A World-Class Campus Designed for Excellence
Bangkok has long been recognised as a thriving centre of international education, home to some of the best schools in Asia. Dulwich Bangkok will be one of the most advanced and inspiring schools in the region, designed to foster academic excellence, creativity, and student wellbeing.
Set within a spacious, green campus, the school will blend state-of-the-art educational facilities with nature-rich surroundings, creating an atmosphere that encourages curiosity, collaboration, and personal growth.
At the heart of the Dulwich vision is a commitment to sustainability and student wellbeing. Leading the industry in eco-friendly architecture, the campus will be built with cutting-edge technology that incorporates green spaces, energy-efficient buildings, and sustainable design principles to reduce its environmental footprint. The school’s well-ventilated classrooms and natural light will integrate air purification systems to protect children from seasonal pollution.
Shaded outdoor learning areas and healthy, green spaces ensure students thrive in a setting that prioritises physical and mental wellbeing. The campus design emphasises Dulwich’s unique student-centred approach, featuring a dedicated “village centre” that supports learning and holistic development.
The campus will also house world-class sports, performing arts, and STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) facilities, reinforcing Dulwich’s commitment to a well-rounded education. With dedicated innovation labs, music and art studios, and premier sports facilities, students will have the opportunity to explore their interests, develop leadership skills, and build confidence for future success.
The first phase of development will accommodate up to 1,000 students, providing a nurturing environment for Early Years and Junior School students aged 3 to 11. Subsequent phases will expand offerings, paving the way for post-secondary success to leading global higher education institutions. EiM has partnered with Sakol Sathapat, a prominent Thailand-based developer associated with Chansamorn Wattanavekin’s family, to make this vision of Dulwich Bangkok a reality.
With Dulwich College International expanding its presence in Asia, Dulwich Bangkok is proud to be part of this leading network of institutions, contributing to the rich educational landscape whilst offering a distinctive, academically rigorous, and values-driven approach that will prepare students for success and fulfilment on the global stage. Adam Gibson’s leadership will play a pivotal role in establishing a school that upholds the Dulwich tradition of academic excellence and innovation that also embraces the unique opportunities of Bangkok’s vibrant international community.
