Boarding is rare on the Eastern Seaboard. Five schools in this directory publish current boarding provision: Rugby School Thailand, Regents International Pattaya, Garden International School Rayong, Royal English Programme School in Ban Chang and Thai-curriculum Assumption College Sriracha. Highgate International School Thailand is included as a planned sixth pathway, not a current boarding school; its official pages conflict between 2027 and 2028/29. This hub compares published fees, age entry, curriculum and the day-vs-boarding trade-off for relocating families.

Rugby School Thailand (from Year 6), Regents International School Pattaya (from Year 3), Garden International School Rayong (from Year 5), Royal English Programme School in Ban Chang and Thai-curriculum Assumption College Sriracha publish current boarding provision. Highgate is a planned sixth pathway, not a current option: its Admissions page says 2028/29, while its homepage contains both 2027 and 2028 statements. Garden and REPS publish full-year boarding prices; Assumption publishes combined Term 1/2569 day and boarding totals for selected returning cohorts, not a separately itemised or full-year boarding tariff.
Rugby publishes part, weekly and full boarding; Garden and REPS publish weekly and full options; Regents publishes full boarding. Assumption confirms boarding but does not publish a separate full-year tariff.
