ACS published only partial charges; Highgate’s boarding was planned, without a confirmed operating offer in those documents.

Regents is the only boarding record in this set with a school-published annual-payment saving on the boarding line. Its term instalments total ฿447,000; the former 5% full-year-payment price was ฿424,650, a ฿22,350 saving available only for payment before 31 July 2026. That deadline has passed. Rugby publishes part, weekly and full boarding prices as annual amounts; no separate boarding discount line is stated on the boarding section of the fee PDF.
Assumption College Sriracha and Highgate both belong in the planning discussion, but the July 2026 sources did not support a clean annual boarding comparison for either. ACS publishes boarding provision and a current combined Term 1 notice for selected cohorts, while Highgate had no operating boarding offer or published tariff in the July 2026 sources.
| School | What is public | Why it stays separate | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Assumption College Sriracha | Boys boarding from Primary 1–Secondary 6; girls from Primary 5–Secondary 6. Combined Term 1/2569 day-and-boarding totals for selected returning cohorts run from ฿25,600 to ฿108,930. | The school does not publish a separately itemised boarding tariff or a full-year all-cohort annual schedule. | Boarding page · SWIS fee notice |
| Highgate | Boarding is planned, not operating. On 7 October 2026 the Admissions page said boarding will open for Senior School students in 2028/29. | No boarding tariff is published. In July 2026 the homepage had also given 2027 and 2028 dates, so confirm the opening year in writing. | Homepage · Admissions page |
Part or flexi boarding. Rugby published part boarding at ฿285,100 a year, below its weekly and full rates. It was the only part-boarding annual fee found in the July 2026 documents checked for this guide; ask other schools directly about any unpublished arrangements.
Weekly boarding. REPS publishes ฿160,000 a year, Garden ฿297,000 and Rugby ฿417,700. These schools follow different curricula and boarding arrangements; ask what each charge covers before comparing the totals.
Full boarding. Published full boarding runs from ฿170,000 at REPS to ฿493,800 at Rugby. Regents' published annual figure is effectively a full-boarding number from Year 3, but it is shown as one boarding total rather than weekly versus full split. Families should ask exactly how weekends, leave-outs, laundry, trips and medical supervision are handled before assuming two "full" offers are equivalent.
These boarding prices cover different curricula and residential arrangements. A lower boarding charge alone does not establish a comparable school offer.
The published information for ACS and Highgate is partial or planned. Ask each school for current boarding terms and a written price before comparing them with the annual tariffs above.
