Harrow International School Bangkok

Harrow Bangkok is situated on a 35‑acre suburban campus in Don Mueang, north Bangkok, accessible from major transport arteries and near Don Mueang International Airport. The campus offers a green and spacious setting suitable for both day and boarding students.

The school serves students aged 18 months to 18 years, structured across early years (Little Lions), primary (Pre‑Prep), preparatory, IGCSE (Shell to Fifth Form), and Sixth Form (Years 12–13).

Harrow Bangkok is co‑educational, offering both day and boarding options. Boarding is available for older students (ages 9 - 18)

Harrow Bangkok provides structured English language support for students who need help with language acquisition. However, the school does not publicly disclose information regarding Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision on its website.

Harrow Bangkok is affiliated with Harrow School in London, UK, operating under a license as part of the broader Harrow International Schools network.

The school does not have any religious affiliation; it operates as a secular international institution.

The school day begins in the morning and concludes in the afternoon; for Years 1–13, dismissal is at 15:00, and for Pre‑Nursery to Reception during activity weeks, dismissal may occur at 16:00 or 17:00.

The school provides a door-to-door school bus service covering 32 locations across Bangkok.

Harrow Bangkok delivers a British-style education across all stages, starting with its Little Lions Curriculum for children aged 18 months to 5 years, aligned with England’s Early Years Foundation Stage and organised into learning domains and disciplines. In Pre-Prep (ages 5–10 years), students follow a thematic curriculum grounded in core academic subjects, English, Maths, Science, Arts, PSHCE, Computing, languages, PE, and more, supplemented by leadership and service modules and underpinned by the High Performance Learning (HPL) approach. Moving into Upper School (Years 6–8, Prep), the curriculum transitions to the English national curriculum framework, enriched through Challenge Days and enquiry-style learning with HPL-style thinking and performing skills. In Shell (Year 9), students study a broad range of subjects, including English, Maths, Sciences, Humanities, Design, Music, Drama, Thai, modern languages, and PE, with targeted English support offered to those still developing language skills. Remove and Fifth Form (Years 10–11) are dedicated to the IGCSE programme, offering core and optional subjects across academic, artistic, and technical disciplines, complemented by Futures lessons and a leadership-service curriculum. Finally, in Sixth Form (Years 12–13), students choose 3–4 A-Level subjects from a wide list (e.g., Sciences, Maths, Humanities, Arts), and also complete either an Extended Project Qualification or a Harrow Research Pathway alongside university preparation.

Harrow Bangkok integrates SEL into daily school life through its pastoral system. Every student belongs to a tutor group, with form tutors providing daily support and guidance. Heads of Houses and Phase Leaders oversee broader wellbeing across age groups, ensuring that pupils’ social and emotional needs are monitored and addressed. The school highlights resilience, respect, and responsibility as central themes in its character education.

The school does not publicly disclose information regarding Special Educational Needs (SEN) provision on its website.

Harrow Bangkok provides structured English language support for students who need help with language acquisition. For younger learners, support is available from Pre-Nursery to Year 5, offered at no additional cost for up to three years if deemed necessary by the school. In Prep and Year 9, the school runs a Fast Track English programme, which includes extra English lessons alongside a reduced curriculum so that students can focus on developing their English. This support is overseen by the Language Support Department, which carefully integrates students back into the wider curriculum when they are ready.

Mental wellbeing is supported through the tutor system and House structure, where pupils are encouraged to build positive relationships and a sense of belonging. Teachers monitor students’ progress and welfare daily, and the pastoral programme includes assemblies, House events, and leadership opportunities that promote emotional resilience. Boarding students benefit from additional pastoral staff who provide care outside of classroom hours.

Harrow Bangkok has a detailed Safeguarding Policy that outlines how the school protects children’s welfare. Safeguarding Leads are appointed for the Upper School, Lower School, and Boarding, ensuring responsibility is shared across all areas of student life. Staff recruitment follows strict vetting procedures, and all staff undertake mandatory safeguarding training. Policies are reviewed annually and supported by both internal and external audits.
