Brighton College Bangkok named British International School of the Year

Brighton College Bangkok has won one of the most prestigious global awards in international education, being named British International School of the Year at the Independent Schools of the Year Awards 2024. This award recognises excellence in academic results, teaching and learning; significant contributions to sustainability, community engagement and global citizenship; strong leadership, governance, and strategic vision for continued growth and success; and exceptional co-curricular opportunities that enrich the pupil experience.

From its foundation in 2016, Brighton College Bangkok has strived to create a dynamic, inclusive, and forward-thinking environment where every pupil can flourish. The school’s journey has been marked by numerous impressive milestones and it continues to set the standard for educational excellence in the region.

Last year’s A Level grades (87% A*-A) were recognised as being the best of all British international schools anywhere in the world.

Outstanding accreditation

The school is recognised as having very well qualified and highly proficient teachers, with a strong commitment to staff professional development a key factor in this success. Accreditation by inspection teams from the Educational Development Trust (EDT) and British Schools Overseas (BSO) last year saw Brighton College Bangkok receive the highest grades possible - ‘Gold’ and ‘Outstanding’.

With experienced teachers and state-of-the-art facilities, it lays strong foundations for future academic success and personal growth.

Brighton College Bangkok also provides a comprehensive life skills program at all levels, to build resilience, develop teamwork and leadership skills.

Social responsibility

With a culture of kindness right at the core of the school's ethos, the level of community engagement grows year-on-year. In recent months members of the school have supported organisations that provide aid to some of the most vulnerable members of our community and raised money in support of causes that seek solutions to the world’s biggest challenges.These efforts have fostered a strong sense of social responsibility in the pupils, who have been enthusiastic participants throughout.

Sustainability 

Sustainability has been at the forefront of the school’s agenda, with a variety of initiatives in place, including recycling programs, a reduction in single-use plastics, and the installation of solar panels to reduce the school’s carbon footprint and demonstrating the importance of giving back to the community and caring for the planet.

The British International School of the Year award is testament to the hard work and dedication of Brighton College Bangkok’s entire school – pupils, staff, parents and governors – and further inspires the school to continue its mission of providing an exceptional education for every pupil and an outstanding learning community for all.
