Nord Anglia Education adds Regent’s Bangkok to its school portfolio

Nord Anglia Education has added Regent’s International School Bangkok into its global family of schools across 36 countries.

It said the news further strengthens Nord Anglia’s presence in Thailand and Southeast Asia. The group now operates three 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, Nord said 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. 

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.

Techavijit 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, added: “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.”

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.
