Lycée Français International de Bangkok (LFIB) - French International School of Bangkok

AEFE’s current school register lists Petite, Moyenne and Grande Section; CP, CE1, CE2, CM1 and CM2; Sixième to Troisième; and Seconde, Première and Terminale, with official recognition for all 15 stages. LFIB’s maternelle page describes French national education from age three, with play, language, practical activities and a separate early-years building. Confirm the current entry age, class and available place directly.

In primary, the British International Section describes six hours a week: four in English language and two in integrated subject learning. It also describes French/English co-teaching for some subjects. Secondary international provision includes English language/literature and subject teaching in English, including history-geography and civics. Admission and continuation are assessed; it is not an automatic pathway for every pupil.

The secondary page describes the international brevet and Baccalauréat Français International pathways. It says interested families have arranged the optional IGCSE Literature exam with the British Council themselves since 2025. Ask about actual year-group options, French-language support, learning needs, assessment and any extra charges. No exam result or individual support placement is guaranteed.

The 2026–27 tariff separates French/Thai/EU pupils from other nationalities. In those two groups respectively, annual tuition is: maternelle or elementary 297,750 / 375,400 baht; collège 368,200 / 463,500; Seconde 386,400 / 485,600; Première 389,800 / 490,150; Terminale 434,800 / 527,700. The criterion is the pupil’s nationality. These are tuition figures, not a total first-year quotation.

The same tariff lists a 150,000-baht first-registration charge and 5,000-baht application fee. Annual canteen charges are 22,880 baht for maternelle/elementary and 24,540 for secondary; canteen is compulsory through Troisième and optional in lycée. The secondary British International Section/BFI supplement is 22,000 baht. The older HTML fee table differs; obtain a current itemised quote under the September 2026 tariff.

The 2026–27 rules describe annual payment or 40%/30%/30% instalments due by 15 October, 15 December and 15 March. They make the application fee non-refundable and the first-registration fee non-transferable and non-refundable after a pupil has attended at least one day. For mid-year arrival or departure, each started month is charged in full at one tenth of annual tuition; temporary absence gives no tuition reduction. Ask about the complete contract, exclusions, meals, books, optional activities, support services and withdrawal process.

The admissions page says new pupils are welcomed at the start of the school year in early September and during the year. It describes an application file, any school testing, the 5,000-baht application fee, payment and confirmation. Use the official admissions page and ask the enrolment team about the intended stage, assessment, language route and current places before making plans.

The school checklist includes family-record or birth documents, parent and pupil passports as applicable, vaccination records, current school confirmation, current and previous reports, and a leaving certificate. Terminale applicants have additional examination documents. Dual-nationality and parental-custody circumstances have specific requirements. Obtain the current checklist for your own circumstances directly from inscriptions@lfib.ac.th.

The official calendar page links a 2026–27 calendar. Exact term and holiday dates were not established from readable text, so consult that document and confirm dates with the school. Term-time reception hours and individual pupil timetables are separate.

The school and AEFE give 498 Soi Ramkhamhaeng 39 (Thep Leela 1), Wang Thonglang, Bangkok 10310 and 02 934 8008. AEFE publishes administration@lfib.ac.th; the school’s financial regulation names inscriptions@lfib.ac.th for enrolment and facturation@lfib.ac.th for billing. Confirm the correct department, appointment and entrance.

The dedicated school contact page gives Monday–Friday 07:15–17:00 in term and 08:00–12:00 outside term. Its footer instead gives 07:30–16:30; Maps gives weekdays 07:15–16:30 and weekends closed. The periods use dedicated contact-page term hours, with map-listed weekend closure. Confirm reception, holidays and visits; pupil timetables differ.

Arrange the correct reception and gate, especially for maternelle, whose own page describes a separate building and a pupil day of 07:55–14:05. Ask about current transport, parking, accessibility, meal arrangements and any individual support needs; these details are not established for every visitor or pupil.
