Suksanari (SNR) School
Suksanari School is a prominent public school for girls offering secondary education from Mathayom 1 through 6. It was founded by Somdejputthajarn (Nuam Putthasaramahatera), the abbot of Anongkaram Temple in 1910. The school was established inside Anongkaram Temple to provide education for females, who historically had not been emphasized in the Thai education system. To date, the school has an enrollment of 3,390 female students and it is located in the Thonburi district of Bangkok: close to Wongwian Yai BTS station. Suksanari school offers a Full English Program (EP) that consists of Math, Science, English Literature, History, and Advance Communicative English. Currently one grade level, Mathayom 1, is being taught at Suksanari School. The classrooms are fitted with dedicated air conditioners and LCD projectors. The number of students per class typically has a maximum of 35 students.
“Working at SNR provides a teacher with the opportunity to learn how to manage a classroom of eager learners all while fully immersing themselves into Thai culture.”

Advice to NEW teachers coming to your school: Teaching is often like herding cats. Learn to embrace whimsy, and don't restrict yourself to the textbook!

“Teaching at Suksanari school has been an absolute joy! The girls are curious, well mannered, and are eager to learn and put into practice their English language skills. It’s inspiring to be a part of a community that supports one another, especially in overcoming fear around ESL communication. I love it here and I am looking forward to the upcoming year”

The energy and enthusiasm of the students allows for an environment where young women can flourish academically, socially, and personally.
