When it comes to choosing an international school in Samut Prakan for your child, a country with many international schools, and many programs to choose from, it is one of the most important decisions any parent has to make. This article highlights 6 major considerations that can help you select the best international school for your child.

1. Curriculum
These include the British Curriculum (IGCSE & A-Level), American Curriculum (AP), International Baccalaureate (IB), and of other countries’ curricula. You will want to select the option best aligned for your child’s long-term educational goals.

2. Cost and Tuition
There are a variety of costs for international schools in Samut Prakan. Tuition fees start from hundreds of thousands to millions of baht a year. Beyond tuition, remember to factor in other costs like school supplies, lunch and after-school activities.

3. Location and transportation
This should be possible when you know where to go and how, right? Traveling long can impact your child’s nap time and health. Make sure there is a school shuttle and what the traffic situation is like during peak hours.

4. School size and students per classroom
This plays a role in how close a teacher gets with their students, since you have your big schools with a ton of students in them or your small schools that have close to none. If you want your kid to get good treatment, it is better to have a school with fewer students per class.

5. Infrastructure and Other Activities
The school should have all the facilities like a modern classroom, library, sports field and science laboratory. Plus, co-curriculars like music, sports and clubs are key facets to build in kids.

6. School Atmosphere and Society
The climate of a school impacts how children behave and feel. Select a welcoming, safe school that allows all students to belong. A truly international school will help your kids learn and understand each other’s culture.

There are so many factors to consider when choosing an international school in Samut Prakan for your child; curriculum, tuition fees, facilities, opinions of others. Parents may also consider gathering feedback from those with experience, such as hearing from other parents who have sent their children. We hope this helps you to decide on the most suitable education for your child and their future.
