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:
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“Yet poetry, though the last and finest result, is a natural fruit. As naturally as the oak bears an acorn, and the vine a gourd, man bears a poem, either spoken or done. It is the chief and most memorable success, for history is but a prose narrative of poetic deeds.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We aspire to be something more than stupid and timid chattels, pretending to read history and our Bibles, but desecrating every house and every day we breathe in.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
