University Counseling - International School Bangkok, Premier International School in Thailand since 1951

Welcome to university counseling

With decades of experience, the University Counseling team at ISB is expertly positioned to guide students to the courses and higher education schools of their dreams. Between us, we have visited over 500 universities in 25 countries and many of us have direct experience 'on the other side' as university admissions professionals.

Programs we offer

University Family Nights

Seminars

Seminars: During the school day, students meet in groups with their university counselor to prepare their post-secondary plans.

Junior Seminar: Students meet 8 times over two semesters to begin self-reflection, learn about their options globally, identify priorities and preferences, and conduct initial university research. Students will also begin writing rough drafts of their university application essays, and request letters of recommendation.
Senior Seminar: Students meet 8 times over two semesters to execute their plan of action from grade 11, focusing on completing their university applications with counselor support.

University Parent Coffees

Parents are invited to monthly coffees with university counselors that focus on a variety of topics ranging from country specific opportunities (e.g. Australia, or the US), to financing higher education and supporting parents through the student transition to university. Parents from the Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Thai communities are invited to community meetings in semester 2.

University Visits and Fairs

ISB hosts more than 300 university admission representatives on our campus each year, and holds two fairs annually: the Greater Bangkok World Fair and the Thai Universities Fair. Many universities visit ISB during the school day to meet with students. University counselors also share information about university events happening in downtown Bangkok and virtually throughout the year.
