Primary & Early-Years Schools near Pattaya.
Four options.

Not every family needs a full 2-18 campus on day one. Four specialist records in the ledger stop before secondary: International School of Chonburi and Lovell International in the Pattaya area, Belfry International in Ban Khai, Rayong, and Kids Avenue International Kindergarten in Si Racha. ISC, Lovell and Belfry run through Year 6 or age 11 and require a Year 7 transfer; Kids Avenue serves ages 2-6 and requires a primary-school move.

Quick answers
for this topic.

Which specialist primary or early-years schools are in the guide?

ISC and Lovell serve ages 2-11 in the Pattaya area; Belfry in Ban Khai, Rayong serves Nursery through Year 6; and Kids Avenue in Si Racha is a Thai-English kindergarten for ages 2-6. The first three require a secondary transfer, while Kids Avenue requires a primary-school move.

Does BEST still require a transfer at Year 7?

Not according to its current official scope: BEST now publishes fees through Secondary 6. BPIS remains a separate British IGCSE/A-Level option, but the old claim that every BEST pupil must transfer after primary is no longer accurate.

Where do ISC graduates go for secondary?

ISC serves ages 2–11 and does not publish a prescribed secondary destination. Families must apply separately for Year 7 and compare admissions assessment, curriculum continuity, support and commute before choosing the next school.
