School Bus Safety
Your child’s safety is our highest priority. Each school bus is staffed with a dedicated monitor who not only oversees the journey but also personally escorts our youngest students in Foundation Stage and Key Stage 1 (Years 1 and 2) directly to their school buildings upon arrival.
To further safeguard students, all buses are equipped with essential safety features, including:
- CCTV cameras
- GPS tracking
- First-aid kits
- Fire extinguishers
In addition, our paid school bus service is enhanced by advanced Bus Depot technology, which provides parents with peace of mind. Through this system, parents have secure access to real-time updates, such as records of their child’s RFID taps when boarding and exiting the bus. For added convenience, the service also offers optional SMS notifications, ensuring parents are immediately informed if the bus is delayed.
Please review Parent’s Guide to School Transport for more information.
Fees
You can find the School Bus fees here. For more details about our School Bus service, please refer to the Parent Guide to School Transport.

Public Transport (BTS Sky Train) and Free Shuttle
BTS Sky Train
The BTS Skytrain is a popular mode of public transport for many students and families.Our High School is located 250m (a 3-minute walk) from Ekkamai BTS Station (Exit No. 4) on the Sukhumvit Line, making it very easy for students and families to get to and from St Andrews by BTS.
Primary School is located about 2km (a 1-minute drive) from Ekkamai BTS Station.
Free Shuttle
We offer a free shuttle service between Primary School, High School, Gateway Ekkamai, and MaxValu 71, which runs in the morning and afternoon along three main routes. This service has been carefully planned for our students, families and staff, keeping school timings in mind. To see the free shuttle schedule, please click here.
The free shuttle service helps reduce parking congestion at both campuses and also offers families with students at the Primary School another convenient transportation option when travelling by BTS.
Please note: FS and Key Stage 1 Primary students must have a parent/guardian on the free shuttle. Older Primary students (Years 3-6) can use the free shuttle unaccompanied if parents complete a Consent for shuttle bus form via Moodle. High School students can use the shuttle independently.
Free Shuttle Routes & Stops
Route 1 | Primary School (Gate 5 - Blue Area Pridi 20) and High School (Gate 3 - Shuttle Bus Stop)
Duration: 10-15 minutes
Please note: Every day between 8:30 am and 1:00 pm, the free shuttle will be parked in front of Gate 3 instead of Gate 5 at Primary School.
Route 2 | Gateway Ekamai next to BTS Ekkamai (Take Exit 4 to Gateway Ekamai and wait at the roundabout in front of Watsons) and Primary School (Gate 5 - Blue Area Pridi 20)
Duration: 15-20 minutes
Route 3 | MaxValu 71 (Back car park) and Primary School (Gate 5 - Blue Area Pridi 20)

Students can travel to and from St Andrews via private vehicle. To ensure smooth traffic flow and student safety, we have designated drop-off and pick-up times and zones at both Primary School and High School.
Please be aware that there is limited parking at both campuses, especially during peak hours. Some families choose to park at Gateway Ekkamai Mall and walk to the High School, or use the Free Shuttle to the Primary School.
For Primary School, there is also extra parking available at MaxValu 71. Remember that the Free Shuttle runs between Primary School and MaxValu 71.
