UK’s Highgate School Launches First International Campus in Chonburi
Highgate International School Thailand has officially opened its doors in Chonburi, marking the first overseas expansion for the prestigious British institution.
According to a report by Khaosod English, Highgate International School Thailand held its official opening ceremony on October 7, 2026. The institution represents the first international campus established by the renowned UK-based Highgate School.
Located near the Siam Country Club in Chonburi, the school occupies a 70-rai site. The project is the result of a strategic partnership between the Siam Motors Group and the British school. While the official opening took place in October, the school had already commenced its first phase of classes in August 2026.
For residents and expatriates in the region, the arrival of a high-profile British educational institution may influence local schooling options and community development. The presence of such an establishment often signals a growing demand for international-standard education in the Eastern Economic Corridor.
At this stage, details regarding the school's long-term expansion plans, specific curriculum offerings for future grade levels, and enrollment capacity for the upcoming academic year remain to be confirmed. Prospective families are encouraged to monitor official school communications for updates on admissions and campus facilities.
