Bangkok International Preparatory & Secondary School (Bangkok Prep) was founded in 2003 as a British international school serving students from early years through secondary education. The school was established as an independent, privately owned institution approved by Thailand’s Ministry of Education. It achieved triple accreditation from CIS, NEASC, and ONESQA in 2011 and was re-accredited by CIS in 2022. The Secondary Campus at T77 opened in 2017, expanding the school’s facilities to accommodate continued growth. Over the years, Bangkok Prep has become part of a strong network of regional and international educational associations, reflecting its steady institutional development.
The Bangkok Prep community includes over 1,600 students from more than 50 nationalities, fostering a diverse and inclusive environment. The school hosts regular events such as International Day, Sports Day, and community service initiatives that encourage cross-cultural exchange and teamwork. Co-curricular activities, school productions, and sustainability campaigns play a central role in community engagement. These events help maintain close connections among students, parents, and staff throughout the academic year.
