The teaching methodology integrates Thai and English as complementary tools for learning, ensuring that both languages reinforce one another. This approach leads to deeper understanding and promotes an English-speaking environment, which helps students achieve an accent that is approximately 70% native-like.
Innovation through Historical Theme studies
Project-Based Integrated Learning
The integrated teaching approach through project-based learning helps students:
- Explore questions born from curiosity.
- Actively seek information.
