We are immensely proud of all our graduates and we know they are more than ready for the challenges ahead at university.

Recent global events have highlighted the independent learning skills and resilience learners now need and our students have acquired these over time. All our students are supported over many years through our pastoral and careers programme to be fully prepared for university and beyond. Our careers programme starts in Year 9 and the support we offer continues beyond graduation as we continue to support students who choose a gap year or to transfer courses during their undergraduate studies. Our alumni who are studying and working across the globe are an invaluable network of on-going support and advice for our students.

At Harrow Bangkok, we focus on a well-rounded education with students at the centre of the decision making and we tailor-make our careers advice programme to ensure our students thoroughly research and make informed decisions about university courses where they will be happy and thrive.

Students have individual specialist support and advice throughout the entire application process in the Sixth Form, with specialist teaching staff who know our students well and who are always approachable and caring.

We are excited about what the future holds for our graduates and we wish them success and happiness as they embark on the next chapter of their educational journey.
