On 5 November 2024, the next chapter in Highgate’s prestigious history was announced. Highgate International School Thailand, the first overseas campus of the renowned Highgate School UK, is set to open its doors in August 2026. We are proud to bring Highgate’s 460-year legacy of educational excellence to Thailand through our partnership with Siam Motors Group (SMG) and the Phornprapha family.
Located near the renowned Siam Country Club in Chonburi, our campus will open with Pre-Prep and Junior School programmes, welcoming children aged 2 to 11. In the years ahead, the school will expand to include Senior School and boarding facilities, ultimately accommodating up to 1,400 students.
Highgate’s distinguished history, dating back to its foundation in 1565, is grounded in a tradition of academic excellence, combined with a steadfast commitment to pastoral care and personal development. These principles are central to our mission at Highgate Thailand, ensuring every child thrives, grows in confidence, and achieves their full potential.
Our school will follow the English National Curriculum, offering globally recognised qualifications such as IGCSEs and A Levels. Guided by Highgate’s ethos of ambitious teaching, personalised care, and a vibrant extracurricular programme, we are dedicated to preparing students for an ever-changing world while fostering a lifelong love of learning.
The purpose-built campus, surrounded by lush greenery, has been thoughtfully designed to inspire and support every aspect of student development. Highlights of our world-class facilities include:
An Olympic-sized swimming pool, promoting physical development and sporting excellence
A FIFA-standard football pitch, fostering teamwork and resilience
A Golf Academy, encouraging focus and discipline
A Library and Media Centre, nurturing creativity and exploration
Specialist spaces for STEM, Music, and the Arts, featuring a state-of-the-art auditorium
As we prepare to open in August 2026, we are excited to bring Highgate’s legacy of excellence to families in Thailand and the wider region. This transformative project reflects the shared vision of Highgate School UK, Siam Motors Group (SMG), and the Phornprapha family to create a world-class educational experience.
We look forward to welcoming our first students and creating a school community where children thrive academically, socially, and personally.
Stay connected with us as we embark on this exciting journey together.
