Bangkok is home to a large and diverse collection of International Schools. This group of schools boasts many top global brands and offers high quality educational opportunities second to none. In 2020, another top name will open its doors in Bangkok to welcome students from Nursery to Year 13. Introducing: King’s College International School Bangkok (King’s Bangkok).

King’s Bangkok aims to be one of the best schools in Asia and will be located in the prestigious and convenient Ratchada-Rama 3 area. Their state-of-the-art facilities will include a sports complex, which will boast an indoor Olympic-size swimming pool, a 600-seat auditorium and specialist Science, Music and Art classrooms as well as an Early Years Centre with outstanding outdoor and indoor learning areas.

The school works closely with King’s College School, Wimbledon, and have a Founding Headmaster who has worked at both the Wimbledon and Hangzhou campuses. This has helped them to adapt a world-leading academic curriculum, co-curricular and pastoral systems to the vibrant city of Bangkok. King’s Bangkok places student well-being, well-rounded character development and strong values at the centre of their educational experience.

Values

Believing in ‘A great heart takes you further’, King’s Bangkok is committed to the values of good manners, kindness and wisdom. The King’s approach at all levels encourages students to look beyond the academic curriculum, which the vibrant success of its drama, music and games departments all indicate. They want girls and boys from King’s to be recognized ‘not only for their many talents’ but above all for their courtesy and humanity.

What Set’s King’s Apart?

King’s Bangkok works closely with King’s Wimbledon (a Top Ranked Boys’ and Co-ed School in the UK by the Sunday Times in 2017 & 2018) as they seek to build on their success of almost 200 years of excellence in education. King’s Bangkok develops well-rounded, confident and happy boys and girls who will make a positive difference to their communities. We do this through placing equal weight on:

• A strong academic curriculum developed with the King’s Wimbledon team. The King’s curriculum has a proven track record of producing academic excellence as well as creative alumni who go on to have success in a wide range of fields: from famous musicians and actors to high court judges, software developers, writers, surgeons and academics.
• A pastoral system which gives children the support and guidance to become calm, happy adults. The tutor and house systems work to give children a sense of community and purpose so that they enjoy coming to school and have a network of people to go to in times of need.
• An extensive co-curricular program which offers a wide range of clubs, societies and activities to provide children with a varied and exciting school week. These involve lunchtime activities, compulsory activities within their timetable and optional activities after school for children in reception and upwards.
