A very small, project-led British-style school in Pong, Bang Lamung, built around mixed-age classes, a morning wellbeing check-in and storytelling-driven curriculum approaches. It is a genuine and distinctive alternative for a family who wants something other than a large campus — and it is also a school where the gap between what directories say it offers and what we can evidence is the widest of anything in this province.
Where the campus actually is
52/5 Moo 1, Pong, Bang Lamung, Chonburi 20150 — recorded by a schools directory whose profile for Odyssey is explicitly unclaimed by the school; we could not confirm the street address on the school's own site
Bang Lamung cluster, in Pong near Hastin and Highgate — a Pattaya-side school. Nothing about it works from the industrial corridor.
The academic pathway
- Early years and primary, in small mixed-age groups
- Secondary provision described as running up to age 16
- Weekly Thai, art and PE; outdoor and project-based learning is the school's stated core rather than an add-on
Leaving qualification: Not established. Directory summaries attach IGCSE and A-level to this school; we could find no mention of either on the school's own website, the school publishes no examination-board authorisation, and its own cohort structure tops out at age 16 — which is IGCSE age at the earliest and below A-level age entirely. Treat any IGCSE or A-level claim as aspirational until the school shows you a registered examination centre number
Accreditation, exam boards & membership
- None published. The school does not publish any accreditation on its own website, and we found no exam-board authorisation for it
- This is not automatically disqualifying for a small early-years and primary setting, but it is decisive if you need an externally examined leaving qualification
Boarding
A day school. No boarding.
Religious character
No religious affiliation is published.
Scale of the school
Reported at just over 30 students in total. That is the smallest school in this directory by a wide margin, and it is the number to lead with: a child arriving at thirteen may have very few, or no, classmates in their year.
Who it tends to suit
Families of younger children on the Pattaya side who actively want a tiny, progressive, project-led setting and are not depending on the school for external examinations. Not a fit for a family whose child needs IGCSEs on a fixed timetable.

Living near this school
Pong sits outside BAANLYY's Chonburi corridor area guides:
Confirm these with the school before you commit
- Ask, in writing, whether the school is a registered Cambridge, Pearson or OxfordAQA examination centre, and if not, at which centre its students would sit IGCSEs. If there is no answer, there is no IGCSE.
- Ask how many students are in your child's exact year group this year — with a total roll around thirty, the answer may be one or none.
- Ask what the school's plan is for a student who reaches sixteen there.
- Ask what Thai Ministry of Education licence the school holds and under what category it is registered.
- Establish which Chonburi the campus is in before anything else. Ask for the tambon (sub-district) and amphoe (district) in writing, put that into a map, and drive it from your own address at 07:00 on a weekday. 'Chonburi' covers both the Sriracha industrial corridor and the Pattaya hinterland at Bang Lamung, 40–60 km apart, and essentially every schools directory files both — plus Rayong province's schools — under a single 'Pattaya' heading.
- Ask whether an accreditation, an IB authorisation or an Advanced Placement programme shown on a website belongs to THIS CAMPUS or to the group. Multi-campus groups display group marks in a site-wide footer that appears identically on every campus page, and at least one Chonburi campus is affected.
- Ask what year group the campus actually tops out at THIS academic year — not what the prospectus plans, and not what the fee table implies.
- Ask whether the school holds a current Thai Ministry of Education licence, and for a school that is new or expanding, whether the licence covers the years your child would be in.
- Ask for the current fee schedule in writing. BAANLYY does not publish per-school tuition figures — they are revised annually, every school publishes its own, and the figures circulating in directories are frequently drawn from historic documents.
BAANLYY does not rank, endorse or accept payment from schools. Facts on this page are compiled from Odyssey International School's own official website, its group's corporate pages and its accrediting bodies, and where a fact is reported inconsistently — including where a school contradicts itself — we publish both readings rather than pick one. Always confirm current admissions, fees and campus details directly with the school. Visit the official Odyssey International School website →
