School Background 
Kasintorn St. Peter School was founded in 1997 with the aim of providing a high standard of education to young Thais by adopting the curriculum set by the Ministry of Education of Thailand. Kasintorn affiliate is a catholic school comprising of three branches, namely Kasintorn Wittaya, Kasintorn Academy and Kasintorn St. Peter School. Kasintorn St. Peter school offers grades Pre-K3 through G 9, employing a child centered approach as a significant strategy for our learning and teaching process. With highly qualified teachers and staff, the school guarantees a high standard of education that will cater for its students needs.  In 1998, Kasintorn St. Peter School's first year, we enrolled around 600 students to the school,in both Kindergarten and primary level. With 44 teachers and staff, Kasintorn St. Peter began its mission of providing a high standard of education to all of its students.  In 2002 to 2003, the school’s reputation spread widely across the Nonthaburi province and was quickly accepted, by parents, as a school dedicated to offering a high standard of education and "nurturing" for their children. As a result of this the number of students reached around 2,300.Meanwhile, new trends caused by globalisation such as ICT and the interdependency internationally for business co-operation, created the need for an effective means of "borderless communication", which was quickly established as “the need to communicate in a universal Language", such as the English Language, Thus, Kasintorn St. Peter School decided to establish the "English Program" for its students and used the English Language as the medium of instruction for most curriculum subject areas, except for areas concerning Thai identity, culture and security. In 2004, Kasintorn St. Peter School’s "English Program" was accredited by the Ministry of Education of Thailand.  In 2005, Kasintorn St. Peter School’s student number reached 2,900, which consisted of 2,646 students in the Thai Program and 254 students in its "English Program". In 2006, the school has 2,923 students in the Thai program and 326 students in the English program, because of the increase of English program students, the school decided to build new a 7 storey building, later name "St.Jacob" In 2008, the numbers of students reached 3,610, which consisted of 3,169 students in the Thai program and 441 students in the English program. This year, Kasintorn St. Peter has opened for the first time, Matayom 4 level (Gr.10 Thai Program) which has two curricula, these are, the Math-Science Program and the English-Math Program.
