In brief
New British school on the former VERSO International School site near Suvarnabhumi Airport, due to open in August 2026 as the first Wycombe Abbey school in Thailand. Operated under licence by BE Education with BTS Group's Rabbit Holdings as the Thai partner.
The 66-acre campus near Bangna-Trad Road carries over the IDEO-designed loop buildings from VERSO, but the school is being relaunched as a British-curriculum institution running Nursery to Year 13 with IGCSE and A-Levels and a full boarding offer alongside day. David Aitchison is announced as founding head. Tuition is positioned at the very top of the Bangkok market, with senior-year fees over 1.2 million baht.
There is no parent voice yet. Families considering this for August 2026 are buying the brand and the operator team, not a settled school. The honest read is that the campus and the boarding model are unusually ambitious for Bangkok, but the first cohorts will be doing the work of bedding in a new academic culture on top of the VERSO inheritance, and outcomes will not be visible for several years.
