A Message from the Head Master
I am delighted to be joining Harrow International School and hope that, after looking at this website, you will wish to visit the school.
The school is a remarkable place, reflecting the tremendous progress it has made since its foundation in 1998 in central Bangkok. Now situated on a delightful green and tranquil campus near Don Muang (and with the sky train coming soon), the school reflects the modern face of the Harrow Foundation’s schools. All of the schools have a commitment to an all round education; excellent academic results are a key part of that education but are balanced by a commitment to the creative arts, sport and activities which enable young men and women to become successful and at ease in an increasingly global community.
As parents we all know that one of the best things we can give to our children is an excellent education. At Harrow we strive to create an environment where children can thrive and we focus on ensuring that the key partnership between teachers, parents and children enables each child to fulfil his or her potential.
The school has an outstanding staff, both teaching and support, and students who are aware of the marvellous opportunities the school offers. The Harrow Foundation is world famous for the quality of its schools and for its commitment to education in the broadest sense.
I look forward to meeting you.
Kevin Riley
