Excitement is reaching new heights as we proudly unveil our second international school in the vibrant heart of Bangkok, Vibhavadi! Catering to inquisitive minds aged 2 to 18, this new institution builds on the extraordinary success of Brighton College Bangkok. For the past decade, the school has been the epicenter of excellence in education in Thailand. Such has been the demand for places at this acclaimed educational establishment that we are thrilled to announce the opening of our second campus set to welcome students in August 2025!
In an era where education is more crucial than ever, this school promises an unmatched learning experience. Picture this: a world-class education delivered in brand-new, iconic, purpose-built facilities. Every corner of this new school is designed to ignite a lifelong passion for learning in every child who steps through its doors. Curiosity, confidence, and kindness form our educational triad, ensuring that students are not only well-prepared academically but also enriched in spirit.
Brighton College Bangkok has carved a remarkable legacy over the past ten years. Its students consistently achieve stellar examination results, placing them at the forefront of academic excellence in Asia. Many graduates find themselves welcomed by prestigious universities like Cambridge University, Imperial College London, and Emory University. Just a fortnight ago, the school shone brightly when it was named ‘British International School of the Year’ at the esteemed Independent Schools of the Year Awards 2024.
Meanwhile, Brighton College in the UK continues to garner accolades, having been named ‘School of the Decade’ by The Sunday Times. Achieving the highest examination results of any independent school in the UK just this year, it’s no wonder Brighton College is also touted as ‘Top School in Britain for STEM’ as well as hosting the ‘Best Sixth Form in Britain.’
Khun Nusara (Assakul) Banyatpiyaphod, the Chair of the Brighton College Bangkok Board of Governors, expressed her heartfelt enthusiasm: “Merging the strengths of two formidable educational organizations is incredibly exciting for our youngsters. All the core values we cherish — the warmth of kindness, nurturing natural curiosity, and fostering confident individuals — will be magnified as part of the Brighton College Family of Schools. I am absolutely thrilled to introduce Brighton College Bangkok, Vibhavadi. This school not only perpetuates our legacy of academic excellence but also cultivates a genuine love of learning while offering students unrivaled opportunities to excel and grow into their best selves.”
The core ethos of Brighton College revolves around nurturing curiosity, confidence, and kindness. Our new establishment at Vibhavadi is dedicated to empowering students, ensuring they are prepared for success on a global stage.
Richard Cairns, Principal of the Brighton College Group, added his supportive voice: “With the addition of our new school in Bangkok, I have no doubt that Brighton College Bangkok Vibhavadi will quickly become a standout in the educational landscape, what Tatler describes as one of the ‘hottest tickets in education.’ This school is all about inspiring children to become the best versions of themselves — individuals who are kind, respectful, driven by academic ambition, and equipped with self-confidence, poised to contribute positively to the world of tomorrow.”
Join us as we embark on this thrilling journey, expanding our reach to offer an unparalleled educational experience to more young minds throughout Bangkok!

This is amazing news for the residents of Bangkok! Having another Brighton College campus will surely elevate educational standards in the area.
I’m not so sure. Expanding elite institutions often lead to more segregation in education rather than raising standards overall.
That’s a valid point, but it could also push other schools to improve to stay competitive.
AnnaC, do you really believe access will be equitable? These schools never prioritize accessibility for everyone.
Access can indeed be an issue, but scholarships and financial aid programs can make a difference if properly implemented.
It’s fascinating how Brighton College continues to thrive. Their focus on kindness is something more schools should emulate.
Absolutely, but I wonder if it’s just a marketing spiel. How do they really implement these values into their curriculum?
They likely integrate these values through various programs and school culture, but actions definitely speak louder than words.
I’m considering sending my child here, but I’m concerned about the costs. Private education isn’t cheap!
Private schools like Brighton are a hefty investment, but many argue it’s worth it for the educational outcomes.
Don’t forget to factor in the potential for scholarships or financial assistance. It’s always worth checking!
futureparent22, you might be better off looking at other highly regarded public schools if cost is a concern.
So another hub for spreading Western education values in Asia? Aren’t there enough of those already?
MaverickMinds, diversity in the educational landscape can be beneficial, but there’s always a risk of eroding local cultures.
I wonder how they’ll incorporate modern tech in their curriculum. That’s where the future of education lies.
Will they really be offering anything new or just repackaging their current curriculum in a new building?
New schools should focus on mental health resources. Success isn’t just about academics.
Exactly! Mental health is just as important, and schools often overlook this aspect.
I hope this expansion doesn’t lead to increased traffic and congestion around Vibhavadi.
I saw the announcement and I feel this just panders to the wealthy.
This will definitely enhance educational opportunities for children in the area. I’m excited for the future students!
More international schools mean less focus on improving the public school system. When will we balance this?
I just hope they incorporate Thai cultural values and not just follow a British curriculum.
I’ve heard great things about Brighton’s primary education methods. This could be great for young learners.
Are they bringing in teachers from the UK or hiring locally? That makes a big difference in education quality.
In my opinion, these expansions highlight a neglect of traditional Thai educational values.
It’ll be interesting to see the types of extracurriculars they offer. Sports and arts are important for rounded development.
