Sarasas Ektra School was the first bilingual school (English-Thai) to be approved and granted the first bilingual license by the Thai Government in April 1995 and is part of the Sarasas Affiliated Schools established by the Yongkamol family. The program was an innovative project aimed at fulfilling the need for a quality English program while still maintaining Thai education. It stands in between the traditional Thai school and the International school as an opportunity for Thai parents to give their child an early fluency in English while keeping Thai culture. Since 1992 the school has been undergoing significant progress in the field of education.
