A World-Class International School in Thailand

Description

Welcome to BASIS International School Bangkok. Our school opened in August 2019 and is the 35th international school to open in the BASIS Curriculum School network. We prove time and again that with the right support and encouragement, all students can achieve academic excellence. How? We set the bar high and help students develop the confidence to clear it. Our curriculum, paired with our expert teachers, helps students achieve whatever they put their hearts and minds to. It’s challenging, it’s rewarding, and it’s inspiring.

It’s what it means to learn at the very highest international levels.

A Brief History of BASIS Curriculum Schools

What happens when best practices from top education systems in the world—places like Singapore, Finland, and Shanghai—are infused with the creativity and spirit that defines American education? That’s what BASIS Curriculum Schools co-founders sought to answer after Dr. Michael Block discovered that students in his university classroom who were educated abroad were more prepared to excel in their studies, and when his wife, Olga Block couldn’t find a high school program in the U.S. for her daughter that matched the content depth of her own education from Eastern Europe. In 1998, they opened their first school in Tucson, Arizona. More than thirty-seven campuses and twenty-four thousand students later, BASIS Curriculum Schools is looked to as the gold standard in preparing students with the content knowledge, critical thinking, and creative problem solving skills needed to be successful in an increasingly complex world.

Accreditations

All BASIS Curriculum Schools are accredited by Cognia (formerly known as AdvancED), under the seal of the North Central Association Commission on Accreditations and School Improvement (NCA CASI) and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools on Accreditation and School Improvement (SACS CASI).

The result of AdvancED and Measured Progress, Cognia was formed to bridge the gap between school evaluation and student assessment. As a global non-profit working in over 80 countries, our 36,000 institutions serve and support nearly 25 million students and 5 million educators every day, Cognia is an undeniable force for enhancing schools, engaging students, and driving better outcomes for all.

Tuition

The fees at BASIS International School Bangkok are competitive when compared to other international schools in Thailand. We understand that parents are looking for a balance between cost and quality, and our fees are structured to provide maximum value. We offer transparency in our tuition fees, including other costs associated with attending an international school in Bangkok, such as application fees, registration fees, snacks and lunches, and textbooks and laboratory supplies. Certain after-school activity fees may also be charged.

Curricula

Creativity, innovation, and an engaging learning environment that is built upon traditional content knowledge is the signature of our worldwide learning community and the BASIS Diploma. Traditional 20th century education at its best gives students a well-rounded education with deep content knowledge but must be adapted to the 21st century.

BASIS Curriculum Schools are grounded in this tradition. However, we recognize that more must be done to prepare students to navigate the digitally connected, globalized, technologically explosive lives and international careers that await them. Continuous innovation and adaptation of teaching methods is key to the development of the BASIS Curriculum and is one of our core values.
