[edit] History
Founded in 1957 by expatriate Rosamund Stuezel because of the lack of British education in Bangkok, the school quickly rose to prominence as a preparatory school[citation needed]. It is Bangkok's first largest international school in area next to ISB (International School of Bangkok), and has a population of over 2,600 students, from Nursery to Year 13. Most of their graduates have been accepted to college[citation needed].
