Overview

International School Bangkok, founded in 1951 on the grounds of the US Embassy, is Thailand's oldest international school and one of the most established American-curriculum schools in the region. It relocated in 1992 to its current purpose-built campus inside the Nichada Thani residential estate in Pak Kret, Nonthaburi, where it remains today. ISB runs a PK-12 American curriculum with an IB Diploma Programme option in the senior years, and has built one of Greater Bangkok's largest, longest-settled expat communities directly around the school itself -- many Nichada Thani families chose the estate specifically for its proximity to campus. BAANLYY is not affiliated with International School Bangkok and takes no paid placement in this guide; confirm all figures directly with the school, particularly current tuition, as fees are reviewed annually.

Highlights

Community & where families live

ISB's location inside Nichada Thani means a large share of its student body lives within walking or short-shuttle distance of campus, giving the school an unusually tight-knit, long-settled expat community compared with schools that draw commuting families from across the city. Families relocating specifically for ISB commonly look at housing inside or immediately around Nichada Thani for the shortest possible school run.
