The scholl:

The schools (Primary and Secondary) have an extremely good reputation for providing Thai children with quality, well-rounded education.

The Primary and Secondary schools are located on different campuses in the heart of Bangkok. Each school has an enrollment of approximately 3500 male students.

• The schools are exceedingly well equipped with modern facilities including computer laboratories, music laboratories, specialist arts and crafts rooms, libraries, tennis courts and swimming pools. The 2009 academic year saw the addition of the new inter-active DISCOVERY Learning Centre.

• The Head of the English Native Speakers Program (ENS) is Mr. Nick Tongen. He is responsible for overseeing all aspects of the English Native Speakers Program in cooperation with ACP Staff.

Teaching and learning:

• ENS teachers are required to teach a maximum of 20 hours face to face per week. There are 22-23 students in each ENS class.

• During relief from teaching hours, ENS teachers are required to fulfill other duties such as lesson planning, lesson report completion, classroom decoration, worksheet marking and resource building.

• ENS teachers are provided classrooms to teach in with modern audio-visual facilities and plenty of space to teach activity-focused and communication-based English classes. To assist the teachers, ACP has also made a significant investment in new books, games, videos, posters and other resources to be incorporated into ENS lessons.

• The ENS program focuses on teaching all four skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) to young learners.

• The ENS curriculum relies mainly on the story-based, award-winning, Bugs, course book series by Macmillan.
