Welcome to this month’s look at news from Assumption College Sriracha

Assumption runs several English programs for its 4,600 students, taught by nearly 30 foreign teachers.

Welcome to Assumption College Sriracha – the largest school on the Eastern Seaboard of Thailand.
Assumption College Sriracha (ACS) is a prestigious Catholic school which has been educating children since 1944.

It is renowned for its academic and sporting excellence, and offers a wide variety of educational programmes.

ACS has expanded its English courses dramatically in recent years. ACS now offers four specially-designed study areas: the English Programme (EP), Special English Programme (SEP) Extra Tuition for English (ETE) and Mini English Programme (MEP).
Each course has been approved by the Thai Ministry of Education.

ACS employs nearly 30 native English speakers to teach students using communicative methods of teaching. Students are also able to study for internationally-recognised Cambridge exams which test their levels of English.

The English Programme (EP) is in every year group up to Mathayom 2.
EP students study in classes of 30 children or less. Students have around 15 lessons a week studying English, maths and science with native English speakers.
This year there is a new Special English Programme (SEP). SEP students study English five times a week in classes of around 17 children, taught by native English speakers.
In the Mini English Programme (MEP) students receive around five lessons of English each week.

In addition, Assumption is continuing the Extra Tuition for English classes, which are held throughout the week after the main school day, and also on Saturdays. This offers an ideal opportunity for students who wish to learn additional English skills, or want to revise skills they have already learned.
Ayuthaya Day Out
Foreign teachers from Assumption College Sriracha have been on a cultural trip to learn more about the history of Thailand.
Nearly 30 teachers went on the day trip, which was organised by Brother Director Sakda Kitcharoen.

On Sunday, September 14, the teachers set off from Assumption and headed to the Damnoen Saduak Floating Market in Ratchaburi. They took one of the many boats through the narrow waterways, buying souvenirs and trying out the local food.

After the market, the party made its way to the 120-metre high Phra Pathom Chedi.

The teachers had lunch at ‘Prae Pin Thong’ seafood restaurant in Nakhon Chaisi before visiting the Thai Human Imagery Museum. The museum houses models of Thai monarchs, monks, and several international names, such as Sir Winston Churchill and Abraham Lincoln.

The final stop was in Ayuthaya, which was the Thai capital for more than 400 years and has many relics from the past. Ajarn Monthon Ngenhirun, Managing Director of the Classic Tour company, showed the group around the grounds of the famous Wat Phra Sri Sanphet.

The evening ended with a dinner cruise along the river.
The day out included the school’s English and Chinese teachers.
