Highgate International School Thailand
If you are a parent living in Pattaya or planning to relocate to Thailand, there is exciting news on the horizon: the renowned Highgate School from London is establishing its first international campus just outside Pattaya, with an official opening scheduled for August 2026.
Established in 1565, Highgate School is one of the United Kingdom’s most respected independent institutions, celebrated for its academic rigor, strong values, and commitment to developing well-rounded individuals. Now, this legacy of excellence is being brought to Southeast Asia, offering families in Thailand access to the same high standards without the need to send their children abroad.
A Legacy of Excellence – Now in Thailand
For more than 450 years, Highgate School in London has educated generations of students with a focus on academic achievement, character development, and global awareness. The Thailand campus is not a franchise; it is a fully integrated extension of the original school, designed to carry forward its values, culture, and educational excellence.
This marks the first international expansion in the school’s long history, demonstrating a strong commitment to building a world-class education hub in the region.
A Prime Location Near Pattaya
Highgate International School Thailand is located in Chonburi province, near Siam Country Club. The site offers a peaceful, green environment just 30 minutes from central Pattaya and about 90 minutes from Bangkok.
Its strategic location also allows easy access to two international airports: Suvarnabhumi International Airport and U-Tapao International Airport. This makes it an ideal choice for both local and international families looking for quality education within reach of major transportation links.
