ABOUT STS

Welcome to

Sunflower Trilingual School

Sunflower Trilingual School (STS) is a dynamic trilingual learning community in Samut Sakhon, Thailand, offering education in Thai, English, and Chinese from Grades 1 to 12. Building on our strong foundation, we are developing an International Programme that combines global best practices with the values of Thai education.

At STS, we are committed to the holistic development of every learner—physically, intellectually, emotionally, socially, and ethically. We believe that students learn best in environments that are active, inquiry-based, and language-rich, where their identities, interests, and cultural backgrounds are respected and valued.


Our goal is to develop internationally minded young people who are confident, adaptable, and prepared for a rapidly changing world. Students are supported to think critically and creatively, communicate effectively in three languages, and engage responsibly with their communities—both locally and globally.


As part of this development, Sunflower Trilingual School will begin introducing the Middle Years Programme (MYP). The MYP is part of the International Baccalaureate (IB), a well-known international approach to education. It focuses on helping students become thoughtful, caring, and confident learners. Through inquiry-based learning, students learn how to think deeply, solve problems, and connect their learning to real life.


We place the learner at the center of everything we do. Through high-quality, equitable learning opportunities, students are empowered to become reflective, independent, and lifelong learners. At the same time, we value strong partnerships between school, family, and community to support student wellbeing and success.


As part of the Sunflower Group, our identity is inspired by the sunflower—always turning toward the light. This reflects our belief that, with the right guidance and environment, every child can grow with purpose, resilience, and direction.


At STS, our responsibility is not only to educate, but to guide and challenge each learner to reach their full potential. We strive to develop principled, caring, and capable individuals who honor Thai culture while embracing international-mindedness and contributing positively to the world around them.
 

History

School History

Dr. Chin Chinsettawong has been successful in all his businesses and other ventures. He founded "Chinsettawong Foundation" to manifest his belief that a good citizen should always give back to his country as a form of gratitude.

 

The underlying objectives of the foundation covered three aspects: religion, health and social services, and education. 

 

Dr. Kwantip, School Principal, with her passion towards children, pursues Dr. Chin's fundamental mission on education. 

 

Thus, Sunflower Kindergarten was established in the year 2000 and eventually Sunflower Trilingual School in 2005.

Message from the Chairman

 

We firmly believe that to lead a successful and happy life, there are 3 important ingredients:

  1. Excellent Education

  2. High Morality

  3. Good Mental and Physical Health

The Sunflower Group, under the support of Chinsettawong Foundation has the mission to teach our students how to attain these ingredients. 

Our students will not only be good citizens who contribute to the peacefulness and prosperity of society, but also be successful and happy leaders in all professions in the future.

Our emphasis on teaching Chinese and English languages with the Ministry of Education curriculum uses the most advanced teaching methods. This will prepare our students to be successful in any profession globally.

Message from the Director

 

Welcome to Sunflower Trilingual School, the learning community where students are given the opportunity to develop their level of learning and grow to be effective citizens.

 

Under our school mission we aim to provide a nurturing environment focused on academic discipline, morality, and ethical orientation. We have designed a learning management system that supports a student-centered approach.

 

All of this has drawn us to our uniqueness that is "Trilingual Education towards ASEAN" with a strong and stable foundation and with every step together in the right direction.
