Affiliated with Shrewsbury School in the UK and established in Bangkok in 2003, Shrewsbury runs the English National Curriculum across two campuses — a through-school Riverside campus on the Chao Phraya for ages 3–18, and a City Campus near Rama 9 for the early and primary years.
The campus, and how you actually get there
Address: Riverside campus: 1922 Charoen Krung Road, Wat Phraya Krai, Bang Kho Laem, Bangkok. City Campus: 982 Rim Khlong Samsen Road (Rama 9), Bang Kapi, Huai Khwang, Bangkok.
Two distinct sites: a riverside through-school campus with the sports and boathouse estate the location allows, and a purpose-built city campus for younger children closer to the new CBD.
Getting there: Neither campus sits on top of a station. Riverside is a road or river approach off Charoen Krung in Bang Kho Laem; City Campus is off Rama 9 with expressway access and the MRT Blue Line the nearest rail. Both run bus networks and most families drive or use them.
Bangkok school runs are decided by traffic, not distance. Cross-check with the Bangkok getting-around guide and the BTS and MRT network before you commit to a neighbourhood.
The curriculum pathway
How a child progresses through the school, stage by stage:
- Early Years and Primary on the English National Curriculum (both campuses)
- Secondary and (I)GCSE at Riverside
- Sixth form at Riverside
Accreditation & memberships
Accreditation is the closest thing to an objective quality signal in international schooling — it means an outside body has inspected governance, teaching and safeguarding. BAANLYY does not rank schools, so this is what Shrewsbury International School Bangkok and its accrediting bodies publish, not our verdict:
- Council of International Schools (CIS)
- FOBISIA member
- BISAC and ONESQA affiliations
Boarding and the size of the school
Boarding: Day school — both campuses are non-boarding.
Scale: The Riverside through-school is one of the larger British rolls in Bangkok, reported in the region of 2,300 students. Roll and nationality figures move every year and schools report them differently — treat these as indicative and ask the admissions office for the current numbers.
Who this school tends to suit
Families wanting a large, traditional British through-school, and — via City Campus — younger children whose parents are based around Rama 9 and the newer CBD.
This is our editorial read for relocation planning, not a ranking or a recommendation — and no school pays to appear on BAANLYY. Visit shortlisted campuses before you decide.
Living near Shrewsbury International School Bangkok
Which campus you are feeding decides the neighbourhood entirely. Riverside families cluster along the river and in Sathorn; City Campus families sit around Rama 9.
Check the school's bus catchment before you sign — a home that looks close on a map can sit outside the route, and a home on the route can be twenty minutes further away and still be the easier morning.
What to confirm directly with the school
BAANLYY deliberately does not publish per-school tuition figures: they change annually, schools publish their own current schedules, and a stale number is worse than none. Take this list to the admissions office:
- Which campus your child's year group attends, and the transition point between City Campus and Riverside — this determines your neighbourhood for years.
- The current fee schedule — tuition, application and registration fees, any refundable deposit or capital/development levy, uniforms, lunches, the bus and trips.
- Whether the year group you need has a place, or a waitlist, for your intended start date.
- School bus routes, catchment zones and pick-up times for the neighbourhood you are considering — these matter more than straight-line distance in Bangkok traffic.
- Entry requirements: assessments, interviews, English-language support and the school reports or transcripts you must supply.
