Leading international schools organisation Nord Anglia Education today welcomes Regent’s International School Bangkok into its global family of schools across 36 countries.
Today’s news further strengthens Nord Anglia’s presence in Thailand and Southeast Asia. The group now operates three leading schools in Thailand, including Regent’s Bangkok’s sister school, Regents International School Pattaya, which joined Nord Anglia in 2012, and St Andrews International School Bangkok.
Founded in 1999, Regent’s International School Bangkok is one of Thailand’s most renowned day and boarding schools. With over 800 students from more than 32 nationalities, the school is known for its academic rigour, personalised teaching, and whole-child development approach to teaching and learning.
Regent’s Bangkok offers the English National Curriculum and the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme for students aged 2 to 18, with outstanding academic outcomes. Students’ academic successes are matched by a strong emphasis on character development, leadership, and service learning, which are values Regent’s International’s and Nord Anglia’s educational philosophies share.
The Techavijit family, as a long-term partner with Nord Anglia, will continue their leadership roles within the Regent’s Schools, with Dr. Virachai Techavijit, continuing in his role as Chairman and Khun Kwanshanok Techavijit continuing as a Board Director.
Dr. Virachai Techavijit, Founder and Chairman of Regent’s International School Group, said: “The successful partnership between Regents Pattaya and Nord Anglia is testament to Nord Anglia's commitment to excellence. Our Bangkok school's partnership with Nord Anglia will allow the Regent's Group to reach its full potential. Both organisations are committed to ensuring students receive the best possible education, enabling them to gain a love of learning and develop the skills they need to make meaningful contributions to their community. We look forward to Regent’s International School Bangkok’s students benefitting from the outstanding global opportunities open to them as part of the Nord Anglia community.”
Andrew Fitzmaurice, CEO of Nord Anglia Education, said: “Regent’s Bangkok brings a strong combination of academic excellence, community spirit, and global citizenship to our family of schools. We are honoured to continue working with Dr. Virachai and his family, whose vision and leadership have shaped both schools into the outstanding educational institutions they are today.”
Regent’s Bangkok students benefit from an extracurricular programme spanning competitive sports, performing and visual arts, and social impact initiatives. Its world-class facilities include purpose-built science labs, libraries, a black-box theatre, multiple sports courts, an Olympic-size swimming pool, an artificial turf football field, and dedicated music and drama studios.
As part of the Nord Anglia family of schools, Regent’s Bangkok will retain its unique ethos and identity while benefiting from global best practice shared amongst Nord Anglia’s family of schools. The partnership will support continued investment in Regent’s Bangkok, including plans for a new multi-purpose building featuring dedicated AI and technology labs, an indoor sports hall and upgraded boarding facilities, as well as a new playground for early years, a new IB lounge, and enhancements to the football field.
As part of Nord Anglia Education, students at Regent’s Bangkok will gain access to world-class learning experiences that go far beyond the classroom, including:
