List of demonstration schools in Thailand

In Thailand, many universities operate demonstration schools, also known as laboratory schools (Thai: โรงเรียนสาธิต, sathit or satit schools) as part of their teacher-training programmes. These schools provide student teachers with practice-teaching opportunities, and are also used by the universities for education research and development. The oldest dedicated teacher-training schools in Thailand are the Prasarnmit and Patumwan Demonstration Schools of Srinakharinwirot University, which opened in 1953 and 1954, respectively. Many more schools have since been created or re-purposed, and there are now sixty-four demonstration schools in the country.^[1][2][3]

The large majority of Thai demonstration schools are operated by public universities, the lone exception being the Satit Bilingual School of Rangsit University, which is private. As they are effectively departments of the universities, demonstration schools don't come under the direct authority of the Ministry of Education, and have a greater degree of freedom in their operations than most state schools. They are generally viewed as providing higher-quality education, and entry into many demonstration schools is extremely competitive.^[4][5] This list is arranged with schools operated by public universities appearing first, followed by those of Rajabhat and Rajamangala Universities, then private institutions.
