St Andrews Bangkok Primary is the founding campus of St Andrews International School Bangkok, established in 1997 and part of Nord Anglia Education. It sits on a peaceful, green site on Pridi Banomyong 20/1 off Sukhumvit 71 in Vadhana, a quiet residential pocket of central Bangkok with easy reach of Thong Lo and Ekkamai BTS.
Foundation Stage through Year 6, ages 2 to 11, with over 1,000 students from 50-plus nationalities. The campus has a notably calm feel for its size: colonial-style buildings, shaded gardens, and colourful playgrounds that families consistently describe as a genuine oasis in the city.
The English National Curriculum is followed throughout, with a non-selective admissions policy and strong in-class learning support. Nord Anglia partnerships with MIT and The Juilliard School reach into the primary curriculum, not just secondary.
The natural progression is to the purpose-built High School campus at 1020 Sukhumvit Road, 200 metres from Ekkamai BTS, where students continue from Year 7. Fees run from roughly 284,000 to 508,000 THB annually at primary level. For families arriving into the Sukhumvit corridor with primary-age children, St Andrews Primary is one of the most centrally located and consistently well-regarded entry points in Bangkok.

What You Should Actually Know About St Andrews International School Bangkok Primary
St Andrews International School Bangkok occupies a primary-only campus on Soi Pridi Banomyong 20/1, off Sukhumvit 71, serving children from age 2 in Foundation Stage 1 through to Year 6. It belongs to Nord Anglia Education's network of 89 schools in 37 countries, and runs as the all-through partner to the school's purpose-built High School campus on Sukhumvit Road.
The teaching framework is the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) followed by the English National Curriculum through Key Stages 1 and 2, taught in English by mainly UK, Australian and North American staff.
The Juilliard-Nord Anglia Performing Arts Collaboration launched in 2015 (which has reached more than 59,000 students network-wide) and an MIT STEAM partnership shape specialist lessons inside the regular timetable, while a UNICEF social-purpose strand underpins the school's Eco-Beasts house system and global citizenship work.
The primary site retains a low-rise, colonial-style feel of four classroom blocks around a central quadrangle, with manicured gardens, dedicated early years zones and a Year 6 area. Specialist facilities include a 25-metre outdoor saltwater swimming pool, a separate heated learner pool, two gymnasiums, an Astroturf football pitch, indoor and outdoor basketball and badminton courts, a STEAM studio, an Apple-equipped digital classroom, dance and drama studios, an art studio with kiln, a music suite with practice rooms, a soft-play room and a primary library and media suite. The Global Languages Programme runs from Year 1 onward, with mother-tongue First Language lessons offered in French, German, Japanese, Korean and Mandarin alongside compulsory Thai language and culture, and Modern Foreign Language options in Mandarin, French or Spanish. A Learning Support department and an EAL programme provide additional in-class and pull-out provision, charged separately.
The school is non-selective and one of the larger primary-only intakes in central Bangkok, which means a wide ability range and a sizeable Thai and Japanese parent community sit alongside expatriate families. Class sizes average around 18 in Early Years and 23 in Years 1 to 6, supported by teaching assistants at ratios of 1:6 in Foundation Stage and 1:10 from Key Stage 1. Tuition for 2026-27 runs from 400,700 THB in FS1 (half day) up to 682,000 THB in Years 3 to 6, with a one-time 160,000 THB Enrolment Fee from Year 1 (or a 25,000 THB-per-term Capital Levy alternative). Families considering the school typically weigh the inclusive admissions policy and rich enrichment programme against an off-BTS location requiring shuttle or paid bus travel from most parts of Sukhumvit.
