The school

Highgate International School Thailand is the first overseas campus of Highgate School in London. It opened near Siam Country Club in August 2026.

"Brand new, opened in August 2026. I don't know much about it yet, though I know some of the teachers there. It runs a Man City Football School in partnership with Manchester City, which I think is a really nice touch."
Shane's take, as a Pattaya parent
  • Man City Football School on site
  • Brand-new campus
  • Big one-off enrolment fee, so budget for it
