The experience
Learning and school life

English National Curriculum
The current home page states Early Years Foundation Stage and Key Stages 1-2. The school's philosophy describes observation, documentation, child interests and active learning, which may feel compatible with Reggio-influenced practice, but the current site does not present “Reggio Emilia” as the formal curriculum label.
More detail
The current school site names the English National Curriculum from EYFS through Year 6. Parents interested in a particular early-years pedagogy should ask teachers to show planning, classroom documentation and transition into Year 1 rather than relying on an inherited label.
Transition after primary
ISC ends after Year 6. NEASC accreditation does not create a secondary pathway, and the public site does not promise automatic entry to another school.
More detail
Families should begin secondary planning in Year 4 or Year 5, identify target curricula, and ask how ISC reports attainment for transfer. An English National Curriculum record may align naturally with a British secondary, but admissions tests, EAL expectations, deposits and place availability still apply. The relevant comparisons include BPIS for a lower-cost British secondary, MIS or TPIS for through-school continuity, and Regents for a larger premium campus.
Accreditation scope
NEASC's directory describes the accredited grade span as PS/PK-5, while ISC uses British labels EY1-Year 6. These can describe the same approximate age span under different systems. Accreditation also does not promise a particular class size, learning-support capacity or secondary placement.
More detail
NEASC names the campus and current status; its US-style grade labels do not replace the school’s British curriculum.
The fee picture
Costs
Exact sums of the school's published term instalments across nine programme bands, not a child-specific or current payable quote. The separate 3% annual-payment offer required full-year payment in Term 1 before its June 2026 due date, now past.

Fee details
The term sums below are calculated from the school-published Term 1, 2 and 3 rates. The earlier annual figures include a conditional 3% full-year payment discount tied to the June 2026 Term 1 due date; they are retained for source context, not presented as an offer available now.
| Programme | Term instalment sum | Earlier 3% annual offer |
|---|---|---|
| EY1-2 half-day / 2 days | ฿180,000 | ฿174,600 |
| EY1-2 half-day / 3 days | ฿210,600 | ฿204,282 |
| EY1-2 half-day / 5 days | ฿252,000 | ฿244,440 |
| EY1-2 full-day / 2 days | ฿199,800 | ฿193,806 |
| EY1-2 full-day / 3 days | ฿232,200 | ฿225,234 |
| EY1-2 full-day / 5 days | ฿271,800 | ฿263,646 |
| EY3 / Reception / 5 days | ฿304,200 | ฿295,074 |
| Years 1-2 / 5 days | ฿352,800 | ฿342,216 |
| Years 3-6 / 5 days | ฿370,800 | ฿359,676 |
Additional published charges: application ฿3,000; registration ฿70,000 for a first child, ฿20,000 for a sibling, waived from the third child in the same legally recognised family; insurance ฿2,000/year; EAL/learning support ฿21,000-฿70,000/year; lunch ฿9,360-฿21,960/year; bus ฿52,580-฿200,000/year. Foreign payments add USD 20. Late payment may add ฿100/day plus 1.25% monthly interest.
Entry charges
Application is ฿3,000, registration is ฿70,000 for a first child or ฿20,000 for a sibling (waived from the third child in the same legally recognised family), and annual insurance is ฿2,000. The fee page does not list a development levy. Using the term instalment sums, a first-child Reception baseline is ฿379,200 and a Years 3–6 baseline is ฿445,800 before lunch, bus or support. These are arithmetic examples, not school quotes.
Learning support charges
The fee page prices EAL or learning support at ฿21,000 for three sessions a week, with higher annual bands of ฿35,000, ฿49,000 and ฿70,000 for up to eight to ten sessions. Ask what assessment requires, whether sessions are group or individual, and whether they replace class lessons. A tariff does not establish that every learning need can be met.
Lunch and transport
Lunch is optional and costs ฿9,360 for the lightest two-day Early Years choice or ฿21,960 for five days. Annual bus totals are about ฿52,580 in Zone A, ฿55,450 in B, ฿72,000 in C and ฿87,310 in D. Zone E is ฿20,000 a month for ten months, or ฿200,000 annually. The school assigns the zone and says fuel surcharges may apply; request the exact supervised route and quote. For a returning Years 1–2 pupil, the term tuition sum plus five-day lunch and Zone B or D bus totals ฿430,210–฿462,070 before insurance or support.
Annual payment discount
Every published annual tuition figure includes a 3% full-year payment discount. The fee page requires payment in Term 1 before the due date, listed as June 2026, so that deadline has passed. For Years 3–6, term charges of ฿156,560, ฿117,420 and ฿96,820 sum to ฿370,800, versus the earlier discounted annual amount of ฿359,676, a ฿11,124 difference. Reception sums to ฿304,200 by term versus the earlier ฿295,074 annual amount. The lowest term sum, ฿180,000, is a half-day, two-day Early Years 1 or 2 place, not a five-day full-day place. Ask which charges and payment terms apply to a new enquiry now.
Age placement behind the fee rows
At 1 September, Early Years 1 is age two, Early Years 2 age three, Reception age four, Year 1 age five and Year 6 age ten. Pupils may turn eleven during Year 6, explaining the published age span of two to eleven. Ask the school to confirm placement from the child's birth date and completed curriculum before choosing a fee row.
Example of a first-year total
For a new Year 4 pupil using the published term instalment sum, with Zone C bus and five-day lunch, the components total ฿539,760: ฿370,800 tuition, ฿3,000 application, ฿70,000 registration, ฿2,000 insurance, ฿72,000 bus and ฿21,960 lunch. Three weekly support sessions would make ฿560,760. This arithmetic example is not a current child-specific quote.
