Harrow International School Bangkok is a British curriculum school in the north of Bangkok, opened in 1998 as the first Harrow branded international school and drawing on the traditions of Harrow School in London. It teaches the English curriculum across a full age range and finishes with A Level, and is one of the few schools in the city to offer boarding alongside day places. It sits alongside city names such as Bangkok Patana and Shrewsbury Riverside, and this profile sets out how it compares.

Curriculum and academics
Harrow follows the British curriculum from the early years, building toward IGCSE and then A Level in the sixth form rather than the IB Diploma. That single A Level route is the classic British pathway and suits families who want depth in a focused set of subjects. English is the language of instruction, with Thai and additional languages taught through the school, and Harrow places strong emphasis on pastoral care and leadership in the British boarding tradition.
To weigh Harrow against the rest of the field, use the British curriculum schools in Bangkok hub and ask the school for its recent IGCSE and A Level outcomes.

Harrow Bangkok fees
Harrow sits in the premium band for Bangkok, with tuition rising at each stage and highest in the sixth form, and boarding charged on top of day tuition for boarders. The figures are indicative only and should be confirmed with the school, as fees are reviewed annually. Budget beyond tuition for a one off registration fee and optional transport and meals.
For the wider cost picture see the Bangkok British curriculum hub, or estimate your own total with the fee calculator.
Admissions
The academic year runs from August and the main intake follows it, with rolling entry where places exist. Families provide recent school reports and applicants sit an age appropriate assessment, with sixth form entry conditional on IGCSE or equivalent results. Boarding places involve an additional application and interview.
Popular year groups and boarding places are limited, so applying several months ahead is sensible, particularly for the sixth form.
Location and who goes there
Harrow sits on a large, green campus in the north of Bangkok, in the Sai Mai area away from the dense central districts, which gives it more space than most city schools. Families who choose Harrow often live in the north of the city, while boarding makes the school accessible to families based further afield in Thailand and the region. To compare options see Bangkok Patana in Bangna and start from the Bangkok city hub.
