“When I ask our Sixth Form pupils what is best about our school, they invariably say “The teaching”.
It is therefore no wonder that their exam grades have been so impressive and that they are inspired to develop in so many ways beyond the classroom.”
Mike Walton, Head Master
Frequently Asked Questions
What should I study A Levels rather than the IB diploma?
In short, A Levels give a much greater degree of flexibility to tailor a curriculum that plays to your strengths. The A Level system delivers pupils who are better prepared for a content of single-honours university courses, and many admissions departments at top universities around the world understand the A Level system very well. The A Level system offers everything you would find in IB, but no subject is ‘forced’ upon the pupil.

What else can I do in the Sixth Form at Brighton College Bangkok?
There are a huge number of opportunities for pupils to get their teeth into outside of academic lessons.
