Potisarn Pittayakorn is a coeducational school for grades 7 to 12 in Thailand. Founded by Nuan Thamutaro (นวล ธมมธโร) in 1956, Potisarn is built on Mr. and Mrs. Saiputhong's land in an area of 6 rai 440 square wah. When the school started in 1956, there was no classroom or any buildings. Students had to study in a temple. Later, Nuan Thamutaro raised funds for a school building. The result was a 2-floor wooden building that contained 12 classrooms. This building was finished in 1958. In 1982, Potisarn School got funded for a 3-floor concrete building that contained 18 classrooms. In 1983, the pool and toilet were built. Later in 1984, the elementary education department selected Potisarn School into its elementary improvement program. In this program, Potisarn's students got free books, free uniforms and free shelter. In 1986, Suankularb Wittayalai recruited Potisarn to be their sub-school. That meant any Potisarn students who met the requirements would be eligible to get into Suankalarb Wittayalai without any further exam. Now the school consists of 3 main buildings, 1 medical building and 1 football field.
