The one-line version: Ang Thong is better provided than most provinces its size — it has an actual degree-granting university campus, a bachelor's-level college of dramatic arts, a technical college nearly ninety years old that now awards its own degree, and two more vocational colleges. What it does not have, on everything we could check, is a single international-curriculum school. If your children need an IB or Cambridge programme, this page is where the province stops working for you.
Tertiary and vocational education
| Institution | Level | Location | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thailand National Sports University, Ang Thong Campus | University — bachelor's degrees | 39 Moo 8, tambon Chaiyaphum, Chaiyo district | Under the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, and the province's only degree-granting university campus. Three faculties: Sport Science and Health, Liberal Arts, and Education. It descends from the old Angthong Physical Education College and runs an international-studies office covering undergraduate admissions, visa guidance and the academic calendar. We have not verified its founding year and do not publish one. |
| Ang Thong College of Dramatic Arts | Bachelor's level, via the Bunditpatanasilpa Institute | Mueang Ang Thong, immediately east of Ang Thong Hospital | One of the twelve colleges of dramatic arts under the Bunditpatanasilpa Institute, Ministry of Culture, teaching Thai classical dance, music and drama from secondary through to bachelor's level. Established under the Fine Arts Department's 1978 regional-expansion policy and transferred to the Institute in 2002. |
| Angthong Technical College | Vocational certificate, high vocational certificate, and a bachelor's in technology | 2 Thetsaban 10 Road, tambon Talat Luang, Mueang Ang Thong | Founded on 7 July 1936 as a primary carpentry trade school at Wat Thong Khung, moved to its present 41-rai site in 1938, renamed Angthong Trade School in 1959 and raised to technical-college status in 1980. Since 2022 it has also offered a two-year continuing Bachelor of Technology in Automotive Technology. |
| Pho Thong Industrial and Community Education College | Vocational | 53 Moo 2, tambon Bang Chao Cha, Pho Thong district | Serves the north-west of the province, in the same tambon as the Ban Bang Chao Cha basketry village. Founding date not verified. |

Schools
| School | Type | Location | Detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Angthong Pattamarot Wittayakhom (โรงเรียนอ่างทองปัทมโรจน์วิทยาคม) | Thai state secondary, OBEC | Mueang Ang Thong | The province's historic provincial school, formerly Angthong Pattamarot Ratbamrung. It runs an SMTE gifted stream — Science, Mathematics, Technology and Environment — at lower-secondary level (M.1–M.3). |
| Satri Angthong School (โรงเรียนสตรีอ่างทอง) | Thai state secondary, OBEC | 66 Moo 3, tambon Sala Daeng, Mueang Ang Thong | Founded on 17 May 1939 as the provincial girls' school after splitting from Angthong Pattamarot, and moved to its present 33-rai site in 1978. Now co-educational, teaching lower and upper secondary. |
| Angthong Sports School (โรงเรียนกีฬาอ่างทอง) | Specialist sports school | Ang Thong | Feeds into the sports-university ecosystem the province has built around the Chaiyo campus. |
| International-curriculum school | None identified | — | We could not find an IB, Cambridge, British or American-curriculum school anywhere in Ang Thong. See the honesty note below — this is 'none identified', not a verified negative. |
On the international-school question, precisely
We want to be exact about the strength of this finding, because "there are none" and "we found none" are different claims and only one of them is true here. What we did: we opened the International Schools Association of Thailand's member directory, which lists 207 schools, and read the listings; the one apparent Ang Thong hit turned out to be a false positive matching a Bangkok district name rather than this province. We also ran Thai-language searches for an international school in Ang Thong, which returned nothing in-province — the closest thing to a signal was a public forum thread from someone asking the same question, answered entirely with schools in Ayutthaya, Saraburi, Lop Buri, Sing Buri, Suphan Buri and Chai Nat. What we could not do: apply the ISAT directory's province filter cleanly, because it is a scripted widget that did not respond to a direct request. So we did not obtain a filtered zero, which is what a hard negative would require. The honest published statement is: no international-curriculum school identified in Ang Thong; the nearest realistic options are in Ayutthaya and Bangkok. If you find one we missed, we would rather know.
