Berkeley does something rare in the Bang Na corridor: it runs a rigorous American curriculum on a genuinely impressive campus, at around 450 students total. That size is the differentiator. Families here consistently describe a close-knit community where their child is known by name, not lost in a crowd. Founded in 2010 and fully WASC accredited since 2014, the school follows the American Common Core framework from Pre-K through Grade 12, with AP courses at high school and a US college-preparatory pathway. Students from over 35 nationalities, with around 60% from Western countries. The campus is on Debaratna Road in Bang Na, easily visible from the Bangna-Trat highway, and well connected: Udom Suk and Bangna BTS stations are both nearby, as is the MRT Yellow Line at Sri Udom. Facilities punch above the school's size: 25 and 50 metre pools, a FIFA-standard grass football pitch, a 300-seat theatre, and a recording studio. Fees sit in the mid-to-upper range for American-curriculum schools in Bangkok. For families who want a US pathway, a real sense of community, and facilities that larger schools would be proud of, Berkeley is one of the most overlooked options in the Bang Na cluster.

What You Should Actually Know About Berkeley International School Bangkok

Founded in 2010, Berkeley is a WASC-accredited American college-preparatory school in Bang Na, running from Pre-K through Grade 12 with around 450 students. The curriculum follows US frameworks throughout: Common Core, NGSS, AERO, with Advanced Placement courses at high school and a US High School Diploma as the exit credential. No IB, no IGCSE, no A-Levels: this is a single-pathway school. Class sizes average 15 to 18 students, the community spans 35-plus nationalities with a pronounced expat-Thai mix, and teachers are drawn primarily from the US, Canada, and the UK. The campus facilities are unusually strong for a school of this size: a 50-metre Olympic saltwater pool, three indoor tennis courts, a 450-seat theatre, and a working garden. Annual tuition runs from roughly 519,200 THB at Pre-K to 839,200 THB in upper grades. For families in eastern Bangkok who want a close-knit American college-prep environment with serious facilities and small classes, Berkeley is worth a visit.
