in the Classroom and Doing in the Real World An exclusive collaboration bringing classroom learning to life
through real-world sustainability and innovation
Sansiri Public Company Limited and Arthit Ourairat Institution (AOI) have entered into an exclusive partnership aimed at reshaping how students learn, experience, and engage with the world beyond the classroom. The signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) at SBS International School Bangkok marks the beginning of a forward-thinking collaboration that combines Sansiri’s leadership in sustainable development with AOI’s commitment to authentic, experience-based education.
Through this partnership, Sansiri will work exclusively with AOI across all campuses—including British International School, Phuket (BISP), SBS Rangsit, SBS International School Chiangmai, and SBS International School Bangkok—to create one of the nation’s most progressive, curriculum-integrated internship frameworks. The collaboration is grounded in the belief that the most powerful learning happens when knowledge gained in the classroom connects seamlessly with its real-world application.
Students will journey through a structured progression that begins with curiosity and evolves into capability. In lower secondary, they will participate in curated field experiences at Sansiri developments to explore concepts of design, community building, and sustainability. As they move into upper secondary, they will participate in the Sansiri Open House at Siri Campus at Siri Campus, where they will learn real-world work processes through activities with Sansiri mentors on live business cases that emphasize environmental responsibility, innovation, and the human side of property development.
Throughout the program, students will capture their experiences through simple projects, photos, and short reflections—showing what they’ve learned and how it connects to their studies and personal growth. This approach helps students see the real-world value of what they learn in school while developing confidence, communication, and creative thinking skills.
“Sansiri has always believed in building more than just homes; we build communities and futures,” Mr. Uthai Uthaisangsuk, President, Sansiri Public Company Limited (SIRI) said. “This collaboration with AOI marks Sansiri’s kick-off mission with educational institutions, designed to open a real-world learning ground by providing direct, immersive experiences. This kind of practical exposure is essential to our philosophy of fostering quality living and strong communities right from the initial stages of project development. Partnering with AOI allows us to extend that philosophy into education, helping students understand how sustainable design, innovation, and empathy can shape the cities of tomorrow.”
“In parallel, we are collaborating with AOI, our partner and education expert, to host school readiness program for Sansiri families. These sessions are designed to prepare both parents and children comprehensively for the transition from home to school, ensuring this significant change is as smooth as possible. We also plan to invite students to join Sansiri’s social responsibility activities to cultivate the concept of a ‘Good Citizen,’ fostering young people to grow into responsible, civic-minded individuals with the heart to drive future societal progress.
Furthermore, we plan to expand this collaborative model to include other educational institutions in the future,” Mr. Uthai added
The AOI × Sansiri program underscores a shared philosophy: education must be both aspirational and applicable. By integrating Sansiri’s emphasis on eco-friendliness, sustainable design, and responsible innovation, students are encouraged to think critically about the relationship between people, place, and planet. The initiative also demonstrates Sansiri’s commitment to shaping socially conscious young minds who will one day influence how cities and communities evolve.
“This partnership reflects AOI’s broader vision of building meaningful collaborations with leading organizations across key industries such as hospitality, engineering, construction, fashion, and medical science,” said Dr. Apiramon Ourairat, CEO of Arthit Ourairat Institution. “Each partnership is carefully aligned with our curriculum pathways so that students not only gain knowledge in the classroom but also understand how that knowledge is applied in practice. Sansiri, as our exclusive partner in property development, represents an important part of this holistic ecosystem—helping us shape educational experiences that are relevant, forward-thinking, and deeply connected to the world beyond school.”
Sansiri and AOI will continue working closely to review and refine the program each year, ensuring it grows alongside students’ needs and becomes a part of inspiring future careers as well as the changing world of work.
As AOI continues to build bridges between education and enterprise, this partnership with Sansiri stands as a model for how schools and corporations can collaborate to prepare the next generation of thinkers, creators, and innovators; young people who are not only academically prepared but also environmentally and socially aware.
The program will launch with the first Sansiri Open House for students from AOI across all campuses, which will be held at Narasiri Phahol-Watcharapol. During this experience, students will gain vital exposure to career paths in the property business, understand work processes that integrate ESG principles from the upstream, and work on live business cases. Sansiri is committed to being a part of strengthening experience and skills to inspire future academic and career choices, along with providing continuous support.
