INTRODUCTION A WARM WELCOME TO THE HARROW FAMILY

The Harrow values, traditions and ethos permeate every aspect of Harrow Bangkok, and we very much hope that your children will grow up in to those young men and women of great values and character, and that they will go from our school to make a huge difference to their own community and indeed the world.

Michael Reddish | Principal Deputy Head

Thank you for choosing Harrow Bangkok, we are delighted to welcome you into this very special family.
