The American School of Bangkok Green Valley

What The American School of Bangkok Green Valley does

The American School of Bangkok Green Valley is a private international school in Thailand operating on a single Bangna-Trad corridor campus in Bangplee, Samutprakarn, delivering an American curriculum from Nursery through Grade 12 under the U.S. Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS). Founded in 1997 by Mrs. Lakhana Didyasarin and seated within the broader American School of Bangkok network (parent school founded 1983), it holds dual accreditation from the Thai Ministry of Education and the New England Association of Schools and Colleges (NEASC). The school serves a multicultural student body drawn from over 40 countries and offers high-school students the Advanced Placement (AP) program with AP Capstone Diploma option, an International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma pathway, daily mindfulness practice via a partnership with Mindfulness Academy Asia, supervised boarding in separate boys' and girls' dormitories, and — uniquely in Southeast Asia — the International Preparatory Golf Academy (IPGA), a full-time golf-academic program staffed by PGA-certified coaches using modern golf technology.

The school joined XCL Education in 2022 and now operates under the XCL American School of Bangkok (XCL ASB) network, while the Green Valley campus retains its distinct brand identity. Revenue is generated primarily through recurring tuition and fees across the K-12 program, with supplementary income from optional dormitory residency and the IPGA program; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Student services staff provide university application guidance and scholarship support, contributing to a reported outstanding acceptance rate at international universities. Distribution is direct: families engage through admissions hotlines, campus visits (with Korean and Chinese liaison translators), and a multilingual website available in English, Thai, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, and Arabic.
