Berkeley International School Bangkok

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.
