// 02 · What makes this school distinctive

British curriculum.
Full Dutch stream.
Forest School ethos.

Cognita's Eastern Seaboard campus is CIS-accredited and runs the British National Curriculum as the default track — but Reception through Secondary also runs a full Dutch-medium parallel stream. It's the reason a real Dutch expat community gravitates to Banchang. Forest School and eco-literacy aren't bolted on as electives; they're embedded across the academic year for every student. 30-rai green campus, around 450 students from 30+ nationalities. First-year families pay around ฿485,800 all-in.

What's already on this page.

Verified core data — name, area, curriculum, accreditation, fee range, age range — cross-referenced against the school's public admissions page and the international-schools-database 2025/26 record. Enough to shortlist confidently. If you want to dig deeper before the full editorial publishes, the school's own site is linked below.

What's coming Vol. II.

Anonymous-visit notes from a parent tour. Year-by-year fee table including registration, building fund, bus, lunch, uniform, exam fees, residential trips. "Best for:" verdict — the kind of family this school fits. "Trade-offs" section — where this school doesn't fit. The honest editorial layer a brochure won't print. Rolling out one school per week through Q3 2026.
