Academics
What curriculum do you follow?
Wichai Wittaya School Cambridge Program is approved by the Education Ministry of Thailand and Cambridge Education. Wichai follows mainly the Math–Science stream; students learn according to their abilities and talents.
What extra-curricular activities are available for my child?
All grades from KG1–Year 13 have field trips and activities chosen to answer students' interests and support their lessons. There are also indoor activities such as Spelling Bee competitions, Math Week, Thai language activities, Science Fair, and the End of Year Show — plus yearly club activities and the Sufficiency Garden project, where each class grows its own vegetables.
What is your school calendar?
Wichai follows the Academic Calendar of the Ministry of Education of Thailand. Semester 1 begins in the second week of May and ends at the end of September; Semester 2 begins in the fourth week of October and ends in the first week of March.
Students
How many students are there in the school?
Wichai Wittaya is a Nursery to Year 13 school set on a single campus, with class sizes of up to 25 students in Nursery and Kindergarten and up to 30 in Primary and Secondary.
Are students grouped by ability?
Students are not set by ability in Kindergarten and Primary. Only in lower Secondary (Year 7–9) are students divided into two rooms based on their English level, so language can be taught in homogeneous classes. In all other subjects students share the same room.
Will my child have difficulty transitioning from another school system?
Young learners (Nursery–Kindergarten): children adapt quickly, and our teachers are experienced with students who have no background in Thai or English.
From international schools: students may need support in Thai-language subjects — Wichai gives them time and teacher support to catch up.
From other EP schools: no curriculum differences; students adapt in a short time.
From abroad: supported with intensive English and Thai language help as needed.
Teachers & communication
How do I communicate with my child's teacher, and how often will I receive reports?
You can call the school for an appointment with class teachers and administrators. Each semester there are two reports (Mid-Semester and Semester End), monthly progress reports for Kindergarten and Primary students, and the "My Weekend Book" project for Primary students' English progress.
Are all of your teachers fully certified?
Yes — our hand-picked foreign and Thai teachers are qualified educators, and our bilingual school system has become a role model for schools in Thailand and neighboring countries.
Admissions & scholarships
Do you offer scholarships?
Yes. The school offers Academic scholarships for entry into Grade 7 to 10, plus Performing Arts (Instrumental and Voice) and Sports scholarships for entry into Grade 7 to 10. All scholarships are awarded on the basis of testing results, previous school reports, and an interview.
What are your intake years?

Do you accept children who do not speak English?

Where needed, students are accepted with conditions and supported with extra English courses.

In Secondary there are intensive English courses for new students, English reinforcement courses, and a Summer University Entrance Camp for Years 11–13.
Do you have out-of-hours care?
Yes — our After School Program provides homework assistance and supervised activities until parents can pick up their children.
Policy
How is your policy for students with learning disabilities?
Wichai Wittaya is designed for a bilingual (English Program) system and our educators are specialized in the Cambridge system. Students with learning disabilities need intensive care from specialist educators, which is beyond the scope of our program — we recommend schools with dedicated support so every child gets the attention they deserve.
Are gifted and talented students supported?
Yes. At Secondary level we provide courses and activities in mathematics, science, and computer subjects. Gifted students are followed by assigned teachers, study advanced topics, and are trained for national and international competitions, including Science Project Competitions.
