Our Mission

Based on the Bible, in partnership with parents, we teach the whole student to know and apply wisdom for the good of our world and the glory of God.

Philosophy of Education

Based on the Bible
Information changes, but wisdom endures. Such wisdom can be found in the Bible, which outlines the entire framework of human history and sets the highest moral standards for all human endeavors. As followers of Christ, all board members, administrators, and faculty believe this. Alumni of ICS will need wisdom to serve the global community with its fast-paced, ever-changing environment. Therefore, we at ICS plan, execute, and evaluate everything we are and do according to the Bible’s enduring truth.

In Partnership with Parents
Wisdom from the Bible leads us to commit ICS to honoring the integrity of the family and the authority of parents over their children. Parents bear the primary responsibility for their children’s education. Parents establish the home environment, train children, choose the school, communicate with teachers, and monitor their children’s progress. By mutual agreement, ICS serves families of the international community in and around Bangkok as a partner in education in and through the English language using mostly an American curriculum.

To Teach the Whole Student
Throughout life, but most notably during the school years, persons change and grow in each dimension: spiritual, physical, intellectual, social, and emotional. In addition, ICS acknowledges the great diversity in personality, talent, and background of each student. Above and beyond preparing students for higher education, ICS also prepares students for life-long learning by offering opportunities for exploration and achievement in each dimension and remaining attentive to needs of the whole person. Seeing themselves also as whole persons, teachers and parents play critical modeling and instructing roles, guiding students in multi-dimensional growth.

To Know and Apply Wisdom
The flood of information in our world continually increases. Global citizens must know how to recognize truth and error, sort right from wrong, and sift the important from the trivial. God has blessed each and every student with a most complex and versatile tool:  the human mind. ICS dedicates itself to equipping students to skillfully filter, sort, and apply information in and through a variety of experiences.

For the Good of Our World
Students at ICS have a unique opportunity to learn to serve others. To serve others, one must understand others. Our classrooms reflect the world’s rich diversity of ethnicity, religion, and culture. With Jesus Christ as our model of compassionate understanding, we engage our students in respectful, empathetic dialog as a means of navigating and negotiating differences. Adding to this method, hands-on helping of others equips our students to love their neighbors as themselves, in Thailand and the world at large.

And the Glory of God
With God’s glory as our ultimate goal, we delight to see his character, his love, and his wisdom reflected in and through our school community.
