EDUCATION
Dhammajarinee Witthaya School provides a holistic, future-ready education grounded in the Thai national curriculum and enriched through values, ethics, and character development; health and wellbeing; arts and culture; athletics; STEM, AI and innovation; and leadership development. Through active learning approaches—including discussion, problem-solving, case studies, role-play, and hands-on projects—students develop critical thinking, creativity, resilience, and confidence while building the knowledge, skills, and values needed to thrive in a rapidly changing world.
Health, Wellbeing & Student Support
Dhammajarinee takes a whole-school approach to student wellbeing. Through its ASSIST student support model, the school works to understand each student’s individual needs, coordinate support across the school community, and adapt that support as she grows. The model supports the development of the whole student—academically, emotionally, physically, and socially.
In 2026, ASSIST received formal recognition from the Office of the Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, after the school presented the model at EduNEXT 2026 as part of the Innovation for Thai Education (IFTE) initiative.
Meditation, yoga, and socio-emotional learning practices further support mental health, emotional regulation, focus, and resilience. Students also develop communication, teamwork, conflict-resolution, and other life skills that help them navigate challenges and build healthy relationships.
Athletics
Physical activity and sport are part of daily life at Dhammajarinee. All students take part in daily PE, and from Grade 2 upwards students also participate in a daily structured sports period. Sports include basketball, volleyball, futsal, sepak takraw, chairball, badminton, and pétanque.
Students with particular interest and ability can also join intensive training programs and represent the school in competitions, receiving up to 16.5 hours of additional training each week. Through regular sport and physical activity, students strengthen their physical health and wellbeing while developing confidence, discipline, teamwork, resilience, and a foundation for lifelong healthy habits.
Arts & Culture
Arts and culture are an important part of student life at Dhammajarinee. Students participate in traditional Thai music, Thai dance, Muay Thai, traditional Thai handicrafts, fine arts, and Western music, giving them opportunities to learn, preserve, and take pride in Thailand’s cultural heritage while also developing a broad range of artistic and cultural skills.
Through these programs, students develop creativity, confidence, discipline, teamwork, and self-expression while discovering and strengthening their individual talents. Students also have opportunities to perform, exhibit their work, and participate in competitions, helping them build pride in both their abilities and their cultural identity.
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.
STEM, AI & Innovation
STEM and AI are embedded across Grades 1–12 through a progressive pathway that develops scientific thinking, digital literacy, problem-solving, creativity, innovation, and responsible technology use.
Students build their skills through computing, coding, data literacy, ethical AI use, STEM investigations, engineering activities, and industry-relevant learning experiences. This integrated approach helps students understand not only how technology works, but how it can be used responsibly to address meaningful challenges.
Through college-level courses, career-focused pathways, and applied learning opportunities, students connect learning to future study, higher education, and a wide range of opportunities in STEM and technology-related fields.
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.
