The Secondary Phase is structured as follows:-
Key Stage 3 (Year 7-9). Year 7 in the Thai educational system is regarded as Primary. Therefore our students sit ONet examinations at the end of Year 7.
Key Stage 4 (Year 10+11). In the Thai system Year 10 is the end of Lower Secondary education so our Year 10 students sit ONet examinations.
Key Stage 5 (Year 12 + 13). Year 13 is the end of formal education in the Thai system and so our students sit the Year 13 ONet examinations.
Within the Secondary Phase are subject departments, led by a Head of Department.  Our departments are as follows:
