Overview

About British Columbia International School Bangkok

British Columbia International School Bangkok, known as BCISB, is at 606 Kanlapaphruek Road in Phasi Charoen. It serves kindergarten, elementary Grades 1–5, middle Grades 6–8 and high-school Grades 9–12, with a Pre-K programme for two-year-olds announced for August 2026. The IB’s own directory lists BCISB as an authorised PYP and MYP school, under code 063925. Grades 10–12 follow the British Columbia Graduation Program, leading to the Dogwood Diploma when its requirements are met. This distinction matters when comparing the programme for a particular child: the senior graduation route is British Columbia’s, rather than the IB Diploma Programme.

Following the school’s academic pathway

Inquiry in the early and middle years

The academic programme emphasises projects, questions and applying knowledge. Kindergarten blends play with early literacy, numeracy and social development. Elementary study connects language, mathematics, science, social studies, arts and physical education.

Building independence

Middle-school study develops organisation, research, communication and self-management alongside subject learning. The school describes design projects, performances, experiments, service and residential camps as ways to apply learning beyond a single classroom subject.

Graduation and planning ahead

At Grades 10–12, students combine core academic subjects with electives and career planning. Grade 12 includes a capstone project. The BC government’s offshore-school directory lists BCISB; its 2025 inspection report distinguishes the senior BC programme from the lower-school provision.

Campus spaces and school life

Learning and creative spaces

The school lists science laboratories, media and iMac facilities, music spaces, a hall, and separate early-years and elementary playgrounds. The 2025 government inspection also records a library, maker space and counselling provision.

Sport and everyday support

Campus information includes a gymnasium, swimming pool, covered sport space and school lunch facilities. A health office is listed on the contact page. Ask the school how meals, supervision, clubs and support are organised for the intended age group.

Visiting and applying

  1. 01

  2. 02

    Discuss assessment and entry timing

    Admissions describes reading, writing, decoding and numeracy assessment for placement. Its main assessment window is March, with assessment and enrolment also possible during the year. Ask about spaces, grade placement and the current calendar before making a reservation.

  3. 03

    Request a current cost breakdown

    The tuition page’s available fee image is labelled 2024–2025. Request the current applicable tuition and any registration, deposit, meal, transport, uniform or camp charges in writing. The page explains a refundable book deposit subject to condition and notes that bus charges may change by term.

Useful distinctions for families

Is BCISB offering the IB Diploma Programme?

The IB directory lists PYP and MYP for this school. Its Grades 10–12 graduation pathway follows British Columbia’s programme and leads to the Dogwood Diploma on successful completion.

Can a two-year-old join?

The school announced an August 2026 Pre-K launch for two-year-olds. Confirm the current programme, age cutoff,session pattern and available places with Admissions; the launch notice alone does not establish a current vacancy.
