Key facts
| Address | 282 Thanon Mittraphap, Tambon Nai Mueang, Mueang Khon Kaen District, Khon Kaen 40000 |
| Ages taught | 2 to 12, in the school's own words -- Pre-Nursery and Nursery (2–4), Kindergarten 1 and 2 (5–6), Primary 1–6 (6–12). Its Academics menu lists Early Years, Primary School and a Senior School (Sixth Form) page, and no secondary school; the Senior School page returns no readable content to a plain fetch |
| Leaving qualification | None. The furthest assessment point the school's own age criteria reach is the Grade 6 iPSLE / Cambridge Primary checkpoint, which is a progress measure rather than an exit award — normal for a primary school, and misleading only if the school is read as a through-school |
| Accreditation | None named. No WASC, CIS, ONESQA, ISAT or other accrediting body appears anywhere on the school's own pages. Cambridge and the Singapore MOE are named as examination destinations, which is a different claim |
| Religious character | None stated — one of Khon Kaen's secular options |
| Curriculum | Singapore-curriculum foundation moving toward Cambridge assessment points, taught trilingually in Thai, English and Mandarin Chinese |
| Programmes | Gifted Education Programme, a Co-Curricular Activities requirement every term, and a Universities Preparation Programme for older students |
| Fees | Published by the school on its own Tuition Fees and Other Payments page. BAANLYY publishes no per-school figures — they are reset annually and a stale number is worse than none. Note that the doris directory's annual band for ASIS, THB 7,600–14,000, is not an annual international-school fee by any reading and should not be used for budgeting |
| Contact | The school's own site publishes three different phone numbers — (+66) 043-399399 displayed in the footer, 096-335-3291 behind the footer link and on the FAQ contact block, and +66 92 299 7929 on its "Call us now" button. Email appears as both cs@asis.ac.th (School Brief, FAQ contact block) and cs@asiskk.com (footer text). Use whichever answers |

Overview
Asia Singapore International School (ASIS) sits at 282 Thanon Mittraphap in Nai Mueang sub-district, Mueang Khon Kaen District — the only one of Khon Kaen's four English-medium campuses actually in the city centre, and one of its secular options. It is built on a Singapore-curriculum foundation known for strong maths and science, with Cambridge assessment points, and teaches Thai, English and Mandarin Chinese as a trilingual programme. It runs a Gifted Education Programme, a compulsory Co-Curricular Activities requirement every term, and a Universities Preparation Programme. The school welcomes students transferring in from government, private EP, bilingual and international schools across the North Eastern Region. BAANLYY is not affiliated with ASIS and takes no paid placement in this guide.
Where this school stops
At Primary 6, age twelve — stated by ASIS itself. Its FAQ page asks “What age groups does ASIS cater to?” and answers: “We cater to children aged 2 to 12 years old”, itemised as Pre-Nursery and Nursery (2–4), Kindergarten 1 and 2 (5–6) and Primary 1–6 (6–12). Its Academics menu contains Early Years, Primary School and a Senior School (Sixth Form) page — and no secondary school.
The school's Executive Summary does set out a longer ladder: the Singapore iPSLE and the Cambridge Primary examination at Grade 6, Cambridge IGCSE at Grade 10, and Cambridge A Level at Grade 12. Every verb in that passage is in the future tense — “students will be prepared”, “we will provide”, “our gifted education programme will be robust”. That is the language of a young school describing where it intends to grow, not a description of year groups now running, and it should not be read as one. Where a prospectus and an admissions criterion disagree, we follow the admissions criterion and say why.
What that means practically: inside Khon Kaen the only onward English-medium route is Khon Kaen Vithes Suksa Bilingual School, which is a Thai bilingual school — a change of system, not a step up within one. The nearest schools that teach their post-16 years on their own campus are about 120 km north in Udon Thani: Udon Thani International School (full IB continuum, Diploma authorised March 2024, secular) and International Community School Udon Thani (American, to a US high-school diploma). Bangkok is 450 km. Plan this before enrolling a nine-year-old, not after.
Who it's for
Families with children under twelve who want a structured Singapore-style foundation in maths and science, genuine Mandarin exposure, and a campus on the same corridor as most of Khon Kaen's modern rental stock. It is a strong primary school in a convenient place, and it is the only school in the city where a central apartment and a short school run are compatible. It is not, today, a school that will finish your child — so if you are arriving with a ten-year-old, read the section above before you sign anything. Families wanting an American-curriculum primary with a Christian foundation consider Khon Kaen International School (KKIS); families who need a route past twelve have one option in the city, Khon Kaen Vithes Suksa Bilingual School (KKVS).
Location & getting there
ASIS sits at 282 Thanon Mittraphap in Nai Mueang sub-district, central Mueang Khon Kaen District — on one of the city's main arterial roads. Khon Kaen has no rail transit of any kind: no BTS, no MRT, no commuter line, and the State Railway station serves intercity services only. Every school run in this city is a road journey, which is exactly why ASIS's central siting matters — the other three campuses are in Ban Ped to the west, Mueang Kao and Ban Wa to the south-east. The school publishes no bus route map; confirm any transport provision directly. Nearby area guides: Central Plaza and Bueng Kaen Nakhon.
FAQ
What curriculum does Asia Singapore International School (ASIS) follow?
A Singapore-curriculum foundation known for strong maths and science, with Cambridge assessment points, taught trilingually in Thai, English and Mandarin Chinese.
What ages does ASIS teach?
Two to twelve. ASIS's own FAQ page, asked "What age groups does ASIS cater to?", answers: "We cater to children aged 2 to 12 years old" — itemised as Pre-Nursery and Nursery (ages 2–4), Kindergarten 1 and 2 (ages 5–6) and Primary 1–6 (ages 6–12). Its Academics menu offers Early Years, Primary School and a Senior School (Sixth Form) page, and no secondary school.
Does ASIS have a secondary school or sixth form?
Not on its published admissions criteria. The school's Executive Summary does describe a longer ladder — the Singapore iPSLE and Cambridge Primary at Grade 6, Cambridge IGCSE at Grade 10 and Cambridge A Level at Grade 12 — but every verb in that passage is in the future tense ("students will be prepared", "we will provide"), which is a statement of intent rather than a description of year groups now running. Ask admissions, in writing, which year groups run this academic year and which will run in each of the next three.
Where do ASIS families go after Primary 6?
Inside Khon Kaen the only onward English-medium route is Khon Kaen Vithes Suksa Bilingual School, a Thai bilingual school running Cambridge IGCSEs — a real change of system, not a step up within one. The nearest schools that teach their post-16 years on their own campus are in Udon Thani, about 120 km north on Highway 2. Bangkok is 450 km.
Is ASIS accredited?
It names no accrediting body anywhere on its own site. Cambridge and the Singapore Ministry of Education appear as examination destinations the school intends to prepare pupils for, which is a different claim from an accreditation of the school itself. "None named" is not the same as "not accredited" — but it does mean there is nothing for a parent to check.
Where is ASIS located?
282 Thanon Mittraphap, Tambon Nai Mueang, Mueang Khon Kaen District, Khon Kaen 40000 — on one of the city's main arterial roads, and the only one of Khon Kaen's four campuses actually in the centre.
