Spear’s Review

The sister establishment to the prestigious Brighton College in the UK, Brighton College Bangkok opened in the Thai capital in 2016. Over the last decade, the school has gone from strength to strength, and in 2025 opened a second school for children from nursery through Sixth Form: Brighton College Bangkok Vibhavadi.

Like its English counterpart, Brighton College Bangkok follows the British curriculum, with its teachers qualified in the UK. In addition to academic excellence, the school puts a particular emphasis on its core value of kindness, and is committed to putting pastoral care at the heart of its teaching.

The purpose-built campus has impressive facilities, including a world-class, 650-seat theatre, a 50m swimming pool and an elite fitness centre, and an upgraded Sixth Form centre with social spaces and working areas encourages students to socialise and work at their own pace in preparation for university life.
