapshot-described route still operates, then document open grades, subjects, examination entry, GED format, post-16 progression and every compulsory extra.
SISB’s current record and BJP’s retained snapshot overlap from age two through Year or Grade 10, yet their scale, language patterns and exit routes differ. SISB combines English, Thai and Mandarin with Singapore and Cambridge stages. The 27 July 2026 BJP snapshot recorded English as the main medium, with Thai and French also listed; confirm the current language model.
Ask both schools to state the child’s proposed class, start date, age cut-off and following year. SISB publishes Nursery through Grade 12 fee rows, though 2026/27 new applications stop at Grade 10. BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded preschool through Year 10, plus separate GED and ESL options.
Do not translate Grade and Year labels by number alone. Request the placement test, class equivalence, current cohort and written progression route. For a teenager, make the Year 10 transition a first-meeting question rather than a future detail.
SISB records English, Thai and Mandarin. Ask for weekly allocation, subject language, newcomer support and the transition from Singapore stages into Cambridge qualifications.
The 27 July 2026 BJP snapshot recorded English as the medium, Thai and French as a secondary foreign language; confirm the current language allocation. Ask which subjects each teacher delivers, how English proficiency is assessed, how the published ESL route connects to mainstream classes and whether French runs for the child's cohort.
At both visits, request anonymised work and the report format. Observe how teachers explain unfamiliar tasks and whether language support builds independent subject learning.
SISB’s 2026/27 tuition runs from ฿401,700 to ฿789,300. Application and assessment are ฿5,000 each, enrolment ฿220,000 and deposit ฿50,000. Resources are ฿30,500–฿84,000, meals ฿26,400–฿39,000 and ELS ฿20,000–฿30,000 per term.
BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded ฿80,000 for preschool, ฿100,000 for Kindergarten/Reception and ฿120,000 for Primary, Secondary or ESL. It also recorded ฿12,000 annual registration, making the historical tuition-plus-registration band ฿92,000–฿132,000 before other services; none of these figures is a current quote.
The 27 July 2026 BJP snapshot recorded books and course materials at ฿2,000–฿17,500 yearly, accident 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. It recorded ฿5,000 added for two instalments and ฿10,000 for three. Obtain the current payment and service offer before calculating a total.
SISB publishes Cambridge IGCSE and AS/A-Level after its Singapore stages. Confirm which senior grades currently operate, accept newcomers and offer each subject at the Rayong campus.
BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot described a school pathway through Year 10, with IGCSE and GED labels; confirm the current programme in writing. If either route still operates, ask which subjects run, which examination centre enters pupils, whether every pupil follows that route, what a current GED offer includes and where recent pupils progress.
Rehearse relocation after two years. Request the transcript, curriculum map, grading scale, exam evidence and teacher references each school would supply. A lower written bill may carry extra transfer preparation if the next school expects a different sequence.
SISB publishes ELS at ฿20,000–฿30,000 per term. BJP does not publish a usable language- or learning-support tariff in the current ledger.
If support matters, request the staff member, group size, minutes per week, review date, progress measure, exit criteria and price. Separate English acquisition from other learning needs.
Bring existing reports before assessment and ask admissions to state any limitations in writing.
SISB’s published sequence reaches Cambridge IGCSE and AS/A-Level, but the Rayong campus opened in 2023 and its 2026/27 new-applicant range stops at Grade 10. Ask which secondary grades are operating now, how many pupils are in each cohort, which IGCSE subjects are taught and when the first Rayong AS/A-Level cohort is expected.
BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded an IGCSE pathway through Year 10 and separate GED preparation. Ask whether either option has a current cohort, who awards or enters the qualification, how the timetable works and what university-counselling evidence current pupils receive.
For either school, request anonymised subject-choice forms, a sample transcript, the examination calendar and the counselling timeline.
The 27 July 2026 BJP snapshot recorded a school-published Thai Ministry of Education accreditation claim, but the current ledger does not carry independent accreditation or examination-centre evidence. SISB’s current ledger record also does not list a campus-level accreditation.
