International School Year in Bangkok

For those people with children in international schools in Bangkok, it is important to know the school schedule for the year. Because these are international schools and not public schools, the schedule will be different than what you would find in public schools. For example, the months school is in session will be different for international schools, and the holiday breaks will also be different for international schools. Knowing the schedules international schools use will help you plan appropriately for when your kids will be at home instead of in school.

People with children in international schools in Thailand will find that international schools tend start their year late in the summer – Usually near the end of August – And end the year either in late May or early June. If required, summer school tends to last from the end of the normal school year until around mid-July. In total, the normal school year for an international school lasts for about 10 months, which is about the same style of schedule you would find for a school in the United States.

Holidays are important to note for people with children in international schools in Bangkok, because with both international holidays and Thailand national holidays recognized, there tend to be a number of holiday breaks. For example, Christmas break tends to be very long for international schools, despite the fact that Christmas is not a national holiday in Thailand. It is not unusual for international schools to have as much as two weeks off for the Christmas break, as school also tends to remain closed for New Year’s. Also, important national Thai holidays such as H.M. King’s birthday and Coronation Day leave the school closed. In total, there can be around 30 days where international schools are closed over the course of the school year due to holidays.
