Deciding to place your child in a school such as a boarding school in Thailand like ASB (American School of Bangkok) is a massive decision and one that has its advantages. It’s a step on the road to independence and personal growth, but it also requires careful planning by both students and parents.

For Parents: Building Confidence in ASB's Boarding Program

First and foremost, trust is critical. The peace and serenity of ASB Green Valley campus, situated in a safe rural area, is only 30 km from Bangkok. The sereneness of this place is great for concentrating and health. Student welfare is at the heart of what we stand for as a school. Their hard-working team of “Dorm Parents” offer 24-hour supervision and care, and serve as mentors and a reassuring presence to the students who are homesick. ASB also integrates mindfulness into its curriculum to support students in navigating stress and developing emotional resilience—an essential quality for life in a boarding school.

For Students: Embracing the Boarding School Experience

• For students, a new chapter is about to begin. Take advantage of the unique programs ASB offers.
