Nord Anglia Education Announces Plans to Open a Second Campus for St Andrew's International School Bangkok in 2017
HONG KONG, Nov. 11, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Nord Anglia Education, Inc. (NYSE: NORD), the world's leading premium schools organization, today announced that it has signed a long term lease for a new school in Bangkok. The school will be a second campus for St Andrew's International School Bangkok and is expected to open in September 2017 with a capacity of approximately 1,500 seats.
Situated in a prime location in central Bangkok, Nord Anglia Education will invest $16.3 million over 3 years to renovate the pre-existing school campus and convert it into a contemporary and world-class learning environment.

"We are delighted to have secured this unique campus in the heart of Bangkok. We are extremely proud of the success of our existing school in Bangkok, St Andrew's International School, and see this investment as a key enabler of the next phase of Nord Anglia Education's growth in Bangkok's vibrant and expanding international school market." Andrew Fitzmaurice, CEO of Nord Anglia Education, commented.
