As of 2009, the school had approximately 2,900 students, and conducts a fully bilingual program in Thai and English from kindergarten 1 (3-year-olds) to matayom 6 (17-year-olds). The school occupies three campuses in the Bang Phongphang Sub-district of Yan Nawa District. A nursery class for two-year-old children was introduced in May 2009. Sarasas Ektra is one of 24 schools in the Sarasas affiliation, 15 of which have bilingual programmes. CurriculumThe model of bilingual education applied at Sarasas Ektra is known as "parallel immersion". Students are taught three key learning areas (mathematics, science, and social studies) in both English and Thai – learning the content first in the mother tongue (Thai) and then covering the same or similar content in English. The Thai and English lessons are taught by different teachers and no language-switching occurs in either lesson. It is expected that the Thai language lesson will provide content and conceptual knowledge at a deeper level than the English lesson, as the former is in the students' first language. The English language lesson will give more emphasis to the language specific to the content. On completion of schooling at Sarasas Ektra, students are expected to be equally able to pursue higher education in Thai language or English language courses. The music programSarasas Ektra has currently 44 music teachers at the school, mainly Thai, but including 10 Filipinos, a French, and a United States national. The school has a 130+ piece traditional orchestra, as well as a classical orchestra, strings orchestra, wind ensembles, brass bands, and choir. After finishing second in the Ninth Asian Symphonic Band competition at Mahidol University, Bangkok, in 2008, the school's symphonic band was invited to perform at the Beijing International Band Festival in July 2009. Name of Project: Participating in International Wind Ensemble Competitions.Purpose of project: 1. The students of Sarasas Ektra Symphonic band will consistently develop their skills in music. 2. The students of Sarasas Ektra Symphonic Band will experience participating in international competitions. DetailsSarasas Ektra Symphonic Band started in 2007. One of the objectives was for the band to have experience and exposure performing for the public. In the same year, the SESB participated in the 9th Asian Symphonic Band Competition (ASBC) held by Mahidol University. Multiple intelligencesFrom kindergarten to year 9, there are regular activities designed to discover and express students' different intelligences. The program is based on Professor Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligences framework and the outcomes are presented to parents each year in the form of performances and displays of students' work on a given theme. Administration and staffThe school is managed by the Director, Mr Pisut Yongkamol (MEd Queensland U.T.) and a team of Thai vice-directors supported by a foreign administration team. There are more than 200 Thai teachers and just over 100 foreign teachers. Of the foreign teachers, just under half are from the BANA countries (Britain, Australia/NZ, North America). About 30 percent are from the Philippines (including 10 Filipino music teachers). The remainder are from other European and African nations and a small number of highly English-competent Thais teach in the English-medium program. Japanese and Chinese teachers are employed to teach those languages. Further reading
