Secondary curriculum and subject availability
BPIS publishes Key Stage 3 for Years 7–9, Cambridge IGCSE for Years 10–11 and AS/A-Level for Years 12–13. The public pages reviewed do not fully list the current A-Level subject offer. Ask which subjects run for the intended intake and how many pupils are in the relevant classes.
Campus and primary relationship
BPIS is at 253/17 Moo 13, Sukhumvit-Pattaya Alley 81, Nongprue, Banglamung. The related BEST school follows a Thai English Programme, while BPIS publishes a British secondary route from Year 7. A transfer from BEST should be discussed with both admissions teams; the public record does not establish automatic entry or a specific bridging course.
Guidance and alumni examples
BPIS publishes university guidance activity and names one alumnus studying at Chulalongkorn University. These examples do not establish a cohort-wide destination rate. Ask for dated graduate outcomes and the qualifications used for entry if this matters to the family.
Secondary provision
BPIS publishes Years 7–13 with Cambridge IGCSE and A-Level provision. Confirm the subjects and current teaching timetable for the child’s year.

Costs

Fee details
Sourced directly from BPIS's official school-fees page. Two semesters per year, not three terms. The page does not state an academic year. Its all-inclusive claim should be read alongside the 2025/26 handbook, which identifies paid extra classes and school-sold textbooks, uniforms and supplies without publishing their prices.

Primary-source conflict: the fee page says tuition is all-inclusive, while the 2025/26 handbook explicitly refers to paid extra classes and school-sold textbooks, uniforms and class supplies. The handbook does not say whether any of those are compulsory for a particular grade, and neither source prices them. External examinations, transport and trips are also unpriced in the public fee material. Do not estimate them. Require the written offer to mark each line included, optional, compulsory or not yet set.
What the published tuition covers
The fee page calls tuition all-inclusive, but the school’s 2025/26 handbook refers to paid extra classes and school-sold textbooks, uniforms and supplies. The public fee page has two displayed fee-term columns but no academic-year label or verified calendar. Transport, trips and external exams are also unpriced. Ask for payment dates and a current year-specific invoice marking each item included, optional or compulsory before treating the published tuition as the full bill.
For nearby alternatives with different fee structures, see MIS and TPIS; compare the same child’s year placement and inclusion list.
