Scholarships and discounts.
Read the small print.
Current published concessions range from a 2% full-year tuition discount at SISB Rayong to 100% Regents scholarship award levels. Routine sibling discounts reach 25% at ISE. Each applies to a different base and may not stack.

// 01 · The answer
Three different
kinds of saving.

A scholarship, an annual-payment discount and a sibling concession solve different problems. A scholarship is selective and may be reviewed each year. An annual-payment discount exchanges liquidity for a lower tuition invoice. A sibling concession depends on child order and may apply only to tuition or a one-time entry charge.
The headline percentages are therefore not a league table. Regents' 100% figure is a published scholarship award level, not a routine family discount. ISE's 25% is for a fourth or subsequent child's tuition. SISB's 2% is available for full-year tuition payment. None reduces every item on the first-year bill.
| Published rate | Tuition saving | Tuition after saving | What it does not prove |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2% | ฿10,000 | ฿490,000 | That entry fees, meals, bus or support are discounted |
| 3% | ฿15,000 | ฿485,000 | That the discount uses the whole annual tuition base |
| 5% | ฿25,000 | ฿475,000 | That it stacks with a sibling or scholarship award |
Use the school fees hub to find the published tuition base, then use the real-cost guide to add entry fees, deposits, lunch, transport and support. The saving belongs on one labelled line, not over the whole budget.
// 02 · Selective awards
Published
scholarships.
Regents publishes the largest award level. Its Signature Scholarship page lists 25%, 50% and 100% levels, plus Junior awards of 5%–20%. Awards are limited. They normally run for one year and require reapplication; the Academic Excellence Scholarship may run for up to two years. The public page does not promise that every level is open in every category or year.
Garden publishes the clearest scope. Students entering IGCSE or the IB Diploma may apply for academic, arts, global-citizenship or sports scholarships. The maximum is 25% of tuition only. The award replaces other discounts, excludes examination fees, trips and resource funds, and is reviewed annually. Applications may be made at any time, normally for the following academic year.
| Route | Published value | Eligibility / duration | Costs left outside | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Regents Signature Scholarships | 5%–20% Junior; 25%, 50% or 100% levels | Selective; usually one year, Academic Excellence up to two | Not itemised on the overview page; require the award letter | Official source ↗ |
| Garden scholarships | Up to 25% of tuition | Entering IGCSE or IBDP; four award categories; annual review | Exams, related administration, trips and resource funds | Official source ↗ |
| French state AEFE aid for eligible EFIP families | Means-tested; no guaranteed percentage | French nationality, consular registration, residence and other criteria; apply to the consular service | Depends on the decision; annual budget is limited | AEFE criteria ↗ |
A maximum award is not a price. Ask which fees the percentage covers, whether the award survives a mid-year review, what happens if the child changes programme, and which behaviour, attendance or performance conditions can end it. Budget the undiscounted amount until the school issues a signed award.
// 03 · Cash timing
Annual-payment
discounts.
Ten current sources publish a full-year payment concession. Nine use 2%–5% of annual tuition as the base. Wells is the important exception: its fee sheet says 3% of second-semester tuition, which equals 1.5% of annual tuition when the two published semesters are equal. Quoting Wells as “3% off the year” would double the saving.
| School | Published saving | Applies to | Timing / status | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SISB Rayong | 2% | Tuition paid for one full academic year | 2026/27; Term 1 due 11 June 2026 | Official source ↗ |
| Rugby Thailand | 3% | Annual tuition paid in full | By 13 August 2026 | Official source ↗ |
| ISC Pattaya | 3% | Full-year tuition; published annual figures already include it | Paid in Term 1 before the due date | Official source ↗ |
| Highgate Thailand | 3% | Full annual tuition payment | Before the academic year starts | Official source ↗ |
| Wells Chonburi | 3% of Semester 2 | Entire year prepaid; this is 1.5% of annual tuition when both semesters are equal | 2026/27 fee terms | Official source ↗ |
| Belfry International | 5% | Annual tuition paid in full; separate green family figures need clarification | 2026/27; Term 1 due 5 June 2026 | Official source ↗ |
| Regents Pattaya | 5% | Annual tuition and boarding fees | Paid in full before 31 July 2026 | Official source ↗ |
| TPIS | 5% | Annual tuition in the dated fee PDF; live page conflicts | 2026/27; get the controlling term in writing | Official source ↗ |
| ISE | 5% | Full-year tuition prepayment | 2026/27 fee terms | Official source ↗ |
| MIS | 5% | Full-year tuition, stated as additional to the sibling discount | 2026/27 fee terms | Official source ↗ |
Do not compare a school's already-discounted annual column with another school's term-by-term total. ISC labels its annual figures as inclusive of 3%; Regents labels its full-year column as inclusive of 5%. If the invoice does not show the standard tuition, the saving and the discounted tuition separately, ask finance to do so.
// 04 · Family concessions
Sibling rules
are not uniform.
ISE reaches 25% for a fourth or later child, but many schools start at 5% for the second. Regents begins only with the third child. MIS gives 5% to both first and second children when two are enrolled. Wells uses fixed-baht reductions. ISC reduces the one-time registration charge rather than publishing a sibling tuition discount.
| School | Tuition concession | Entry-fee concession | How to read it | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ISE | 2nd 5% · 3rd 15% · 4th+ 25% | Enrolment waived from 3rd child | Largest routine percentage found | Official source ↗ |
| BJP Elite | 2nd 10% · 3rd 15% · 4th 20% | No reduction published | Tuition only | Official source ↗ |
| Rugby Thailand | 2nd 5% · 3rd 10% · 4th+ 15% | Maximum two acceptance fees per family | Tuition remission and entry rule are separate | Official source ↗ |
| EFIP | 2nd 10% · 3rd+ 15% | No reduction published | Same-family children | Official source ↗ |
| TPIS | 2nd 5% · 3rd 10% | 50% off enrolment for younger siblings | The PDF does not state a 4th-child rate | Official source ↗ |
| MIS | Two children: 5% each · 3rd+ 10% | No reduction published | Unusually, both first and second receive 5% | Official source ↗ |
| Highgate Thailand | 2nd 5% · each later sibling 10% | No reduction published | 2026/27 | Official source ↗ |
| REPS | 2nd 5% · 3rd+ 10% | No reduction published | Current live fee page | Official source ↗ |
| SISB Rayong | 2nd 5% · later children 10% | 20% off enrolment for 2nd+ | The separate new-student promotion can change | Official source ↗ |
| Regents Pattaya | 3rd 5% · 4th+ 10% | No reduction published | No sibling tuition reduction for the second child | Official source ↗ |
| Wells Chonburi | 3rd ฿100,000 · 4th ฿160,000 | Campus fee: 2nd saves ฿80,000; 3rd–4th waived | Fixed baht, not a percentage | Official source ↗ |
| ISC Pattaya | No tuition reduction published | Sibling registration ฿20,000 vs ฿70,000 standard | A ฿50,000 one-time saving | Official source ↗ |
For a family quote, list every child in age order and ask which child the school treats as first. Then request separate lines for tuition, enrolment or acceptance, deposits and optional services. If one child leaves, ask whether the remaining children's order — and therefore the discount — changes immediately or next academic year.
// 05 · Promotions and conflicts
Do not budget
an ambiguous offer.
Regents referral promotion: the live page advertises 10% tuition for a qualifying referred family and the referring family, potentially through 2028/29 when the new student starts between 1 March and 31 October 2026. But the same page both says the referral discount cannot combine with sibling discounts and separately answers that families still qualify for the school's sibling discount. Treat stacking as unresolved and require a signed offer. Official source ↗
TPIS payment conflict: the dated 2026/27 PDF says annual payers receive 5% off tuition. The live fee page separately says Terms 2 and 3 receive 2% discounts. Those statements may describe different payment mechanics, but the public sources do not reconcile them. Ask which document controls the invoice. Live fee page ↗
Belfry family tariff: the 2026/27 PDF is labelled “4th year Family” and also shows a second 5% discounted line beneath each tariff. It does not define “4th year Family” or clearly state whether the green line is cumulative with the annual-payment column. The numbers are not treated as an available family discount here. Official source ↗
Sirasartsuksa's undated page: it labels annual figures as discounted, but gives no academic year or eligibility terms and its semester and annual tables do not reconcile. Use it only to formulate questions, not to set a budget. Official source ↗
Assumption Sriracha's payment-window saving: the official Term 1/2569 notice gives a ฿1,000 reduction for SWIS payment by 30 April 2026 and ฿500 from 1 May to 30 September 2026. This is a dated reduction on a partial term schedule, not an annual tuition discount. Official Term 1 notice ↗
// 06 · Who this suits
Who should use —
and skip — this page.
This guide suits families who already have a viable shortlist and want to compare the current public levers that can reduce tuition or entry charges. It is also useful before a scholarship application because it separates selective awards from automatic payment and sibling rules.
Skip this page as proof of affordability if enrolment depends on guaranteed means-tested aid, if the child needs an award to remain for several years, or if paying the full year would strain emergency cash. Most schools publish commercial concessions, not open-ended bursary commitments. A scholarship maximum, referral campaign or ambiguous “family” tariff is not money until the signed offer states the amount, fee base, duration, review conditions, refund treatment and stacking rules.
Ask finance for one line-by-line quotation at the child's exact grade and start date. It should show standard tuition, every saving as a negative line, compulsory extras, refundable deposits, the amount due now and the amount due later. That format makes a real offer comparable with the undiscounted totals in the fees hub.

