Chun Wittayakom School, located in the rural district of Chiang Mai province, is committed to enhancing students’ educational experiences and preparing them for a globalized world. Recognizing the importance of English communication skills in today’s interconnected society, the school has launched an initiative to host international volunteers as part of its language and cultural development program.
Through this program, students are given valuable opportunities to practice English in real-life situations by interacting directly with native and non-native English-speaking volunteers. These interactions help build students’ confidence in using English while also exposing them to diverse cultures and perspectives. The presence of international volunteers not only supports language learning but also encourages intercultural understanding and openness among students and the local community.
By integrating international volunteers into the classroom and extracurricular activities, Chun Wittayakom School fosters an immersive and practical learning environment—one that brings the world to its students and empowers them to grow into active global citizens.
