The process

How admission works

  1. Enquiry & Visit

    Get in touch and book a personal tour. You will meet our team, see the classrooms, the pool and the grounds, and ask everything you need to.

    Book a visit
  2. Application

    Complete the online application form. It takes a few minutes and lets us understand your child’s age, background and any support they may need.

  3. Application Fee

    Pay the THB 3,000 application fee. It covers the student assessment and the application procedure, and is non-refundable and non-transferable.

    See all fees
  4. Assessment Day

    Your child comes in for a short, relaxed assessment with the teacher whose class they would join. It is not an exam — it simply shows us where they are with language, numbers and confidence, so their teacher knows how to support them from the first day.

  5. Confirmation

    We confirm the place in writing. The registration fee and security deposit are payable at this point, before your child starts.

  6. Join Us

    Uniform, bus route and start date are arranged with the School Secretary. Your child joins their class — and their family joins ours.

What a morning at ISPG looks like

Not sure where your child fits?

Children join us mid-year as well as at the start of one, and stage placement is based on readiness rather than birthday alone. If you are unsure which year group applies, send us your child’s age and current school year and we will tell you exactly where they would start.

Common questions

Admission questions families ask us

How do I apply for a place at ISPG?

There are six steps: enquiry and a personal visit, the online application form, the THB 3,000 application fee, a short assessment day for your child, written confirmation of the place, and arranging uniform, bus route and start date with the School Secretary.

What ages does ISPG accept?

From age 2 to age 11 — Nursery (2–3) and Casa (3–5) in Kindergarten, then Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 across Years 1 to 6 in Primary.

Does my child have to sit an entrance exam?

There is no written entrance exam and no pass or fail. The application fee covers a short assessment day: your child spends time with the teacher whose class they would join, so we can see where they are with language, numbers and confidence and support them properly from the first day.

Can we visit the school before we apply?

Yes, and we recommend it. A personal tour takes about an hour and covers the classrooms, the pool and the grounds, with time to ask the team anything you need to.

Can my child join part-way through the school year?

Yes. Children join us mid-year as well as at the start of one, and stage placement is based on readiness rather than birthday alone. Send us your child’s age and current school year and we will tell you exactly where they would start.

How much is the application fee?

THB 3,000. It is non-refundable and non-transferable, covers the student assessment and the application procedure, and does not on its own guarantee a place.
