Shrewsbury International School Bangkok City Campus

Purpose-built for primary education on a 17-rai site between Rama 9 Road and Petchaburi Road, City Campus opened in 2018 as the junior arm of Shrewsbury Bangkok, a school with institutional ties to Shrewsbury School UK, founded by Royal Charter in 1552. The campus runs the British National Curriculum from Nursery through Year 6 for children aged 2 to 11, and all Year 6 completers are contractually guaranteed a place at Shrewsbury Riverside for secondary education. An optional Hanqing Bilingual Pathway offers a 50/50 English-Mandarin immersion stream from Early Years through Year 6, integrating native-speaking teachers for both languages and a specialist Chinese Maths teacher from Year 1. The school is best suited to Thai families and long-stay expat families who want a defined, uninterrupted primary-to-secondary pathway through a single school network.

Teaching in Early Years combines the Reggio Emilia approach with the UK EYFS framework, emphasising child-led, project-based discovery in purpose-built spaces including a forest school, splash pool, and dedicated EY gardens. From Year 1, the British National Curriculum is delivered through theme-based units in mixed-ability classes of approximately 20 students, with a teacher-to-student ratio of 1:8. The campus achieved CIS accreditation in 2024, a credential that validates its educational practices against international standards and facilitates transfers to other CIS-accredited schools globally. Located in the Sukhumvit-Rama 9 corridor, the campus is not walkable from MRT Petchaburi or MRT Rama 9, and most families rely on private vehicles or the four-zone school bus service.

The student body is predominantly Thai, estimated at around 75% of enrolment, across approximately 40 nationalities, making City Campus less internationally diverse than some expat families may expect. Families enrolling in Nursery are committing to a long-term pathway that routes to Riverside for secondary, a separate campus across the city. Additional costs beyond tuition include paid external activity providers, individual music tuition, school bus fees, and uniform. Best for: Thai families and long-stay expat families in the Rama 9 or Sukhumvit area seeking a rigorous British primary education with guaranteed progression into one of Bangkok's most academically recognised secondary schools.
