St Andrews Dusit is a small, close-knit British primary school set in one of Bangkok's most distinctive locations: a quiet residential pocket on Sawankhaloke Road in Dusit, just outside the grounds of Chitralada Palace. Founded in 2010 and part of the Cognita global network, it serves children from Nursery through Year 6 (ages 2 to 11), with the English National Curriculum tailored to the Thai context.
Around 100 to 150 students in total, from over 25 nationalities, with Thai families making up the majority alongside a broad international mix. Class sizes are small and the pastoral culture is genuinely warm. The school positions itself as a community as much as a school, and families consistently describe it that way.
The natural onward pathway from Dusit is St Andrews Sukhumvit 107, where students continue from Year 7 through to Sixth Form, keeping the St Andrews continuity intact. Fees are accessible by Bangkok British school standards, making this one of the more affordable Cognita network entry points in the city.
The Dusit district is in northern central Bangkok, close to the old government quarter, with reasonable access to the BTS via Victory Monument and MRT via Hua Lamphong. For families living in Dusit, Phaya Thai, Ratchathewi, or the older residential districts of northern Bangkok, this is the most practical British primary option in that part of the city.

What You Should Actually Know About St. Andrews Dusit
St. Andrews International School Dusit is a British primary school in central Bangkok serving children from age 2 to 11, covering Pre-Nursery through Year 6. The campus opened in 2010 with five children and now teaches around 350 students across roughly 20 classes, with a stated capacity of about 400. It belongs to the St. Andrews International Schools Thailand family, owned by the Cognita global group.
The curriculum is the English National Curriculum adapted to a Thai and international setting, with the Early Years Foundation Stage framework running through Nursery and Kindergarten. The site is small, single-campus, and deliberately capped.
Students leaving Year 6 typically transition to the group's secondary at Sukhumvit 107 or St. Andrews Green Valley in Rayong for IGCSE, A Level, and IB Diploma pathways. Classes are small by Bangkok standards: 16 in Nursery, 18 in Kindergarten and Reception, 20 in Years 1 and 2, and 22 in Years 3 to 6. Adult-to-child ratios run from 1:4 in Nursery to 1:11 in upper primary, supported by teaching assistants in every room.
Teaching staff are mainly UK trained, holding UK-recognised teaching qualifications, and the Early Years rooms operate on play-based continuous and enhanced provision rather than worksheets. The site itself is purpose-built and packs in a 25-metre swimming pool, a separate Early Years pool, a sports hall, a dance studio, three music practice rooms, an 8,000-book library, a sensory room, and a rooftop garden on one compact plot beside Chitralada Palace.
Over 50 after-school activities run each term, and the student body is a mix of Thai and expatriate families. Trade-offs are real. Dusit stops at Year 6, so families committing here are also committing to a transition to Sukhumvit 107 or Green Valley for secondary, which means a second school search or a long commute later on.
The campus sits in old Bangkok rather than the expat belt of Sukhumvit, so traffic from Thonglor, Phrom Phong, or Bang Na can be brutal at rush hour. A capital levy or one-off enrolment fee is charged on top of tuition, and EAL support is paid extra beyond intermediate level. Best for families living in northern or western Bangkok, around Ari, Dusit, Ratchaphruek, or Pradipat, who want a small British primary with strong pastoral care and a clear in-group secondary pathway.
