Suankularb Wittayalai Nonthaburi is a state secondary school in the Pak Kret district of Nonthaburi province and the second school of the Suankularb Wittayalai network. It grew out of a gift from Phasuk and Ngek Maneechak, a married couple who lived in Pak Kret and gave 27 rai of land by Tiwanon Road for a school; the Ministry of Education declared the school open on 30 March 1978 under the name "Suankularb Wittayalai 2 (Phasuk Maneechak)", and on 9 November 1979 gave it the name it bears now. The first intake - 527 people in twelve classes, with twenty-two teachers - studied for two years in other people's buildings, the boys at Suankularb in the capital and the girls at the Nonthaburi girls' school, until its own blocks went up. Today the grounds of 25 rai 3 ngan 18 square wa hold three teaching blocks with names bestowed by Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, an assembly hall, two libraries, a park, a pavilion on the water and a computing centre. Admission is to ม.1 and ม.4, the first and the fourth year of the secondary stage, separately for the general classes and separately for the classes of the special programmes. The school names neither fees, nor a number of pupils, nor its teaching staff, nor a list of clubs on its site: almost everything there is posted as pictures and files, and the section on the international programme opens empty.

CambridgeCambridge International Education
Part of the University of Cambridge. It allows a school to teach the Cambridge programmes and to enter pupils for the exams. There are four stages and they are authorised separately: primary, lower secondary, IGCSE and A Level. If the stages are known they are named in the line below; if that line is missing, the school does not publish them, and the Cambridge registry does not show stages either - it gives only the name of the centre, the country and whether private candidates are accepted. Cambridge calls what it does registration rather than accreditation, and the network holds about ten thousand schools.
What the badge means for this school. The school is allowed to run this programme and to award its certificate. This is a confirmation of the programme, not a judgement on the school as a whole. The entry stands in the organisation's public register - anyone can check it. Which stages - from the early years programme for three-year-olds up to A-Level - this school is approved for is not stated here.

Campus: Grounds of 25 rai 3 ngan 18 square wa by Tiwanon Road. Three teaching blocks - "So Tho 1", "So Tho 2" and "So Tho 3" - an assembly hall, two libraries, "Suan Sermpanya" and "Tinsulanon", a pavilion on the water, the "Chalermphrakiat 60 Phansa Maharachini" park, a centre for electronics and computing and the school internet centre. What the school does not have: The school's own approach road is Kaenratana Road, twelve metres wide and 343 metres long: the owner of the plot in front of the school gave the land for it, and in 2002 handed the strip itself to the school, after which the area of the grounds grew to what it is now.

Reviews
No reviews yet. The community rating counts towards the score once a school has five verified reviews - until then we do not show a zero, so as not to mislead.

A low score here means the school does not write about this, not that the school does not have it: a school with good security and a sparse site will score low. A school can fill in its profile, and the score will be counted again.
The score is counted from 7 of the 9 criteria.Only those with checkable data count: programmes and accreditations from official registers, the fee from a published price list. Where it says "scored on the median", the school has no data and the middle of the list is put in its place, so that a gap gives no advantage. Admissions, teaching staff and reviews come in as their data arrives.
