Thomas Banyard
Head of College
Welcome to Dulwich College Bangkok, a school where students come first and where a proud heritage of excellence shapes the future of every child.
While our Bangkok campus is new, Dulwich College is built on more than 400 years of educational heritage. We work as one family of schools, with over 400 years of UK heritage and outstanding international schools around the world. While our world-class facilities are brand new, we build on educational success which has been proven through decades of hard work. The Dulwich Difference will set our students apart from their peers by giving them a pioneering spirit and helping them to live world wise so that they can lead in a quickly changing world.
The Dulwich difference is rooted in our belief that every child should enjoy their education and be seen, heard and celebrated for their own unique achievements. This means that our students have a voice and choice, partaking in the multiple leadership opportunities and having an active contribution to school life. Our curriculum offers choice: with the option of A levels or IB for our oldest students, allowing them to thrive and attain places at the best universities around the world.
We welcome you to a school that works closely with kind and supportive families who want their children to achieve excellence, without losing the joy, purpose and kindness that are essential parts of childhood. Just as Dulwich will become part of your family, you will become part of ours.
Years 8 – 13 will not be open for the 2026 – 2027 academic year.

DUCKS (Kindergarten) | Ages 3 to 7
Dulwich College Kindergarten School (DUCKS) is set in a purpose-built Early Years environment catering to children ages 3 to 7 years old. It comprises of Nursery and Reception (collectively known as our Early Years programme) and Year 1 & 2. During their DUCKS years, our students develop their personal, social and emotional skills, communication and language skills, and physical movement skills, while building their foundation in literacy, mathematics, art and world cultures.
Every class is supported by both a native English-speaking teacher and a native Thai-speaking teacher. This dual-language environment enables children to develop confidence and fluency in English and Thai, while valuing and supporting the languages spoken at home. Language learning is embedded naturally across the curriculum and daily school life.
Junior School | Ages 7 to 11
The Junior School encompasses Years 3 – 6 (ages 7- 11) We follow the English National Curriculum modified for our international context. Junior School aims to provide each child with the very best education and support within an environment that is welcoming and safe.
We want all our children to be confident communicators, and our environment is rich in language in English, Thai and, also, Mandarin.
As well as focusing on deeper learning and the mastery of academic content, in the Junior School we also develop critical thinking skills and an academic character that inspires self-motivated learners and long-term success.
We prepare each child for the next stage of their educational adventure.
Senior School | Ages 11 to 18
Our Senior School is due to open in 2029 as part of our Phase Two development.
In the Senior School, we build on the progress and momentum of the Primary School and carefully prepare our students to thrive beyond school by developing confident, thoughtful, and outward-looking young people who have a passion for learning and leadership.
Our programmes of study for students in Years 7 to 13 combine academic rigour with flexibility and choice. Students benefit from expert subject specialists and a broad, balanced curriculum that offers both depth and breadth. As they progress through the Senior School, students are guided into either the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP) or A-Levels pathway, allowing them to pursue the route best aligned to their strengths, interests, and future ambitions.
Our Campus
Our community will thrive within a dynamic and spacious green campus with low-rise, human-scale buildings that blend traditional Dulwich heritage, Thai signature elements and contemporary design. Based on the concept of a traditional Thai village, the school will have a vibrant Village Centre at its heart, offering a unique and nurturing educational environment unlike any other in Bangkok.
Like our campus, our students benefit from the best of international school experience, underpinned with the values of a British education. This means we focus on celebrating the whole child: nurturing their love of sport, arts and music as well as helping them achieve excellence in the classroom.
