History
"SUANKULARB" means "rose garden" in Thai, the original school being located in the area of rose garden in the Grand Palace. The school was founded by King Rama V in 1882 and was originally established for Royal Page Lieutenants; it has always benefited from Royal patronage. Under the patronage and guidance of King Rama V the school became popular and grew quickly, changing its focus from military training to a much more broadly-based curriculum that reflected the needs of its students. As a result of increasing numbers of students the school was moved from the Grand Palace grounds in 1893 and to its present site in 1910.
In 1981 a multi-purpose building and gymnasium was built to commemorate the school's centennial. It was opened by the present King, H.M. King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX), on July 30, 1984. A great auditorium was built in 1995 and opened that year H.R.H. Princess Maha Chakri Sirintorn. The teaching of science and technology has been a central policy of the school.
