Introduction:

How pleasant it would be to study in a school without rules! Seriously, this is impossible! Rules are for our protection and for the smooth running of the school. Perhaps, the most important reason is to motivate and to enhance quality learning

Parents and students, please spare a few moments of your precious time to read and to acquaint yourselves with the rules so that you can be well informed as all of us have a personal part in the running and in the success of the school.

We appreciate your reading of it.

Assistant Director (Message)

A warm welcome to Glory International School. Why are we

different from other schools? We believe in value-based education. Our

educational programs are characterized by organizing activities having

both educational and social values. We believe that value-based

education gives your children a secure sense of self, they take

responsibility for their own learning, they develop relational trust. It

encourages them to empathize with people and to deal with every-day

issues through values.

At Glory we recognize and value the importance of parental

involvement in a child’s learning. Whether you are joining us for the first

time this year or you have been with us for a number of years, we

encourage all of our families to be active members in supporting your

child’s education.

We are child-centered and believe that learning should be

pleasurable through hands-on activities. Be assured that we will do our

best to maximize your child’s learning experience!

Sincerely,

Neetu Chachy Thomas

Assistant Director

History

Glory International School was founded by a group of Christian stake holders in the year of 2008 with the expressed purpose of investing and training of the young, the country’s most precious resource. It is the utmost dream of the school to inculcate and to guide them to make the right choices that will ultimately help them form sterling characters capable of withstanding the tests of time.

We are very new, operating on the British system and are trilingual offering Thai, Chinese and English. Presently, we are small; however, we intend to grow but at the same time mindful of the fact that quality comes first before quantity. Therefore, the molding and shaping of young minds is of paramount interest to us, so that God can be glorified.

Philosophy

Quality education does not happen by accident, it involves the consent of the will (mind) and is holistic, a harmonious development of the physical, mental, social, and spiritual God and man working together

Mission

To instill and to elicit from each student their unique potential fostered by a loving family and school environment making them useful and loving world citizens.
