Education

The school's Mathayom 1-6 students comprise 50 classes; 38 regular program classes and 12 in the English program. It accepts regular admission to mathayom 1 and 4. In the junior years the syllabus is uniform for all the students, but in the senior years the school's syllabus is divided into four programs with different subjects:
  • Science–Mathematics
  • Mathematics-Arts
  • Mathematics-Arts
  • Arts–Mathematics *
The difference between science–mathematics and art programs is that art programs do not include science subjects in the syllabus. The program is focused on the study of liberal arts. Each student has a choice of foreign language, but the science–mathematics student has English as the only language option. Programs are chosen by the student entering Mathayom 4 and can't be changed until graduation. The programs are aimed to aid the students during their university periods, even in the stage of entrance preparation.
