Amnuay Silpa School

Amnuay Silpa School (Thai: โรงเรียนอำนวยศิลป์) is a coeducational private school in Bangkok, Thailand. It teaches kindergarten, primary and secondary levels. The school was founded in 1926, formerly as an all-boy school. In the early years, Chitra Dansuputra was the co-founder and the owner of the school. He later set up a non-profit educational trust "Amnuay Silpa Foundation" and donated the school to the foundation in 1960.

At its peak, the school had a large student body of 7,000, but has since scaled down to about 1,500.[1] Its alumni include six prime ministers of Thailand: Kriangsak Chamanan, Chatichai Choonhavan, Anand Panyarachun, Suchinda Kraprayoon, Chavalit Yongchaiyudh and Somchai Wongsawat.

The bilingual education at Amnuay Silpa School is for children whose first language is Thai and whose target language is English. A combined Thai/British Curriculum has been developed for this purpose.
