Enrolment and Withdrawal

The Enrolment Process begins with the application to the school. When a family submits an application to Panyaden, parents or guardians are required to agree to and sign the School Terms and Conditions. This document is a legal agreement between the school and the parent or guardian, and it should be read carefully before signing. 

Placement of students is decided by the school principals based on a number of factors. These factors include age, previous school records, pre-entrance assessment results and the students’ abilities and needs, including English/Thai language proficiency. Special cases regarding placement will be discussed with parents and considered on an individual basis, however, the final decision remains with the school principals. Panyaden reserves the right to reassign a student at any time if it is felt that the initial placement was inappropriate. Parents will be informed and their perspective will be taken into consideration.

Re-enrolment: The re-enrollment process is designed to provide our current families with the priority to register for the upcoming school year. This process usually takes place in March, where the school will be sending out a re-enrollment confirmation survey to your email through OpenApply and to complete the non-refundable deposit payment of THB 20,000 to secure their child's enrollment for the following academic year. This deposit is non-refundable but will be deducted from the fees that need to be paid for the upcoming academic year in August. 

In case the school does not receive the re-enrolment confirmation and deposit within the deadline, the school may assume that your child will not be returning for the next academic year. If the child’s class reaches maximum size, their place will be offered to the parents of a student on the waiting list. 

If you require any further details regarding re-enrolment or have questions regarding the process, please contact our Admissions Department. 

Temporary Withdrawal Policy: Parents/Guardians of students who wish to temporarily withdraw from Panyaden by the end of academic term/year are required to submit the temporary withdrawal form available at the admissions office. 

Important conditions:

1. If the student fails to resume their study within two consecutive terms from the starting of the temporary withdrawal date mentioned above, the New Student Initial Fees will be applied when the student returns to school.

(Refer to the fee structure for the returning year)

2. Panyaden Admission assessment is required upon the student's return to Panyaden. The school reserves the right to proper placement by the school. Acceptance of returning students will be subject to their academic assessment results, space availability, and any conditions agreed upon with the school's principal.

3. For students in Year 2 and above, during the period of withdrawal from school, the school may require parents to submit formal evidence of the student's studies during their absence (e.g., school report or registered homeschool documentation)

4. Parents/Guardians must settle the all-outstanding balance before completing this form. The school retains the right to withhold any school documents if there is an outstanding balance.

5. During the temporary withdrawal period, the school cannot provide any visa extension-related documents.

6. The refundable deposit will only be returned to the student when the student withdraws; for temporary withdrawal, the deposit will be kept with the school.

*Important Remark* In the case of the family who requests a temporary withdrawal during the academic year, permissions can only be permitted through the agreement with the academic office to ensure students’ attendance reaches 80% as determined by the Ministry of Education (MoE) and as required for the Thai visa extension. Please note that the tuition fee can not be refunded. 

Withdrawal Policy: Parents/Guardians of students who will be leaving Panyaden International School must complete the withdrawal form. Completion of this form is an essential part of the process of withdrawing a student and refunding policy. To receive your deposit, the admissions department must be informed at least 60 days before their last day of school in writing. The form is available at the school admissions office. The 60 day notice gives time for students to return all school resources, and for parents to clear any outstanding charges. Once the form is completed, the accounting department will refund the deposit by cheque within 15 work days after the last day of the child attending school.
