School and Curriculum

Sawadee kha !!
Welcome back to my journey SEA TEACHER BATCH 6


In this part, i want tell you about my school 

School Profile

     Satit Bangna School was established by Mr. Churairat (Srikraivin), the former Managing Director of Raymund Land, and is aware of the problem regarding the development of education for children in Thailand, especially the condition of its crowded streets filled with air, dust and noise pollution.  The children have to spend time commuting from home to school for up to several hours in a day that which makes it very time consuming leaving the students with little or no opportunity to play or partake in activities that are useful in the development of both their physical and mental health.  As  a result, this issue significantly impacts the development of the children’s intelligence. The result of this problem will reflect in developing the country in the future.

     Mr. Churairat planned to build a school in the suburbs in order to have a good atmosphere and nature, which are both conducive in teaching and performing sport activities.  This also helps to reduce anxiety of the students’ parents who cannot look for the school that is good enough, but in the city far from home.  There are many reasons for this.

     Mr. Churairat’s land was approximately 20 hectares in the area of Raymund Park Road at Moo 11, District of Bangplae, Bangplee in the province of Samut Prakan.  The school building has a place for the sports and recreational activities including football field, basketball court, tennis court and swimming pool, meeting the standard size in the year of 1994.

     The founder of the school chose to invite Dr. Aree Sunhachawee, the former Primary School Teacher demonstration of SWU University and former principal of the high school demonstration of SWU Administration.  She was appointed as the school’s first principal and named it “Satit Bangna School”.

     Satit Bangna School is committed to leading schools within the country by developing and learning its current reform.  The school has an overall goal to completely develop the youth’s body and mind, instilling Thai values, as well as cultivating modern competency and creativeness within the children.

School Curriculum

     Thailand Schools have to use the curriculum of the government but the schools and the teachers can modify the curriculum. So, the school have their own curriculum but for the standard still depend on government.

     The school opened the Curriculum of English Language Focus (ELF). It emphasizes learning English in Math, Science and English with a native speaker who has ability in teaching with Thai teachers and other major subjects based on the Ministry of Education.
