Overview

Raffles American School Bangkok, established in 2012 on Bangna-Trad Road in Bangkaew, Samut Prakan, sits roughly 100 metres from the Bangkok city border -- close enough that many families treat it as a Bangkok-adjacent option rather than a province-specific one. It runs an American curriculum toward a U.S. high school diploma, with Advanced Placement courses available in the upper grades, taught in English throughout with native English-speaking teachers. The school operates across two purpose-built campuses on the same site -- a Preschool and Elementary campus (Nursery to Grade 4) and a separate Middle and High School campus (Grade 5 to 12) -- serving students aged 2 to 18. It holds accreditation from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), the standard U.S. accreditor most American-curriculum schools in Thailand rely on. BAANLYY is not affiliated with Raffles American School Bangkok and takes no paid placement in this guide.
