Burapha English-Programme School of Thailand.

Twenty-five years
of bilingual EP.
Parent of BPIS.

BEST has run the English Programme (Thai-English bilingual) at Pre-K through Year 6 since 1998 — 25+ years in the format. The pragmatic Pattaya pathway for Thai-foreign families: BEST primary, then BPIS international secondary. Roughly half the cost of a pure international education from age 2 onwards while still producing English-medium graduates ready for Cambridge IGCSE. Thai Ministry of Education accredited. Same campus and owner family as BPIS — siblings often run the BEST→BPIS pathway together.
