“Give a child a fish and you feed them for a day, teach a child how to fish,
and you feed them for life” (Adapted Chinese proverb)
   Darasamuth English Programme, part of the Sister Servants of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, was formed during the academic year 2002/2003.  The English Programme (EP) and Mini English Programme (MEP) operate as a small “community” within the grounds of the wider school.   We currently offer KG2-P6 (EP) and P1-P3 (MEP). 
   The aim of Darasamuth EP is for its native English teachers to facilitate the student’s language acquisition.  We seek to give the students the tools to think for themselves both inside and outside of the classroom setting, whilst maintaining a holistic, child-centred approach to learning.  Subjects taught by the foreign teacher are English (phonics / grammar / literacy), Maths, Science, Social studies, Sport and other development activities.
   We also offer small group learning to students who require additional support and a school-wide structured reading scheme.
   Darsamuth EP upholds and instils Thai cultural values to its students.  Students are encouraged to display polite and acceptable behaviour, in school and at home.  EP and home-room assemblies award good example of citizenship.  Foreign teachers are ‘home-room’ teachers, which nurtures a good pastoral relationship with the students.
   The EP views parental communication as key to its success as parents are the key stakeholders to the organisation.  We have an EP PTA (Parent Teachers Association), issue monthly newsletters and run parent’s evenings.
