Learning Beyond Boundaries

Ben Keeling will join Highgate International School Thailand from Shrewsbury International School Hong Kong, where he has spent eight years leading with distinction. With nearly 20 years of experience in educational leadership, Ben is renowned for raising standards and creating environments where students excel both academically and personally. His contributions have earned him recognition as a leader of exceptional calibre. 

At Shrewsbury, Ben played a pivotal role in developing an award-winning campus and securing prestigious memberships, including with the Council of International Schools (CIS) and the Federation of British International Schools in Asia (FOBISIA). His leadership has been described as ‘outstanding,’ ‘energising,’ and ‘compelling.’ Ben’s extensive experience will guide Highgate International School Thailand to be a place where students will benefit from a rich educational experience that fosters our commitment to ‘Learning Beyond Boundaries,’ preparing them for success in a dynamic, globalised world.

I am enormously excited about the prospect of leading the foundation of Highgate International School Thailand. The strength of our host school and the commitment of our local team to providing transformative learning experiences offer an excellent framework for success. I look forward to meeting our founding families and working in partnership with them to deliver a uniquely ambitious, enriching, and affirming programme of study, as well as a wide-reaching legacy for education in Chonburi province and the surrounding area. “
