Our Admissions Policy

The Regent's School, Pattaya, endeavours to provide a high quality education to all of our students. Our admission requirements are designed to ensure that we meet this endeavour.

We welcome applications for enrolment at all times during the school year by children from a broad range of cultural and educational backgrounds. We have an inclusive admissions policy, so are happy to consider those with particular learning needs. Our Admissions process is designed to give us the opportunity to ensure that each student is able to access the whole curriculum, and that we can meet their individual needs.

To facilitate this, each student is invited to an assessment day. The format of this assessment varies with the year group that is applied for, and is by appointment only. Students must not arrive at school for an assessment without prior arrangement.

We always try to provide support for students whose first language is not English, and for students with Special Educational Needs. Please provide us with as much information as possible about your child’s requirements to avoid any misunderstandings or disappointment as you progress through our admissions procedure. Please bear in mind that extra fees are payable for this support. By making an application for enrolment, you are agreeing to pay for this support if the school’s assessment procedures indicate that it is necessary.

If you wish to visit the school to have a look around, you can do so by appointment and at a time that is convenient for you. To make an appointment, please contact our Admissions Manager by emailing enquiry@regents.ac.th or calling 0066 (0)38 418 777. You will also be able to get a feel for the exciting nature of the school by exploring this website further.