// FAQ
Quick answers
before you apply.
Which Pattaya school publishes the largest scholarship level?
Regents Pattaya publishes Signature Scholarship award levels of 25%, 50% and 100%, plus Junior awards of 5%–20%. Awards are limited and normally last one year; the Academic Excellence Scholarship may run for up to two years. A published maximum is not an automatic entitlement or a promise that an award is currently available.
Which school publishes the largest sibling tuition discount?
ISE publishes the largest routine percentage in the sources checked: 5% for the second child, 15% for the third, and 25% for the fourth and subsequent children. Other schools use different child-order rules, fixed-baht reductions or reductions to enrolment charges, so compare the actual family invoice rather than the headline percentage.
Can school discounts be combined?
Sometimes, but never assume they stack. MIS explicitly says its annual-payment discount is additional to its sibling discount, while Garden says a scholarship replaces other discounts. Regents' referral page contains conflicting statements about combining its referral reward with sibling concessions, so families should obtain the controlling terms in a signed offer before paying.
Is an annual-payment discount always worth taking?
Not automatically. A 5% tuition saving can be meaningful, but paying early reduces liquidity and may expose more money to non-refundable or withdrawal terms. Compare the saving with the school's refund policy, payment deadline, your child's fit risk and the return available on cash before choosing the annual-payment option.
