Demonstration School of KKU

"Creative Innovation, Technology, Leadership, and Integrity"
Academic Support System
The school strongly promotes the utilization of technology within classrooms. They recognize the fact that the students can learn well if they use the things that they are familiar with. Hence, the classrooms and the teachers are well-equipped to cater this need.
​
Each classroom has its own speaker, television, and computer. Both the teachers and the students do not need to bring their own laptops and projectors when presenting. It also has fans, locker, whiteboard, chairs, and tables for the students and their subject teacher.
As for the students activities, the school provides them with a wide range of both academic and extra-curricular activities. There are facilities dedicated for the students to do different things. I was lucky to be invited to visit their SMD KKU Health & Innovation Exhibition 2025. This is one of the activities they hold to feature the students' research innovations and ideas for the community. Upon witnessing their presentation, I can say that the school serves as the place where the students can showcase their talents freely.

Teaching System
The day is divided into eight teaching periods with each period lasting for fifty minutes. The teachers prepare their lesson plan ahead of time, which can be used for numerous periods depending on the students' progress. The only unwritten rule here is to give only one activity per meeting. According to the teachers I asked, it's because the students will not be able to handle it. After all, only a few of them are fluent in English.​
Based on my mentor's class schedule below, she only meets each class (Matthayom 4/1-4/5) twice a week.
