Harrow International School, Bangkok is a British international school in Don Mueang District, Bangkok.
It was established and gained its license to operate in Thailand in 1998 in association with Harrow School, a boarding school for boys in London, United Kingdom. The school has 1,450 students, both boys and girls, ranging in age from six months to 18 years, representing 37 different nationalities. The school is divided into two day schools, upper and lower, and bases its education on the national curriculum. Harrow Bangkok specialises in boarding provision for students from Year 5 upwards. The majority of teaching staff are recruited from the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the Commonwealth. The current headmaster, Michael Farley, joined the school in 2012.
As of 2016[update] yearly tuition fees ranged from 410,000 baht for half-day, pre-nursery students to 867,000 baht for Year 12-13 students. Full boarding for newly enrolled students is 590,000 baht per year.
Harrow International School was founded in 1998 and first operated as a language school at Riverine Place Condo. The first headmaster was Mr Stuart Morris, who had previously been headmaster of a school in Malaysia. Mr Morris oversaw a huge period of growth for Harrow International School as the school's enrolment rose to over 700 students by the time he left in 2002.
Dr J Mark Hensman, previously a headmaster in his native New Zealand, took over as headmaster and oversaw the school's relocation to a purpose-built campus at Don Mueang, near Don Mueang Airport, in 2003. The new 35 acre campus included new facilities, sports fields and boarding houses, and allowed the school enrolment to increase to 1,160. During his tenure, the iconic boater and the house system were introduced, strengthening ties to the original Harrow School.
Harrow Bangkok is operated by a private company, Harrow Asia Limited. Harrow Asia Limited also oversees Harrow International Schools in Beijing and Hong Kong. Harrow Shanghai is scheduled to open in August 2016.
