Asian Schools Shine in the 2025 Schools to Watch List by Carfax Education

Carfax Education has recently released the 2025 edition of the Schools to Watch list, part of The Schools Index.

For families in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, the 2025 selection offers a fresh perspective on the global education landscape. Unlike our primary Schools Index, which tracks the long-established giants of the sector, this category is dedicated to the movers and shakers – the schools that may be defining the future.

This curated selection of 25 schools complements our main Schools Index of the world’s leading 150 schools. It focuses specifically on current momentum – identifying institutions that are likely to become notable schooling options on the global stage.

Excellence in Asia

We are pleased to feature Singapore American School and King's College International School Bangkok in this year's guide. Both institutions exemplify how international schools in the region are leading the way in facility design and holistic education. In Central Asia, Haileybury Almaty is also recognised for bringing British educational standards to a new frontier.

Global Boarding Pathways

Of course, for many Hong Kong families, overseas boarding remains an attractive solution. The 2025 Schools to Watch list provides valuable insights here as well. We have flagged exciting US options like Santa Catalina School in California and Harrow International School New York, alongside rising British stars such as Strathallan School in Scotland and The Leys School in Cambridge.

Whether you are looking regionally or globally, these are the names that deserve your attention this year.
