About the school

Beaconhouse Yamsaard School (BYS) Hua Hin is part of the Beaconhouse School System, a private education group with 40 years of history and more than 1,000 schools across Pakistan, Oman, the UAE, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand. In Thailand the Beaconhouse Yamsaard brand also runs campuses at Ladprao (Kindergarten to Primary) and Rangsit (Kindergarten to Secondary), while a related but distinct brand, BYIS Pattanakarn, offers a separate international programme in Bangkok — worth knowing if you come across "BYIS" while researching, since it isn't the same campus as BYS Hua Hin. The Hua Hin campus itself caters from Kindergarten through Secondary levels and teaches a bilingual Thai-English curriculum through three programme tiers: the Communicative English Programme (CEP), the Advanced English Programme (AEP) and the Global Immersion Programme (GIP) — a genuinely different, more Thai-integrated model than Hua Hin's fully international schools.

Location & getting there

The campus sits at 35/5 Soi West Monorail Village, Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan 77110, inland from the town centre. As with the rest of Hua Hin, there is no rail or metro system, so families should confirm the school-bus catchment area and pick-up times directly with the school before choosing a home nearby.

Fees — what we could and could not verify

BAANLYY looked for a reliable, current fee schedule for the Hua Hin campus specifically. Third-party listing sites publish figures for this campus that run close to Hua Hin International School's own published IB Diploma-year fees — inconsistent with BYS's self-described bilingual, non-IB programme structure — so we are not repeating an unverified number here rather than risk passing along a mismatched figure. Contact the school directly at 032-652 526 (or 08-7694-6420-1) for its current tuition and fee schedule before budgeting.

Beaconhouse Yamsaard Hua Hin questions

What curriculum does Beaconhouse Yamsaard School Hua Hin follow?

The campus's own Programmes page is specific, and the detail matters for a relocating family. Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten 1–3 are built on the Early Years Foundation Stage, taught through play-based learning. From Primary 1 onward the curriculum is Thailand's 2008 Basic Education Core Curriculum (Revised Edition B.E. 2560), taught through project-based learning and preparing students for the Thai national O-NET examination; Secondary 1–3 continues on the same core curriculum with a STEAM emphasis. So BYS is a bilingual Thai-curriculum school with intensive English, not a British-curriculum school — it is not an IB or Cambridge IGCSE school in the HHIS mould, and it does not lead to IGCSEs, A-levels or the IB. That is the right choice for many families, particularly those staying long-term in Thailand; it is the wrong one if you need schooling that transfers cleanly to a British or American system in two years.

How far up does Beaconhouse Yamsaard School Hua Hin go?

On its own published material, to Secondary 3 — roughly age 15. The campus's Programmes page lists Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten 1–3, Primary 1–6 and Secondary 1–3, and the single section headed 'Secondary 4' describes, in its own words, a dual programme that 'Beaconhouse Yamsaard School Rangsit introduces' — a different campus, roughly 250 km away outside Bangkok. The Beaconhouse group's own branch directory lists this campus's programmes as 'Early Years Programme'. One schools database records the campus as ages 3 to 18 but leaves the leaving-qualification field blank and flags the listing as not verified by the school; another records Kindergarten 1–3, Primary 1–6 and Secondary 1–3. We are not asserting that there is no upper school — only the campus can settle that, and schools add year groups faster than they update websites. We are saying nothing the school itself publishes shows a year group above Secondary 3 here, so if you are planning to keep a child at BYS to eighteen, ask the campus in writing for its highest year group this academic year and the qualification it leads to before you commit.

Is Beaconhouse Yamsaard School Hua Hin part of a bigger network?

Yes. Beaconhouse School System is one of the largest private education networks in the world, with 1,000+ schools across Pakistan, Oman, the UAE, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand, and 40 years of operating history. In Thailand the group also runs Beaconhouse Yamsaard campuses at Ladprao and Rangsit, plus a separate international-track campus, BYIS Pattanakarn, in Bangkok — a different brand from BYS Hua Hin, so don't confuse the two if you're comparing options in Bangkok.

How much does Beaconhouse Yamsaard School Hua Hin cost?

BAANLYY could not verify a reliable, current fee schedule specific to the Hua Hin campus — third-party listing sites show figures that don't consistently match the school's own bilingual (non-IB) programme description, so we're not repeating an unverified number here. Contact the school directly at 032-652 526 for its current tuition and fee schedule before budgeting.

Where is Beaconhouse Yamsaard School Hua Hin located?

The campus is at 35/5 Soi West Monorail Village, Hua Hin, Prachuap Khiri Khan 77110 — inland from the town centre. Confirm the school-bus catchment area and pick-up times with the school directly if you're choosing a home nearby, since Hua Hin has no rail or metro system for the daily commute.
