Located on a vibrant 35-acre garden campus in North Bangkok, Harrow International School Bangkok (Harrow Bangkok) offers the full UK curriculum from Early Years to A Levels, including the International General Certificate of Secondary Education. The setting is both expansive and welcoming, with tranquil outdoor spaces for older students and imaginative play areas for younger learners. The school’s lake adds a distinctive dimension to campus life, enabling sailing, kayaking, dragon boat racing, adventure races, and raft challenges. Boarding begins in kindergarten and grows into a close-knit residential community as students progress through the school.
The campus is thoughtfully organized into residential, recreational, and academic zones. The Early Years Centre features spacious classrooms and creative play spaces, while the recently expanded Pre Prep Building includes a dedicated science and technology lab, a music center with practice rooms, and a bright art room overlooking the grounds. The Years 6–8 Prep Zone provides a bridge to the new Rayleigh Sixth Form Centre, which includes specialized spaces for careers and university guidance. The Dench Theatre, The Gould Hall, and additional performance venues throughout the school reflect Harrow Bangkok’s strong commitment to public speaking, performance, and creative expression.
The recently completed Creative and Performing Arts Centre stands as one of the school’s signature facilities. It provides design and technology workshops, a graphic design center, photography studios, drama classrooms, the Black Box theatre, a high-quality recital hall, orchestral room, acoustically treated music practice rooms, and a multi-purpose hall. As part of ongoing campus improvements, the Upper School Library has also been fully modernized to enhance research, collaboration, and independent study.
Athletes benefit from an impressive range of sporting facilities: The Den athletics center, a fully air-conditioned sports hall, a 500-square-meter gymnastics center, floodlit rugby and football pitches with natural grass surfaces, a 25-meter swimming pool, a well-equipped fitness suite, a climbing and bouldering wall, and six newly floodlit tennis courts. Parents, staff, and older students also enjoy the welcoming Kopse Café, with parents having access to a dedicated lounge above it.
Within the boarding village, four houses accommodate students, supported by a recreation center known as The Hub, which offers dining, medical care, and laundry services. Staff accommodation and the headmaster’s residence complete this residential community.
Accredited by the Council of International Schools and British Schools Overseas, Harrow Bangkok educates 1,844 students from pre-K to Year 13, about 70% of whom are proudly rooted in Thailand. The teaching staff, predominantly international, is strengthened by the expertise and perspective of the Thai educators among them.
The school places strong emphasis on the importance of a well-rounded, socially engaged education. Day students from Year 1 and up participate in at least two extracurricular activity sessions per week, while boarding students join four. Across each season, students choose from more than 100 activities, with options in academics, sports, arts, service, and leadership. Offerings include Lego, Orchestra, Choir, Model United Nations, Swimming, Duke of Edinburgh, Archery, Chess, Horse Riding, Dance, and many others.
The arts flourish on campus. After-school programs include drawing, painting, ceramics, textiles, photography, and advanced design technology, with support for IGCSE and A Level artists. Visiting artists and artisans regularly share insights into careers in creative industries. Drama enrichment encompasses whole-school productions, prop and costume making, analysis of filmed performances, juggling, makeup, and stand-up comedy.
Music is a particular strength, with more than 40 activities across the school. Students participate in orchestras, choirs, chamber groups, rock and pop bands, jazz ensembles, steel pan bands, Thai fusion groups, and music technology sessions for aspiring composers and studio engineers. Individual lessons are available for all major instruments and voice, taught by visiting professional musicians. Many students prepare for ABRSM examinations, supported by a full inventory of instruments, from orchestral to electric and bass guitars.
