Director of Admissions and Marketing

Executive Summary

Wellington College International School Bangkok opened in September 2018 and has quickly gained a reputation as one of the top schools in the city, in Thailand and in the ASEAN region. The founding school was established in the UK 165 years ago and the links are very strong across all elements – ethos, values, teaching. The family includes schools in China, India and a new school about to open in Jakarta, Indonesia. A small number more schools are planned in Southeast Asia and across the world.

Wellington students benefit from a pioneering education. They will grow up to be global citizens who will help shape and serve the world. Their values are strong. Every student becomes inspired, individual, intellectual, inclusive and independent.

The School currently offers a first-class British education for students aged 2 to 17. Our first cohort of IGCSE students completed their examinations in June 2024 and achieved an average grade of A. We are academically selective, and our students thrive here. The language of the classroom and the playground is English, while we also honour our host country with daily Thai language and culture lessons. Our children are scientists, mathematicians, swimmers, dancers, leaders, and friends to all. Above all they are happy and fulfilled.

The school is situated on a 70 rai (28-acre) campus in Krungthep Kreetha. It houses the original Junior School building, a huge sports development with Olympic size pool, two full-sized football pitches, 400-metre running track, 600-seat theatre, the state-of-the-art Skylight building, and more exciting developments to come over the next four years. We currently have almost 1,000 students; when the school is completely full, in 5-6 years, that number will have grown to around 1,600.
