AOI aims to enhance Thai education by consolidating its schools

The Arthit Ourairat Institution (AOI) is planning to improve Thailand’s education system by bringing all its schools together under one governance model. The purpose of this plan is to better the learning experience and make the most out of facilities, educators, and resources.

 

Centralizing these critical resources will allow AOI to persistently promote its core values of integrity, innovation, inclusiveness, and passion, thereby transforming the educational settings.

 

The approach of AOI aligns its educational offerings with each community's unique needs. For example, the British International School Phuket caters to both international and Thai families in Phuket, including students from around the world who board in these schools.

 

On the other hand, Satit Bilingual School Rangsit, Satit International Bilingual School Chiang Mai, and the newly established SBS Bangkok are the only genuine bilingual schools in Thailand.

 

AOI's unique International Bilingual Curriculum combines the Thai curriculum with the Cambridge International Curriculum. This approach enhances bilingual fluency and switching between languages among students, according to Dr Apiramon Ourairat, the Chairperson and CEO of AOI. AOI's plan is for every child from any background to have access to high-quality educational opportunities that cater to their intellectual, emotional, and social needs.

 

An essential part of AOI's educational strategy is an inclusive university counselling programme that fits every student's dreams and strengths. This program helps students secure placements in top universities around the world.

 

Additionally, SBS schools provide excellent value by charging half the tuition fees of traditional international schools in Thailand. Even at the lower cost, these schools help students secure placements in universities at a rate comparable to the more expensive schools. Price reduction is important since only 1% of Thai homes can usually afford the standard annual international school fees of THB 1 million.

 

 

Meanwhile, Dr Apiramon further stated that AOI is devoted to continually innovating as part of its teaching philosophy. Each AOI school has its unique specialty, which fosters cutting-edge innovation.

 

For instance, BISP emphasizes innovation and entrepreneurship. This school gives students the chance to develop and test out their ideas. A modern Innovation Centre supporting this initiative is expected to be ready within this academic year.

 

On the other hand, SBS schools have specialized facilities for students interested in medical careers, including advanced labs and surgical rooms. These facilities let secondary students get firsthand experience in medicine, thus helping them make educated decisions about their higher studies.

 

The goal is for all students across AOI schools to benefit from each campus’s specialties, thereby achieving a more rounded learning experience in preparation for an increasingly complex global society.

 

With AOI’s innovative and quality-driven approach, higher educational standards can be expected for all of Thailand. This proactive approach ensures that students are well-equipped for a rapidly changing global society.

if you repeat the same lie enough to yourself you eventually start to believe it.

their is no school that has the facilities, the resources or the teachers to accomplish this. thai schools have to follow the thai curriculum to get accredited... unfortunately

 

they say the students will switch between thai and english.... wont happen if the department heads are thais... this school will produce the same low standard students the thai system has been doing for decades... nice dream though

The latest tweak... 

The school my son attends not a government one teaches English and Chinese, none of my son’s teachers can converse in English not sure about Chinese. I have no idea how the teachers teach English when they can’t speak it themselves, he only speaks English because of me.
