Saint Gabriel's College ((タイ語:โรงเรียนเซนต์คาเบรียล)) is a private Catholic all boy school located in Bangkok, Thailand. The school was founded by the Brothers of Saint Gabriel in 1920 and has been regarded as one of the leading schools in Thailand. The school provides education for students from grade 1 through 12 (K–12). Admitting only approximately 400 students per year, the school entrance especially in the first grade is highly competitive. The school is famous for its high standard teaching and learning program, especially the Intensive English Program which is widely accepted throughout the country. == History == In 1918, after the First World War ended, the demand for schools and education in Bangkok sharply increased. At that time, the Brothers of Saint Gabriel had established only one school in Bangkok, the Assumption College. As a response to this increasing demand, Brother Martin de Tours proposed an idea to open a new school in Bangkok. He accepted a plot of land offered by Father Brozat of the nearby Saint Francis Xavier Church as the site for his vision. The construction began in 1920, the chief engineer being Mr. Be'quelin. The main building is designed entirely by Brother Martin de Tours himself. The construction of the building, which cost approximately 100,000 baht and was completed in February 1922. Due to the building being painted in light red, it has since been referred to as "Tuk-Daeng" ((タイ語:ตึกแดง)) (literally meaning "the red building"). In 1920, while the construction was still taking place, Brother Martin de Tours and his teaching staffs began teaching temporarily at Mr. Berli's House. There were 141 students enrolled in the first year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Saint Gabriel's College」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
