EDUCATION
Dhammajarinee Witthaya School provides a holistic, future-ready education grounded in the Thai national curriculum and enriched with STEM, vocational training, arts, athletics, leadership development, and character education. Through active learning methods—including discussion, problem-solving, case studies, role-play, and hands-on projects—students develop critical thinking, creativity, and confidence.
STEM, AI & Vocational Skills
STEM is integrated across the curriculum in grades 1–12, ensuring every student develops strong foundations in science, mathematics, technology, engineering, and digital literacy.
This includes extensive computing instruction and access to college-level, for-credit courses in technology, engineering, innovative agriculture, digital business, and nursing.
Beginning in middle school, students build foundational AI literacy, learning logical reasoning, data fundamentals, and ethical technology use. In high school, they expand these skills through coding, digital tools, cybersecurity awareness, and technology projects that prepare them for university and modern careers.
Grades 7–12 also participate in vocational training that prepares them for real-world employment and entrepreneurship. Pathways include programming, IT support, digital media, business and accounting, culinary arts, traditional crafts, and wellness services.
Creative Arts
Creative expression is central to student development. Dhammajarinee offers traditional Thai music and dance alongside Western music and modern performance arts. These programs build confidence, cultural appreciation, discipline, and opportunities for future careers.
These programs are supported in part by the Playing For Change Foundation, a global nonprofit that uses music and the arts to empower young people worldwide.
Athletics
Physical activity is an essential part of student wellbeing and leadership development. Students participate in up to 16.5 hours of structured athletics weekly, including basketball, volleyball, futsal, sepak takraw, chairball, badminton, and pétanque. Athletics cultivate teamwork, resilience, confidence, and a strong sense of belonging.
Wellbeing & Personal Development
The school integrates meditation, yoga, and socio-emotional learning to support mental health, focus, and inner resilience. Workshops for students, faculty, and staff address topics such as conflict resolution, teamwork, empowerment, and career readiness.
Extracurricular Activities
After school, the students participate in a variety of activities, including:
Buddhist Teachings
As Thailand is over 94% Buddhist, most students follow Buddhism. The school teaches universal Buddhist principles, including compassion, global citizenship, morality, ethics, and service. The school does not discriminate based on religion, and Buddhist classes and Buddhist recitation are optional for non-Buddhist students.
