Intensive English Program (IEP)
Anubannongkhai School — the provincial model primary school of Nong Khai and a World-Class Standard School under the Nong Khai Primary Educational Service Area Office 1
About the program
The Intensive English Program (IEP) at Anubannongkhai School follows the Basic Education Core Curriculum B.E. 2551 (revised 2560) in every learning area, while core subjects are taught in English by foreign teachers — so children use English naturally in a warm and happy learning environment.
As the province’s Anuban school and a World-Class Standard School, we aim to be a model of primary education in Nong Khai — developing global citizens with knowledge, thinking skills and good character, while keeping Thai identity.
