- Chitralada School
This is a private school originally established by H.M. the King in the compound of Chitralada Palace, the Royal Residence, for the education of His children and children of Their Majesty's entourage. The school has gradually opened to the public and the number of students has increased to more than a thousand. His Majesty has relegated the supervision of the school to H.R.H. This involves the process of admission, evaluation, curriculum and extra-curricular activities, and financial support for the expansion of the school to accommodate the growing number of students.
Chitralada School is one of H.R.H. major responsibilities.
