About Bangkok Prep

Our Mission

During 2008-9, Bangkok Prep completed an all community “Strategic Plan” which has provided direction for the next three years. The child is always at the centre of our Mission, but it is the four-way partnership between staff, student’s, parent’s and the Board that nurtures the individualism and growth.
