What we do

We support international students to achieve their academic dreams.

We believe every young person should have a mentor: an inspiring person invested in their future. Mentoring develops confidence, academic attainment and engagement in school life. Our mentors are trained to help unlock student potential and fulfil academic goals.

Working with Oppidan has been a wonderful experience. Although school applications can be stressful, they made it feel easy, offering accurate insights and expert guidance at every step. Beyond helping my daughter showcase her strengths, they gave us a deeper understanding of her potential. Oppidan truly knows the process inside out, turning what could have been a daunting journey into a rewarding experience. Thank you!

About Oppidan Education in Thailand

After ten years of success in the UK, we opened an office in Bangkok in early 2024.

Now, with the partnership and support of many of Thailand’s best schools including Harrow, Wellington, Shrewsbury, King’s and Rugby – Oppidan have also begun to support Thai families sending their children to schools overseas. The first 20-30 families are now happily placed in the world’s best schools, ready to fulfil their potential and reach the world’s best universities. Our mentoring methodology is built in collaboration with partners including Oxford University, designed to ensure the long term, all-round development of students. This approach has supported well over 10,000 families, iterated by our in-house education team. 

If you’re a Thai parent with school-aged children, we’d love to meet you.
