The American Boarding School Fair by Sesameed Education is returning to Bangkok on Sunday, 2nd November, and will be held at The St. Regis Bangkok. The fair will give families?access to admissions leaders and alumni from many of the world’s top boarding schools. Designed for parents of students aged 10 to 14 and above, the Bangkok edition will bring clarity and confidence to one of the most important decisions a family can make.?
‘Our mission is not just to secure placements, but to help students discover the environments where they will thrive – academically, socially and emotionally,’ says Founder Daniel Szeto. This student-first philosophy underpins The Sesameed Way – Educate, Prepare, Match, a distinctive framework that families will experience throughout the fair.?
The Bangkok stop is part of Sesameed’s 2025 American Boarding School Fairs circuit across the region, reflecting the firm’s expanding footprint and its commitment to ethical, student-first guidance. Sesameed is among the few Asia-based consultancies with membership in the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA), underscoring adherence to high standards of practice and integrity. Following the success of its 2023 and 2024 fairs, which drew over 550 families across Southeast Asia and the Middle East, Sesameed continues to broaden access to world-class education opportunities.
Visitors can expect to meet representatives from leading US boarding schools, the calibre of names that consistently appear on Thai families’ wish lists, including Choate Rosemary Hall, Deerfield Academy, The Lawrenceville School, and St Paul’s School, among over 30 others.?
Why boarding school, and why now? Modern boarding schools offer an immersive, 24/7 environment coupling academic rigour with leadership, resilience, and global citizenship. Students benefit from close mentorship, rich arts and athletics, student governance and service learning – experiences that build independence and emotional intelligence. At the Bangkok fair, speak to the Sesameed team to address common misconceptions head-on and learn how a well-matched boarding experience can shape a student’s university trajectory and life beyond.
What Makes US Boarding Schools Stand Out: U.S. boarding schools are renowned for opening doors and shaping futures. Students benefit from significantly stronger university placement outcomes, with acceptance rates to top institutions, including the Ivy League, reported to be up to 3,000% higher than the global average. Their campuses are home to world-class faculty and modern facilities that nurture curiosity and empower ambition. A personalised, values-driven education ensures every student is seen, guided, and supported in their own strengths. This foundation leads to proven alumni success across academics, leadership, entrepreneurship, and global careers. Beyond the classroom, students build lifelong friendships and global networks, gaining cultural confidence and connections that continue to enrich their lives long after graduation.
What can families look forward to? Families attending the fair will have opportunities for one-to-one conversations with admissions officers and move through an intentional, results-oriented program, from exploratory campus tours to application timelines and interview preparation. With a focus on personalisation and connection, the events offer an intimate environment for families to explore their options, ask targeted questions, and make well-informed decisions.?
Sesameed’s outcomes speak to its approach. In 2024, 100% of students supported by the firm received at least one school offer; and in 2025 students received 126 offers from top 30 US schools and 80% of junior-boarding applicants were accepted by their top-choice.?
Sesameed is widely regarded as a leader in personalised education consultancy across Asia and the Middle East. With over 20 years of experience and a proven record of placing students at elite institutions.
