About
Built around your child and the world they’ll grow up in.
Sethavidhya is a private school in Hua Hin for children from Pre-School through Primary 6, chosen for its warmth, award-winning standards, and nurturing of versatile future-ready skills.
We don't lean on a heritage story. We earn our place by what we offer next.
We are led by an internal team that constantly adapts and understands where the world is heading — future-proof skills, AI, and the global opportunities arriving in Thailand. That outlook shapes everything below.
The world your child will grow up in is changing faster than anyone can confidently predict. The World Economic Forum estimates that nearly 40% of the skills jobs rely on will change by 2030, and the abilities rising fastest in value are broad and human: analytical thinking, adaptability, creativity, and a habit of lifelong learning.
So in the early years, we don’t gamble on one. Child-development research is clear that this age is for building wide, strong foundations — language, thinking, and self-regulation that carry into the future — not for narrowing a child to a single track too soon. We keep every door open, so your child stays ready for many of them.
We teach core subjects to a high standard using Marshall Cavendish’s internationally recognized materials that pair complementarily with the Ministry of Education’s guidelines. This allows us to open up multiple future pathways for students graduating from Sethavidhya, ranging from competing in national examinations to international curricula abroad.
Sethavidhya is led by Director Pawat Anekritmongkol, whose own journey from his time at Imperial College London to building educational ventures shapes how we prepare children for the world ahead.
Admission at Sethavidhya is a genuine two-way fit. We take the time to understand your child and your family’s goals. We want to ensure that we accept students whose needs align with what our program does best and that we are confident we can help achieve those goals.
Mission
Be the school that Hua Hin families trust to nurture creative lifelong learners and enable them to have the freedom of choice in an ever-changing world.
When I look ahead to our children’s years, I see a world being reshaped by new technology, AI, and opportunities arriving in Thailand from around the world. The schools that serve children well will be the ones that prepare them for that world.
My own path took me to Imperial College London, and since then I have built ventures preparing students for leading institutions across Asia, the UK and the US. Sethavidhya brings that same outlook to Hua Hin: an English-intensive education, real language skills in Chinese and Thai, and small classes where every child is known.
Above all, we keep every door open. Your child can aim for an international high school abroad, or thrive within Thailand’s system and national examinations — without having to choose too early. Whatever path your family chooses, our job as an enabler of “choice” is to keep it open. I would be glad to show you how, in person.

Questions parents ask
What language are lessons taught in?
Lessons are English-intensive; core subjects are taught in English, with dedicated Thai and Mandarin Chinese language classes throughout the week. The balance is gentle in the early years and builds as children grow.
How big are your classes?
Deliberately small, ~20-25 students per class, so teachers know every child well.
What does a typical school day look like?
The day begins at 8:00 with our morning assembly, followed by a calm readiness activity, such as stretching or walking meditation, to help everyone settle into learning. Students then head to homeroom, where their teacher discusses exciting discoveries or world news with the class.
From there, the day flows through language classes (English, Chinese, and Thai), core subjects such as Maths and Science, and extracurricular activities. Kindergarten finishes at 14:30 and Primary at 15:30.
Do you offer after-school support and enrichment?
We offer an optional extra hour of homework support after class (until 15:30 for Kindergarten and 16:30 for Primary), so students can get help while it’s fresh in their minds. We also run after-school enrichment courses such as Robotics, Programming, and Mental Maths, designed to build long-lasting skills.
How does admission work?
It starts with a school visit. We are selective on fit and readiness rather than on price — the visit lets us get to know your child, and lets you see today’s Sethavidhya for yourself. See the Admissions page for the full process.
What are the fees?
Our fees are optimized to be discounted below most international schools. We’re glad to share our current fee schedule and any discount policies you might be eligible for when you visit.
