HIGHGATE INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL THAILAND
Drawing upon 460 years of educational expertise, Highgate International School Thailand will offer an academically inclined programme of study for a carefully selected founding cohort when it opens in August 2026. With the development of a purpose-built facility well on track, enrolment into the Pre-Prep and Junior Schools has already begun and interest in the securing of Senior School places is growing, with the launch of Key Stage 3 classes scheduled for 2027.
LEARNING BEYOND
BOUNDARIES
Highgate International School Thailand offers a curriculum founded upon the strengths of the Early Years and Foundation Stage Framework and the English National Curriculum, whilst a commitment to challenge, the fostering of independence and adaptation lie at the heart of its approach to teaching and learning.
“We are a school that cares deeply about what is taught and how it is taught, but we also both understand and embrace our responsibility for the holistic development of young people and the harnessing of their intellectual curiosity. We encourage students to engage deeply and to play thoughtfully, collaboratively and with intention. As a result, Highgate graduates are intellectually, emotionally, culturally and practically equipped to lead a fulfilling life and make a positive contribution to the world around them.”
— Ben Keeling, Head of School
Pre-Prep and Junior School programmes are thematically arranged, in order to encourage connected thinking, whilst Senior students work to develop the specificity of their thinking and, in the process, begin a journey towards expertise or mastery.

“Every parent wants to give their child the very best start in life. At Highgate, we believe that this comes
with a commitment to the nurturing of imagination, ambition and compassion, and to the stoking of
purposeful and stimulating partnerships. This is our school and we will shape it together.” — Ben Keeling
As part of an overarching commitment to wellbeing underpinned by a robust set of safeguarding standards, student voice is actively championed and views expressed, whether supportive or more critical, both respected and acted upon.
