Dulwich College Bangkok opens formally, Regents Pattaya pupils take world-top marks and this weekend's open days: week in international schools (1 – 7 November 2026)

By British Learning Centre

British Learning Centre "Week in international schools" series cover: branded purple and gold graphic for the Bangkok and Eastern Seaboard weekly round-up.

Each week we draw together the most useful international-school news for families in Bangkok and on the Eastern Seaboard: openings, admissions news, exam results and dates worth putting in the diary. This instalment covers Sunday 1 to Saturday 7 November 2026.

The week belonged to Dulwich College Bangkok, which held its formal opening on Thursday, three months after teaching began. On the Eastern Seaboard, Regents International School Pattaya celebrated pupils who took the highest marks in the world in Pearson IGCSE subjects. And today, Saturday 7 November, three events are running at once: Brighton College Bangkok's Scholarship Day, Wycombe Abbey International School Bangkok's Kids AI Summit, and British Learning Centre at the BKK Family Expo at EmQuartier.

Dulwich College Bangkok opens its Bang Na campus formally

On Thursday 5 November, Education in Motion and its Thai partner formally opened Dulwich College Bangkok at its 40-rai campus in Bang Na. The school has been teaching since August 2026 and now has a pioneer cohort of about 200 pupils from Nursery to Year 7. Phase 1 is designed for around 1,000 pupils; the school plans to grow year by year to Year 13, where pupils will be able to choose between A Level and the IB Diploma.

The ceremony was attended by the Deputy Minister of Education and by former Prime Minister Anand Panyarachun, an alumnus of Dulwich College in London. Guests watered a young native tree rather than cutting a ribbon. The Head of School, Mr Thomas Banyard, leads a campus that is targeting both LEED Gold and WELL Gold certification, with solar power, wastewater treatment and classroom air filtration. Tuition for 2026/27 starts at ฿711,100 a year for Nursery, according to the school's published fee schedule.

Mr Ash attended the opening on behalf of British Learning Centre. For families who would like to visit, Dulwich College Bangkok runs Curiosity Fridays open houses during term — see the events page for the next available date.

Regents Pattaya pupils take highest marks in the world

Regents International School Pattaya announced Outstanding Pearson Learner Awards for four pupils in the 2025/26 examination series. Ploy gained the Highest Mark in the World in Pearson Edexcel International GCSE English Language A. Minha gained the Highest Mark in the World in International GCSE Mathematics and the Highest Mark in Asia in International GCSE Geography. Sieun also gained the Highest Mark in the World in International GCSE Mathematics. Diana gained the Highest Mark in Thailand in GCSE Russian.

In a separate Cambridge announcement, four Regents pupils were named Top in Thailand in Cambridge IGCSE subjects: Minha in Information and Communication Technology, and Min, Tonhom and Martha in Travel and Tourism.

These results matter for families planning Years 10 and 11: sustained preparation in English and mathematics — the subjects at the heart of most IGCSE pathways — is what turns ambition into marks like these.

Thai language and culture: curriculum revisions by early 2027

A useful reminder for placement conversations this month: following the Ministry of Education's renewed emphasis in June 2026 and OPEC's August 2026 guidelines, international schools are expected to revise their Thai language, culture and history provision by early 2027. This is not a brand-new law this week, but the guidance is now circulating more widely among schools and teachers. When you visit a school, it is worth asking how Thai is taught for both Thai nationals and foreign pupils, and what will change next year.

Dates for the diary

Families can book a place at the events below through British Learning Centre. Where an event has no booking page yet, please contact us and we will be happy to help. You can see every event on our events page.

Saturday 14 November and Saturday 21 November are especially busy, so families hoping to see more than one school on those days may wish to plan their route early.

Why it matters for families

Three well-known British names — Dulwich, Wycombe Abbey and Highgate — are now firmly on the Bangkok and Eastern Seaboard map for 2026/27 entry and beyond. Scholarship and open-day windows are tight: Wycombe Abbey International School Bangkok's Dove Scholarship applications close mid-November, and Highgate's Senior School information morning on 14 November is described as its only scholarship session this year. Assessments for these awards reward preparation, so it is worth starting early.

British Learning Centre's school-placement support can help you build a realistic shortlist, compare new and established schools side by side, plan open-day visits and prepare for entrance and scholarship assessments. Our UK-curriculum tuition, in Pattaya, at Lasalle's Avenue in Bangkok and online, supports pupils through admissions tests, scholarship rounds and IGCSE English and mathematics — the very subjects in which Regents' award-winners excelled. Every pupil can start with a free assessment in English and maths, with a written report.

Closing

A formal opening in Bang Na, world-top marks on the Eastern Seaboard and a diary full of open days: November is the month to visit, compare and ask questions. If you would like help planning visits, preparing for a scholarship or finding the right school, please contact British Learning Centre. We are always glad to help.
