WELCOME FROM
THE HEADMASTER

“I am excited to be able to bring what makes a St Paul’s Girls' School education special to Thailand. After eleven years working at SPGS in London, I know first-hand what a remarkable place it is.

Outstanding results are the natural outcome of a rich, holistic education where learning happens everywhere. A staff of passionate experts and superb facilities are just the starting point at SPGS International School Bangkok and from the very first day our school will feel different. For instance, there will be no long lists of school rules as part of a culture of trust, respect and intellectual freedom that will allow students to develop a strong sense of values and character as they become curious and creative thinkers.

Of course, just like our parent school, we take academic achievement and learning very seriously, but we see education in the broadest sense of the word, and it is this rich and meaningful experience that will take our students to places they never imagined. I look forward to being part of their journey.”
