Our Staffs' Thoughts

Our Prospectus

Amnuay Silpa which means ‘Education Provider’ is a school of great prestige, tradition and history. Established in 1926 as a tutorial school and later as a curriculum school for boys, ANS has undergone a number of radical transformations in terms of the organisation and education provision that it offers. 

With just under 100 years of history, which includes educating six former Prime Ministers of Thailand, ANS’ reputation for quality education has spread throughout the country.

Now a co-educational bilingual Thai-UK curriculum school, ANS provides a wide range of modern educational approaches to over 1000 students from Nursery to Year 13.   

Our Accreditations

Recognising the need for a more diverse curriculum that takes in the needs of the ever changing world into account has led to ANS developing a unique programme of study.  In 2013 ANS was accredited by Exeter University as the First Thinking School in Asia and in 2016 was awarded Advanced Thinking status, clearly reflecting the school’s commitment to be at the forefront of modern educational approaches. 

In June 2017 we also became a CIS  (Council of International Schools) Member School and were accredited in January 2022. In October 2022 we became a member of FOBISIA (Federation of British International Schools in Asia). In 2024 we became a member of COBIS (Council of British International Schools).

Our Founder & History

In 1960 Mr Chitra Dansuputra set up the school as an educational trust called the Amnuay Silpa Foundation which assumed responsibility for the running of the school. The number of students on roll expanded to over 7000 students where classes were arranged in shifts. By 1973 Amnuay Silpa had  received its third consecutive award for outstanding academic achievement from His Majesty the King and in 1985 ANS became a co-educational school opening its kindergarten in 1989. In 1985 the current CEO became responsible for developing the 10-year Master Plan which responded to the changing needs of  parents, society and the country and help to raise the standard of Thai Education.

In collaboration with the Bell Educational Trust, England, ANS opened the Amnuay Silpa-Bell English  Center (ASBEC) in November 1997. HRH Princess Soamsawali was the guest of honour. This project  led to improvements in classrooms, the library and canteen as well as the purchasing of improved teaching resources. Professional Development opportunities were expanded in order to raise the  standard of teaching and learning and help to move from the traditional teacher-centred approach to  a more child-centred education philosophy. 

In 2004 ANS introduced the Synchronized Dual Teaching Model in the primary years together with the full implementation of the blended Thai-UK curriculum in 2006. This bilingual model required Thai  teachers as well as qualified teachers from overseas, both having expertise in child-centred education.  

In 2006 a new Secondary building was added and improvements to the facilities continued. Three  years later, ANS was appointed as a Cambridge International Examinations Centre; the first bilingual school in Thailand to be awarded this status. There has been a consistent planned schedule of  improvements to the campus including a new basketball court, gymnasium, Early Years Centre and  this year the construction of a new Secondary School building will begin. The Board is fully committed  to continual investment in the school facilities. 

Over the decades, ANS has continued to transform its approach according to the changing needs of  society. In 2009 the school launched the Thinking School Approach in collaboration with King's School, New Zealand. The emphasis was on moving away from a content-based, factual curriculum geared  towards the passing of examinations, to a more transferable skills-based curriculum. Lessons were designed to maximize higher-order thinking opportunities enabling students to better understand the  thinking process and to develop greater independence. Extensive teacher training took place over the  years that followed to enable a very consistent, embedded program to be implemented from Nursery  to Year 13. 

Amnuay Silpa is an exceptional and unique school; one that represents the best of UK education yet retains our Thai culture and traditions. The school is located in the very centre of Bangkok at the heart of the Bangkok community, with a supportive level of engagement from parents -our campus is  deceptively spacious and we make the most of every space.

Amnuay Silpa is an exciting and dynamic place to work with a very clear vision for the future. In 2013, ANS was accredited by Exeter University as the First Thinking School in Asia and in 2016 was awarded  Advanced Thinking status. As the hub of excellence in the thinking approach, we are able to provide  excellent professional development opportunities for all staff. Recognised as a UN Respecting Rights  school, we empower our children and staff to be active community members of the school. In June 2017 we also became a CIS Member School and were accredited in January 2022. In October 2022 we  became a member of FOBISIA (Federation of British International Schools in Asia).
