Community Service

For Community Service there are never barriers

when love is concerned!We follow the mission statement of CIS which

harmonizes perfectly well with the IB philosophy; this is to say to develop in the young students an eager need not only for academic excellence but as well for the development of internationally minded people aware of the common humanity and of needs to build a better world of peace and harmony.

We believe that our students need to be encouraged by the outside world. So we invite them to be engaged in activities where they can be most effective by applying their unique skills, interests, and personal life experiences, so that they can enrich the community at large.

Following that path we have been presented in the outside world, local community, working actively in more than nine programs: Camillian Home, Baan Dekraeron, Baan Haeng Kwarm Wang, Prapra-daeng Home for disabled people, Thai Red Cross Rehabilitation Center, Wat Bang Plee Yai Nai School, Concordia Welfare and Education Foundation, Ark -Bangkok School House, Duangjai Nursering Home etc.

“We strongly believe that being loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” (Lao Tzu).

Our students, through service to the community, embark themselves in this unending live journey of kindness, hope and warmth.
