Compass perspective
Good fit if…
You want an English-intensive primary start with Thai and Mandarin alongside it, small classes and an international pupil mix, while keeping both Thai and international secondary routes open.
Think twice if…
Provision ends at P6 with no international qualification attached, and current fees are not published, so the real cost is harder to plan around.
Verify before applying
Ask for the current tuition by year group, the registration fee, and what meals, books and transport add. Confirm the documents required for a foreign-passport admission.
