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:
“The foregoing generations beheld God and nature face to face; we, through their eyes. Why should not we also enjoy an original relation to the universe? Why should not we have a poetry and philosophy of insight and not of tradition, and a religion by revelation to us, and not the history of theirs?”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
““And now this is the way in which the history of your former life has reached my ears!” As he said this he held out in his hand the fatal letter.”
—Anthony Trollope (1815–1882)
“There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
