Curriculum

Originally, PCC’s curriculum depended on The Ministry of Education but the schools' course of instruction was changed in 2010 by cooperation of Mahidol Wittayanusorn School (Public Organization), a Thailand science high school, and have used this curriculum since then.[3] The PCC’s students receive scholarships from the government for study, food, accommodation, etc.[2]

Symbols

The schools' logo is a crown cover letter “จภ.” (Jaw-Por). “จภ.” is the short version of the name of Princess Chulabhorn Walailak. The symbolic colors are blue, representing the Thai monarchy, a security-oriented, strict disciplinarian. And red-orange, which represents the traditional Thai color for Thursday, the day that Princess Chulabhorn Walailak was born (4 July 1957).

The symbolic tree is Spathodea (Thai: แคแสด). This tree has orange-red flowers that represent the symbolic color of the schools.

The school’s quote is “Moral lead academic matter”. It shows that the PCC’s students have moral principle to bring their knowledge to use.
