普吉岛国际学校：逐年学费

Phuket has 12 international schools on 13 campuses in this revision (2026年9月5日), and they sort into three tiers by fee rather than by curriculum. At the top are the two schools that run to an IB Diploma and take boarders — British International School Phuket, UWC Thailand — where a secondary year costs up to 982,700 THB and a family pays a placement fee or development fund of 200,000 THB before the first term. The middle tier is the British-curriculum schools that go to A Level without boarding — HeadStart International School — Chaofah City campus, BCIS Phuket (Berda Claude International School), Kajonkiet International School Phuket, Lighthouse International School Phuket — with 2026/27 tuition in the 400,000–550,000 THB range for secondary years. The third tier is the small schools of the south and the Finnish, Montessori and American alternatives, where a primary year is 174,600 THB at International School of Phuket and rarely above 320,000 THB.

Across the 12 schools that publish a 2026–27 sheet, annual tuition runs from 174,600 THB (≈ $5,225) for the lowest year group to 982,700 THB (≈ $29,409) for the highest, converted at 33.41 THB per dollar (ECB reference rate, 2026年10月16日). The table above shows each school's own lowest and highest band; the school pages show every band on the sheet. In fee order: British International School Phuket 489,000–982,700 THB; Glenalmond Phuket International School 270,000–950,000 THB; UWC Thailand 345,000–933,000 THB; HeadStart International School — Chaofah City campus 347,000–540,000 THB; BCIS Phuket (Berda Claude International School) 302,000–502,500 THB; HeadStart International School — Cherngtalay campus 347,000–480,000 THB; Kajonkiet International School Phuket 285,000–454,000 THB; Finnway International School Phuket 260,000–447,000 THB; Oak Meadow International School Phuket 231,000–408,240 THB; Lighthouse International School Phuket 220,000–387,000 THB; Montessori House Phuket International School 241,000–305,700 THB; International School of Phuket 174,600–197,820 THB. QSI International School of Phuket does not publish a schedule and is listed without a figure rather than with a second-hand one.

The growth index follows one year group — Year 1 or its equivalent — through each school's past fee sheets, so a change in the top or bottom band does not masquerade as inflation. 9 schools have two or more published years on file, going back to 2022–23; the median increase is +4.3 % a year. The fastest riser is HeadStart International School — Chaofah City campus +28.0 % from 2023–24 to 2026–27 (+8.6 % a year on Year 1); the slowest is Lighthouse International School Phuket 0.0 % from 2025–26 to 2026–27 (0.0 % a year on Grade 1). School by school: British International School Phuket +13.6 % from 2023–24 to 2026–27 (+4.3 % a year on Year 1); UWC Thailand +6.6 % from 2024–25 to 2026–27 (+3.2 % a year on Grade 1); HeadStart International School — Chaofah City campus +28.0 % from 2023–24 to 2026–27 (+8.6 % a year on Year 1); BCIS Phuket (Berda Claude International School) +7.2 % from 2025–26 to 2026–27 (+7.2 % a year on Year 1); HeadStart International School — Cherngtalay campus +28.0 % from 2023–24 to 2026–27 (+8.6 % a year on Year 1); Kajonkiet International School Phuket +4.5 % from 2025–26 to 2026–27 (+4.5 % a year on Year 1); Lighthouse International School Phuket 0.0 % from 2025–26 to 2026–27 (0.0 % a year on Grade 1); Montessori House Phuket International School +10.4 % from 2022–23 to 2026–27 (+2.5 % a year on Lower Elementary (ages 6–9)); International School of Phuket +7.9 % from 2023–24 to 2026–27 (+2.6 % a year on Year 1 (annual-payment price)).

The school year starts in mid-August at every school on this list and is billed in three terms (two at some schools for the examination years). Admission is an application, the previous school's reports, an assessment or interview — an English-level test at the British schools, a mastery placement at QSI — and then the placement or entrance fee, which is what secures the seat. The large schools are the ones where timing matters: the IB and A-Level schools take their August intake from applications made the previous winter, and the entry years — Nursery, Reception and Year 7 — fill first. The placement fee is refundable at none of them, which is the mechanism by which a waiting list becomes a commitment. Mid-year entry is possible everywhere and is pro-rated by the weeks remaining; several schools print the formula.

Phuket's schools sit in three clusters and its families live in three others, so the bus matters. The Koh Kaew–Kathu–Wichit cluster on the east side holds British International School Phuket, HeadStart International School — Chaofah City campus, Kajonkiet International School Phuket, Finnway International School Phuket, QSI International School of Phuket; the Thalang cluster in the north holds Glenalmond Phuket International School, UWC Thailand, HeadStart International School — Cherngtalay campus; the Chalong–Rawai cluster in the south holds BCIS Phuket (Berda Claude International School), Oak Meadow International School Phuket, Lighthouse International School Phuket, Montessori House Phuket International School, International School of Phuket. The schools publish bus fees where they run a fleet — British International School Phuket 99,900 THB a year; Kajonkiet International School Phuket 72,600 THB a year, plus 20 % to the west and south coasts — and quote routes on request elsewhere. The distances in this catalogue are straight lines from each area's centre to the campus; the road is longer, and the west-coast hill roads and the 普吉镇 bypass are where a 10 km line becomes a 40-minute run at 7:30 in the morning.

The practical order is school first, area second, house third. 普吉镇 has 7 campuses within 8 km straight-line, 芭东 6 and 查龙 6; 奈通, 迈考 have none within that radius. Families at UWC Thailand and Glenalmond live in 拉扬, 邦涛, 奈扬 and the villa estates along Thepkrasattri Road; the HeadStart Cherngtalay campus was built for the same Bang Tao–Surin–Kamala families. The BISP, KIS, QSI and Finnway families live on the east side — Koh Kaew, Kathu, 普吉镇 — or ride the bus from the west coast. The south is its own market: BCIS, Montessori House, Oak Meadow, Lighthouse and ISP draw from 查龙, 拉威, 奈汉 and 卡塔, where the monthly rents on the area pages are also the lowest for a house with a pool. Each school page lists the five nearest areas with kilometres, and each area page lists the campuses within 8 km.

Every figure here is a published number from a school's own fee sheet — the current page or PDF, or a dated archive copy for past years — with the sheet named next to the figure and the retrieval date on the school page; where a school's site could not be read on the day, the schedule is taken from a schools database and marked as a secondary source. Nothing is estimated, averaged or converted from another currency: the dollar column is arithmetic at the dated exchange rate. The catalogue lists facts — curriculum, ages, memberships as the school states them, fees, one-off charges, distance — and does not rank teaching quality, examination results or reputation; the "who it suits" notes on each page are drawn from those facts.
