Crest School is one of the most unusual schools in Bangkok, and the format is the starting point. It is a secondary-only school, occupying the 12th floor of MBK Tower on Phayathai Road in Pathumwan, serving students from Years 10 to 12.
There are no sports fields, no swimming pool, no sprawling campus. What there is instead is a deliberately small, career-focused Australian curriculum school in one of the most central and transport-accessible locations in the city, a short walk from both National Stadium BTS and MBK.
The Australian curriculum provides the academic framework, with a career-based strand built in from the start. Test preparation and portfolio development are included in tuition rather than offered as paid extras, which is a genuine structural advantage for families managing secondary costs. Tuition runs 355,000 THB per academic year, flat across all year groups, making this one of the most clearly priced and accessible secondary-only options in Bangkok.
The school operates on a two-semester system: August to December, then January to May. For families with a secondary-age child who want a small, focused, urban school with Australian curriculum credentials at a transparent and accessible price, Crest is unlike anything else on the Bangkok map.

For Parents
Crest School Bangkok is a senior international learning centre on the 12A floor of MBK Tower in Pathum Wan, delivering the Western Australian Curriculum (WACE) alongside the Thai Ministry of Education core syllabus to produce a dual high school diploma.
Founded in 2025 by LEARN Corporation, the parent group behind tutoring brands OnDemand, EduSmith, Appa and Ignite, the school covers only Years 10 to 12 (Matayom 4 to 6) and channels every student into one of four career-led streams: Global Medical, Global Engineering, Global Business or Global Social.
Each pathway is mapped to specific university faculties from medicine and biomedical science through to law, public policy and entrepreneurship. The academic register is overtly career-orientated, with test prep for IELTS and SAT plus portfolio building bundled into the tuition rather than sold separately, which is unusual in Bangkok.
Day-to-day life sits inside a high-rise commercial tower rather than on a green campus, so the experience leans urban, compact and time-efficient. Students take the BTS to National Stadium or Siam, walk through the mall and head upstairs; the school day runs Monday to Friday from 08:30 to 16:30, with optional after-school tutoring tagged on. T
he cohort is small and predominantly Thai, drawn from families who want a recognised Australian credential without sending teenagers abroad at sixteen, and the medium of instruction is English with Thai used for Ministry-required subjects. Headmasters Natcha Palapipat (Cambridge, University of Pennsylvania) and Jirapat Taechajongjintana (King's Scholar, Stanford) front the academic team, while OnDemand founder Sutee Assavavimol chairs the school advisory board. Co-curricular life leans into Model United Nations, job simulations, internships, competitions and community service rather than a traditional inter-school sports programme, which suits the building. Trade-offs are real: there is no swimming pool, no full football pitch and no large drama auditorium, and the school is brand new with no graduating cohort yet to benchmark against.
Crest School Bangkok will best fit Thai and mixed-heritage families with teenagers in late lower-secondary who already have a target degree in mind, want both an Australian Year 12 certificate and a Thai Matayom 6 certificate, and prefer a sky-rise tutorial-style environment over a sprawling suburban campus.
