Admissions Procedures

Registration Period

Admission is open to all students of any nationality who fulfill our admissions criteria. Students may be admitted at any time during the school year.

Application Process

1. Admission begins with the completion of an application form which may be obtained by:

     a. Applying at the school in person

     b. Requesting a form be e-mailed, mailed, or faxed

     c. Obtaining the form at the PAIS web site

2. The application form must be completed thoroughly and submitted with a minimum of two years of school report cards or evaluations from previous schools attended. If the report cards or evaluations are in a language other than English, an English language translation must be provided.

3. All applicants will be screened in regards to health, behavior, and academic history prior to approval.

4. Upon application approval, parents must pay a non-refundable application and processing fee of 5,000 baht.

5. An appointment will be arranged for an interview with the prospective student and the completion of written entrance assessments. During this process, special attention is paid to the student’s English language proficiency. All applicants will be treated equally, fairly and without prejudice. The assessment and interview process takes approximately two hours.

     a. PLEASE NOTE: If the student demonstrates difficulty with English, he/she may be admitted with the provision that he/she will seek additional tutoring in English until he/she is up to the required standard. If the student’s language proficiency is very low, he/she may be admitted to PAIS and required to take Intensive English classes for as long as is required for the student to reach an intermediate level of English language proficiency. Upon determination that a student has attained a minimum of intermediate English language proficiency, the student will become eligible to join the mainstream curriculum. PAIS retains the right to deny admission to any student on the basis of English language proficiency.

     b. At the Early Childhood level (Pre-Nursery to Kindergarten) children are screened to determine developmental stages in respect to overall knowledge, language development, motor skills, and social and emotional development. A child’s performance in these areas should be those expected for the age of the child. Special emphasis is placed on language development. At the Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten level, pre-academic concepts and skills in the areas of reading and mathematics are screened as well.

     c. At the Primary, Middle, and High school levels (Grades 1-10) students are assessed in the following areas and are expected to meet the norm in line with the child's age and grade level:
