A new Bangkok outpost of UK independent school Brighton College, opened 2025 on a purpose-built Krungthep Kreetha campus with capacity for 1,500. National Curriculum for England from Nursery to Year 13, with one of Bangkok's widest A Level subject choices.
In brief
Brighton College Bangkok delivers the National Curriculum for England from Nursery through Year 13, culminating in IGCSEs and A Levels. The school serves under 400 students on a purpose-built campus in Krungthep Kreetha, with capacity for up to 1,500. Academic selectivity is high, with specialist subject teaching beginning in Year 4. The inaugural IGCSE cohort in 2019 achieved 100% A-B grades, with 83% scoring A-A.
The school positions itself among Bangkok's premium British institutions, offering one of the widest A Level programmes with 21-22 subjects available. Facilities include modern classrooms, a 650-seat theatre, and music practice rooms supporting the performing arts programme. University placement support helps Sixth Form students secure places at top global universities, though specific destination data remains limited given the school's recent establishment.

Reviews
- A large all-through campus on Krungthep Kreetha Road that opened in 2016, run as a sister school to Brighton College in England rather than a franchise.
- Parent voice on directories and forums is overwhelmingly positive on culture: warm community, kind staff, daily wellbeing sessions, and a pastoral house system.
- Reported A Level results land 2023 at 80 percent A-A, putting outcomes within the band of top UK co-educational day schools, and the first IGCSE cohort hit 100 percent A-B.
- Staffing is heavy on UK independent-school recruits, with around twenty percent moving directly from Brighton College UK and three-quarters from leading UK schools.
- One published teacher review on a directory cited high turnover, communications gaps and recruiting strain in 2021. A 2024 teacher review describes a culture of kindness and a forward-thinking environment.
Positives
- Pastoral culture. Parents and a recent teacher review describe a kind, wellbeing-led environment.
- Academic outcomes. A Level and IGCSE grade profiles match top UK independent benchmarks.
- Staffing pipeline. Heavy UK independent-school recruitment, including from the UK Brighton College.
Considerations
- Earlier staff concerns. A 2021 teacher review flagged turnover, internal communication, and budget pressure.
- Fees. Positioned at the top of the Bangkok market, around THB 572,000 to 994,000 a year.
