History
History
Dulwich College Bangkok is part of the Dulwich College International (DCI) network, which was co-founded in 2003 by Fraser White and Karen Yung. The founding school, Dulwich College in London, was established in 1619 by Edward Alleyn. In May 2024, Education in Motion (EiM), the parent organization of DCI, partnered with Sakol Sathapat, a Thailand-based developer, to establish Dulwich College Bangkok. The school is scheduled to open in August 2026 in the Bang Na district of Bangkok.
History
Harrow International School Bangkok opened in 1998 as the first Harrow School in Asia, chosen because of long-standing ties between Harrow London and the Thai royal family. 23 princes had attended Harrow in London, including Prince Mahidol, the current King’s grandfather. In 2002, the school grew to 800 pupils under Headmaster Mr Stuart Morris, and Dr Mark Hensman succeeded him, later helping establish Harrow schools in Beijing and Hong Kong. In 2003, the school relocated to its current 35-acre campus in Don Mueang, introducing its House system, boarding provision, Leadership in Action programme, and a dedicated Preparatory School (Years 6–8). The school continued to evolve with building expansions (such as the Creative & Performing Arts Centre, Steinway Hall, libraries) and celebrated key milestones like its 10th anniversary in 2008, 20th in 2017, and 25th in 2023, when Mr James Murphy‑O’Connor was appointed Head Master.
