Arthit Ourairat Institution

Message from Dr Arthit Ourairat

I believe that people are the key to developing strong nations, and that education plays a crucial role in fostering a prosperous society. Education should be dynamic and responsive to the changing needs of the world, and should teach people how to think, experiment, and create.

The Arthit Ourairat Institution aims to provide world-class educational opportunities to internationally-minded students in Thailand, preparing them for a life of positive service to the global community.

Message from Dr Apiramon Ourairat (CEO)

Education is the blueprint of a country. Education needs to encompass more than simply academics alone. Education is about developing and equipping individuals to understand themselves and maximise their full potential. A proper education teaches students the ability for critical thought; to be inquisitive, to find and formulate answers, and ultimately to enjoy learning. The foundational result of learning is self-belief and self-confidence: to try, to fail and to overcome and then to try again. Effectively cultivated, education is a continuous learning process that is instilled early on and guided towards maturity throughout the years.

Likewise, educational institutions need to promote the fact that all individuals have different strengths and unique abilities. A school’s purpose should be to create a passionate student body whose individuals are both eager to learn a broad range of faculties and competencies as well as learning about themselves.

The Arthit Ourairat Institution was founded to underpin and advance learning institutions whose goals are open-mindedness within a passionate and stimulating environment that challenges students in a comfortable community full of diverse peers and faculty. Our students have the opportunity to become their best selves rather than to be moulded into an archetype. The Arthit Ourairat Institution attracts internationally minded students to experience a world class education that adds value not only to its graduates but also to the communities in which they will live.
