History
From the vision of the school founders Riza Sripetchvandee and Ian Davison, a new school was opened in 2002 under the name of Windsor International School and ownership of Windsor Education Co. Ltd. The School was constructed at Soi 164 Ramkhamheang Road, Minburi, in Eastern Bangkok.
The pioneering band of teaching staff were recruited from England and led by the Headmaster Mr Stephen Robinson. Over the course of the next two years pupil numbers grew steadily, and a new building was opened in September 2004 to meet the demand.
In April 2004, the school became affiliated to the Bromsgrove School UK and changed its name to Bromsgrove International School Thailand. Bromsgrove School UK was founded over 500 years ago and is a leading co-educational independent day and boarding school for 1,660 pupils situated in the English Midlands.
In 2004, a new plot of land was purchased, set in the serenity of Windsor Park and Golf Club, 20 minutes from the Ramkhamhaeng Road Campus, and building commenced on a new Preparatory and Secondary School for students from 7 to 18 years. The work was completed in September 2005, and the new campus opened the same month. The Ramkhamheang Road Campus was converted to an Early Years campus for children aged 2 to 6.
A new Headmaster, Mr Jeffery Topp was appointed in August 2005 to take the School forward in the next phase of its development. Mr Topp came to Bromsgrove with extensive senior management experience from England and Thailand in both day and boarding schools. The current Headmaster is Mr Steve Challoner, formerly of Bromsgrove School UK.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“History does nothing; it does not possess immense riches, it does not fight battles. It is men, real, living, who do all this.... It is not “history” which uses men as a means of achieving—as if it were an individual person—its own ends. History is nothing but the activity of men in pursuit of their ends.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“It may be well to remember that the highest level of moral aspiration recorded in history was reached by a few ancient Jews—Micah, Isaiah, and the rest—who took no count whatever of what might not happen to them after death. It is not obvious to me why the same point should not by and by be reached by the Gentiles.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“This above all makes history useful and desirable: it unfolds before our eyes a glorious record of exemplary actions.”
—Titus Livius (Livy)
