Rugby vs. Regents
Rugby publishes A-Levels and boarding from Year 6. Regents publishes A-Levels or IBDP and boarding from Year 3. Compare year-group fees and entry charges.
In brief
School-published 2026/27 terms include a 2% full-year tuition discount at SISB Rayong and Regents scholarship award levels up to 100%. Some annual-payment deadlines have passed. Routine sibling discounts reach 25% at ISE. Each applies to a different base and may not stack.

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 2026/27 fee sheet lists 2% for full-year payment, but its Term 1 due date was 11 June 2026; confirm any current offer. 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.
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.

| 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.
Ten cited school sources describe a full-year payment concession. The 2026/27 payment deadlines for Rugby, ISC and Regents have passed; check eligibility with admissions before budgeting any saving. Other published terms also need a current written offer. 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.

Do not compare a school's already-discounted annual column with another school's term-by-term total. ISC and Regents both show discounted annual figures, but their June and July 2026 payment deadlines have passed. Use ISC's 2026/27 term sums of ฿180K–฿370.8K and Regents’ term sums of ฿464K–฿899K tuition and ฿447K boarding as the published standard basis, then request a current written quote. If the invoice does not show the standard tuition, the saving and the discounted tuition separately, ask finance to do so.
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.

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.
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
Published maximums, referral offers and family tariffs are possibilities, not an amount awarded to your child. Most public concessions are commercial terms rather than open-ended means-tested bursaries.
Search-result summaries, directories, social posts and verbal claims do not supply a figure on this page. The linked school or government source is the receipt. Where two official statements conflict, the page keeps the conflict visible instead of choosing the more attractive number.
