★★Worth it·International school
NIST International School
โรงเรียนนานาชาติ NIST
The UN-founded IB school on Soi 15 — the most central of the big internationals, and the reason many families pick lower Sukhumvit.
The UN families' school that became one of Bangkok's Big Three — full IB from age three, sixty nationalities, and a campus tucked improbably behind Sukhumvit Soi 15. Waiting lists at popular entry years are serious.
For families
- Admissions run on published intake dates and most international schools have waiting lists for popular year groups.
- Curriculum varies — British, American and IB are all well represented in Bangkok.
- Campus tours are normally arranged in advance through the admissions office.
Check curriculum, fees, term dates and admissions contact when you arrive — we have no verified official site for this one.
