New Cambridge International School (NCIS), founded in 2011, sits in the Samokhae suburb of Phitsanulok -- a city roughly halfway between Bangkok and Chiang Mai, and the nearest confirmed international school to Sukhothai. It is not located in Sukhothai itself: no international school currently operates in Sukhothai province, and NCIS sits roughly 59-60 km, about 50 minutes by road, to the east. The school runs a British, Cambridge-based curriculum covering Key Stage 3 through IGCSE and AS-level, roughly Year 7 to Year 12, with day and boarding options -- the boarding facility in particular is relevant for a Sukhothai-based family for whom a daily commute isn't realistic. Independent sources also list "Cambridge College (Thailand)" at the same address, most likely an affiliated partner name for the same institution rather than a separate school; confirm directly with NCIS before relying on either name. BAANLYY is not affiliated with New Cambridge International School and takes no paid placement in this guide.
A roughly 50-minute drive each way is not a realistic daily school run for most families. Families set on Sukhothai as a base while needing this level of schooling should weigh NCIS's boarding option, weekly commuting arrangements, or relocating to Phitsanulok itself -- rather than assuming a comfortable daily commute from Sukhothai. Families without this constraint (retirees, remote workers without school-age children, or those planning to homeschool) can set this consideration aside entirely; see the Sukhothai schools guide for the fuller picture.
No. It is in Phitsanulok, roughly 59-60 km (about 50 minutes by road) east of Sukhothai town. It is the nearest confirmed international school to Sukhothai, not a school located within Sukhothai itself -- no international school currently operates in Sukhothai province.
A British, Cambridge-based curriculum: Key Stage 3 for ages 11-14, then IGCSE for ages 14-16, with AS-level available -- covering roughly Year 7 through Year 12 (ages 11-18). There is no confirmed early-years or primary provision, so it does not suit families with younger children.
Yes. NCIS is a day and boarding school with an on-site dormitory and sports facilities, serving both international students and students relocating from other Thai provinces -- relevant for a Sukhothai-based family that decides a daily commute isn't practical.
Independent sources list "Cambridge College (Thailand)" at the same Phitsanulok address as New Cambridge International School, most likely reflecting an affiliated partner name or an alternate listing for the same institution rather than two separate schools -- confirm directly with the school before relying on either name.
No tuition figure is published on the school's official site, and none could be independently verified for this guide -- rather than estimate, contact the school directly through its official site for current fees.
School facts are drawn from the school's own official website plus independent cross-checks. BAANLYY is a data-and-tools platform, not a school, agent or admissions consultant; never takes paid placement in this content, and does not guarantee current tuition, admissions or accreditation status -- always confirm directly with the school before relying on any figure here.
