Work With Us

With 450 years of Harrow's legacy as our foundation, we empower our people to make a difference - whether by nurturing future leaders or driving the engine behind our world-class education.

 

I write to warmly invite you to apply to join us here at Harrow International School Bangkok!

I can guarantee the warmest of welcomes and a place in a caring, kind and dynamic community. We have high expectations, and we are a busy place, as we are determined to be considered as one of the best schools in the world.
 
We are all committed to achieving this by fulfilling every aim in our Vision which emphasises our deeply rooted community Values (Courage, Honour, Humility and Fellowship), and authentic and distributed leadership. These aims are combined with the highest aspirations for our Teaching and Learning culture, where we aim to constantly improve our practice by sharing our approaches and incorporating new and exciting ideas to complement the best in traditional and proven methods.

We are very proud of our relationship with Harrow School, London, a school which dates back to 1572. With strong Thai connections through the centuries, Harrow set us up as the first international school and we are now over a quarter of a century old. We cherish the Harrow traditions, and we complement these with a forward-looking, brave and exciting outlook!

Our Community

Hardworking courteous students with a real zest for life and supportive parents make teaching at Harrow Bangkok rewarding and enjoyable. Whether you join us as a single person, couple or family, our staff form a friendly close-knit community. With staff activities ranging from crocheting through ultimate frisbee and photography to diving, you will find your Harrow pack. 

 
Our People

At Harrow International School Bangkok, as at Harrow School London, our Values help us to make decisions from day-to-day that mean we behave and perform better, inspiring us to try harder as individuals, so that collectively we thrive.

Courage encourages us to innovate and take risks, inspiring change for the better. It means challenging adversity and complacency, making the most of opportunities, putting fear of failure to one side and staying the course, even when it is difficult.

Honour is about doing the right thing, having the highest standards and leading by example. It involves taking responsibility and, ultimately, is what makes us worthy of the trust of others.

Humility asks us to recognise that one's self is a work in progress and that struggling with one's weaknesses is essential to growth. Humility increases our awareness that talent and achievement alone, however impressive, are not sufficient to succeed as a human being – and that none of us is at the centre of the universe.

Fellowship means building binding, constructive relationships that help us all to make a positive contribution. This is resonant with our belief that the strongest relationships of all are based on faith, hope and love.