Ask each school for the campus-specific register or examination evidence that applies to the child's programme, then compare teacher qualifications, class size, homework and reporting cadence. Keep registration separate from curriculum, qualification and teaching-quality claims.
SISB publishes a 2% full-year tuition discount, sibling tuition discounts of 5% for the second child and 10% for later children, and a 20% enrolment reduction from the second child. BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded sibling tuition discounts of 10% for the second child, 15% for the third and 20% for the fourth.
Do not apply a BJP snapshot discount until a current written offer confirms eligibility, the tuition base, annual registration and any instalment surcharge.
SISB is in Nong Taphan, Ban Khai; 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 arrival and collection times, including work and sibling stops.
BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded bus at ฿2,000–฿10,000 monthly depending on direction and distance. SISB excludes transport from standard fees. SISB is a day school; the BJP snapshot also described day-only provision, but current transport and operating arrangements require confirmation. Request exact address quotes and test vehicle time.
Save offers, fee schedules, calendars and placement answers together.
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 for a starting assessment, mid-year report and anonymised work from the proposed class. At SISB, trace English, Thai and Mandarin into Singapore and Cambridge stages. If BJP confirms the snapshot-described programme still operates, trace current English-medium classwork into any IGCSE pathway and ask how ESL pupils demonstrate readiness to join mainstream lessons.
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, illness procedures, late collection and activities. SISB prices meals and resources separately. The 27 July 2026 BJP snapshot recorded canteen, bus, books, insurance and uniform outside tuition, so model the child's actual routine rather than comparing tuition alone.
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.
SISB is in Nong Taphan, Ban Khai; the retained BJP record gives Permsub Garden Resort near Siam Country Club in Banglamung. Confirm BJP’s current entrance and contract address, verify SISB’s entrance, and test gate queues, parking and the return journey before payment.
SISB is day-only in the current ledger. The retained BJP snapshot also described day-only provision and a wide monthly bus band; confirm current operating and transport arrangements, pickup time, route duration, supervision and price in writing.
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, SISB may be usable; BJP enters the comparison only if admissions confirms that the snapshot-described English-medium primary route still operates. At age eleven, compare live secondary subjects, cohort size, language support and the documented next qualification.
Before signing, compare the two schools’ invoice language line by line. Ask each admissions team to mark every compulsory, optional, refundable and one-time row, then calculate cash due before the first day, the complete first year and a normal later year. For BJP, use only current written registration, payment-plan, material, insurance, food, bus and uniform figures.
Also rehearse a mid-year move. Ask what notice is required, which reports and curriculum records would be released, how deposits are returned and whether prepaid services are refundable. Families using the Eastern Seaboard industrial corridor should test both routes at real collection time, because a lower fee cannot compensate for an unsustainable daily journey.
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 correct the offer email, retain both 2026/27 schedules and note who supplied every grade and support answer. That record makes the decision auditable.
Yes. BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded lower headline tuition at every broad stage, while SISB publishes a current 2026/27 tariff. BJP’s former route is unavailable, so no current price ranking is supportable until admissions supplies a dated, complete written quote.
SISB publishes Cambridge IGCSE and AS/A-Level after its Singapore stages. The 27 July 2026 BJP snapshot described an IGCSE pathway through Year 10; families should verify current subjects and examination-centre evidence.
SISB publishes ages 2–18, with 2026/27 new applications through Grade 10. BJP’s 27 July 2026 snapshot recorded ages 2–16 and a school pathway through Year 10, plus GED preparation; confirm current BJP provision.
Ask for grade availability, tuition, application, assessment, enrolment, deposit, resources, meals, transport, trips, devices, ELS and refund terms.
Include tuition, mandatory annual registration, chosen instalment surcharge, books, insurance, canteen, bus, uniform, examinations, ESL or other support and refund terms.
Use the decision framework above to weigh curriculum, fees, continuity, location and your child’s fit.
