As the world’s leading universities continue to attract talent from every corner of the globe, Shrewsbury International School Bangkok Riverside has demonstrated that Thailand has the capacity to cultivate top-tier students who can compete with the best.
The school’s Class of 2025, comprising just 129 students, has collectively secured over 550 offers from the world’s most prestigious universities. This impressive achievement underscores Thailand's ability to provide a world-class education that rivals top institutions overseas, reducing the necessity for parents to send their children abroad for quality schooling.
Among the highlights are seven offers from Ivy League institutions including Yale and Columbia, five from Oxford and Cambridge, and over 200 from Russell Group universities in the UK. The students also received offers from leading universities in the US, Australia, Europe, and Asia, including several offers from medical schools in Thailand, signalling the growing confidence in domestic higher education.
"Watching our students grow from their first steps into Early Years to stepping into the world's top universities reminds us of the power of a holistic education," said Robert Millar, Principal of Shrewsbury Bangkok Riverside.
