Siriwat Wittaya is one of Thailand's oldest bilingual schools, founded in 2006 and operating under the Baimai Phli Schools System alongside sister schools in Chiang Mai and other Thai cities.
It is not a conventional international school: it is a Thai Ministry of Education-licensed bilingual school with a Cambridge Programme layer, open to all nationalities from Nursery (18 months) through Year 13. The curriculum blends Thai national requirements with Cambridge IGCSE at secondary, English instruction across core subjects, and a Math-Science mainstream that runs through both primary and secondary. Some subjects are taught in Thai only, some bilingual, and some in English only, which is a structure worth understanding clearly before enrolling.
The community is predominantly Thai families seeking strong English and Cambridge credentials at a fraction of full international school fees, alongside international families who want Thai Ministry accreditation alongside the Cambridge pathway. The campus is on Permsin-Orgern Road in Sai Mai, northern Bangkok, a quiet residential district well beyond the central expat corridor.
No BTS or MRT serves the area; families drive or use the school bus. For families living in Sai Mai, Lak Si, Don Mueang, or northern Bangkok who want a Cambridge-anchored bilingual education at accessible Thai-school fees, Siriwat Wittaya offers something genuinely different from the rest of this comparison.

Key Facts
Everything parents need to know about SWS
Siriwat Wittaya School is a Cambridge-aligned English Program school operating under the Thai Ministry of Education framework, part of the Baimai Phli Schools System, with a named sister school in Chiang Mai (Siriwat Wittaya Bilingual School, described by the school as "the first English Program school in Northern Thailand") alongside Wichai Wittaya School and Chindamanee School in the same network.
Founded in 1964, it teaches from Nursery at 18 months through Year 13 on a single Sai Mai campus capped at around 750 students. Identity sits in the middle of the Thai-international spectrum: not a true international school, but a bilingual private school with Cambridge IGCSE exit qualifications, a maths-science emphasis, and native English-speaking homeroom teachers in the International Cambridge Track at primary level.
The school positions itself as one of the more affordable English-medium options in Bangkok and markets warmth and community rather than prestige. The president is Mr. Nurbek Bopoev and the director is Dr. Siriporn Saenrat. Day-to-day, classrooms are small by Thai private standards, capped at 25 in Nursery and Kindergarten and 30 in Primary and Secondary, and air-conditioned with smart boards.
The Kindergarten model places a native English homeroom teacher, a Thai teacher and a nanny in every room, with EYFS-style play alongside Thai language and culture. Primary and Secondary use MAP Growth testing, RAZ-Kids and IXL for individualised progress tracking, and offer Chinese and Turkish as additional languages. Co-curricular activities run after class on a Monday-Thursday or Tuesday-Friday rotation and include robotics, taekwondo, dance, choir, and academic competitions like TeenEagle, Owlypia and the International Math Challenge. Sport access includes a swimming pool with instructor, futsal and football fields, and basketball courts; swimming is compulsory from Kindergarten through Primary 2.
Trade-offs to weigh: the school is candid that it cannot adequately support students with significant learning differences, and Year 8 onwards entry without strong English is conditional or refused outright. Boarding is not offered. The campus sits roughly two to three kilometres from the nearest BTS station, Bhumibol Adulyadej Hospital (N21) on the northern Green Line extension, which means a car or bus is realistic for most families outside the Sai Mai and Permsin area.
Fees and external Cambridge exam costs are published in a downloadable PDF rather than on the website itself. Best for Thai and dual-national families in northern Bangkok who want a Cambridge-route bilingual school at a manageable price, with small classes and a recognisable family-school culture.
