Prince Royal's College
The Prince Royal's College ((タイ語:โรงเรียนปรินส์รอยแยลส์วิทยาลัย)) is a private Christian school serving the education needs of over 6,000 students per year in grades kindergarten through 12th grade in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
==History==
On March 19, 1887,〔 Rev. David G. Collins, an American missionary under Daniel McGilvary's Laos Mission of the Presbyterian Church in USA, founded the "Chiengmai Boys School" which was the first boys school in Northern Thailand. Within ten years, the school had outgrown its facilities and a larger campus was needed. At that time a young missionary, Rev. Dr. William Harris, had taken over the management of the school and he searched for a suitable site. A large tract of land was found, and with their own money and some donations from friends, Rev. Dr. Harris and his wife purchased the land and moved the school.
On January 2, 1906, His Royal Highness, Crown Prince Maha Vajiravudh, came to the school and laid the cornerstone for the first classroom building. At this time His Royal Highness renamed the school The Prince Royal's College. He also gave the school his royal colors, white and blue.
Over the years that the Harrises were at the school (1895 to 1939), it continued to grow. Campus expansions were needed to teach the many students who wanted to study at the college. This was a great challenge for a small school that had little money. Rev. Dr. Harris, however, was never shy about asking for financial help from any foreigner or wealthy Thai he might meet, either in Thailand or during his travels abroad.
