Ayutthaya Wittayalai School (A.Y.W., Thai: โรงเรียนอยุธยาวิทยาลัย) is a public high school in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Thailand, established in March 1905 during King Chulalongkorn's reign.
The school was first founded as Krung Kao Model School, a regional school of Monthon Krung Kao by order of Rama V, who intended to create schools across the country based on Suankularb Wittayalai School, the first royal school in Thailand, to provide education to people across regions in the newly founded nation-state.
In the early years of the school, the school had to use temple facilities behind the Chankasem Palace as learning facilities. Then later the school became more popular and proper buildings were built.
After the Siamese Revolution of 1932, Monthon Krung Kao was reorganized as Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province, and the school was renamed as Ayutthaya Wittayalai School.[1]
Pridi Banomyong, an alumni who was one of the leaders of the revolution, and later held important government position, deemed the venue of the school too small and unfit, and decided moved the school from behind Chankasem Palace to the current location. Pridi Banomyong then submitted to royal petition to King Rama VIII to funding to build the new school in the current location.[2]
