The Mahidol Wittayanusorn School Curriculum emphasizes the overall development of gifted students with specialization in science and technology, which is an essential step for higher education and expanding Thailand’s knowledge in science and technology.

Students may select preferred elective subjects matching their academic interests in order to develop and enhance each individual’s potential.
