About Sujipuli School
Sujipuli is a new-concept alternative school in Chachoengsao, founded by Dr. Nadrudee Chitrangsan on the belief that a good way of learning matters more than grades. We develop the whole child on a foundation of real competencies, so every student grows happily and ready for the future.
Our Story
Sujipuli School was founded in 2019 by Dr. Nadrudee Chitrangsan, then principal of Satit Bangna School and a member of the Thai Ministry of Education's competency-based curriculum research team. Recognizing the systemic challenges and slow pace of national education reform, she chose to establish an independent school — making Sujipuli the very first school in Thailand to fully implement a competency-based approach. It opened with 70 students from Pre-Kindergarten to Grade 5 and, thanks to its rapid success, has grown to a total enrollment of 661 students in the 2025 academic year.

The Scholar's Heart — Su Ji Pu Li
We believe every child learns with a scholar's heart — by listening, thinking, questioning and writing — to build deep understanding they can truly use.
Suta — Listen
Listen attentively to understand
Jinta — Think
Think and reason analytically
Puccha — Ask
Ask questions with curiosity
Likhita — Write
Express and record ideas
Our Approach
We use hands-on Active Learning that emphasizes thinking, questioning, and problem-solving — assessing each learner's whole-child competencies rather than just test scores, so children can truly apply what they learn.
