History and Background: Going Back in Time

           Discipline and Internalization are two of the things that would seem to mind upon hearing the name Teeratada Phitsanulok School. Before having this this trademark, the school was first established in the year 1996 and started to impart learning to the young ones in 1997. The name is a combination of two different words such as Teera which means wise and Tada which means wise maker. The founder has the desire to make the name into reality by molding young ones through a conducive learning where lifelong skills and global and local thinking take place.

I. ACADEMIC SUPPORT SYSTEM

          Since Teeratada Phitsanulok School is a private school, the funds for supporting the students’  academic needs are coming from the tuition fees paid for each student annually. The inclusions of the school fees paid are for workbooks, taking care of facilities, equipment and other miscellaneous expenses. There are 18 classrooms in this school wherein 2 are allocated for each level. Aside from these, there are other rooms and facilities to support the students’ learning and to ensure the availability of materials for teachers’ effective work. (presented in the table below)

II. TEACHING SYSTEM

        Teeratada Phitsanulok School is considered to be one of the best schools in the province and known in different areas in Thailand. The school has established a good reputation in global and lifelong learning, English competency, and integrative approach to teaching.

        The system of teaching in this school is rounded on various education brackets: continuous practice of skills; content and context based integration of knowledge in different subject areas (e.g. having Maths in Thai and English); project- based approach wherein the students are required to submit outputs and comply with other project requirements to test their understanding of the lesson; intensive teaching and learning international and foreign languages such as English and Chinese, and imposing discipline and giving a sense of responsibility through character building and values formation.

        Furthermore, the school also imposed rules and regulations that each and every student has to follow.

  1. Daily Timetable

         The school is also open for accepting boarding students. Some of the Prathom 4 to Matthayom 3 are sent by their parents to board inside the school. Boarding students are not allowed to go home every weekend. They are just allowed to go home every after two weeks and they should be fetched by their parents or guardians. The regular classes start from Monday to Friday. They also have private classes on weekdays and weekends.
