Chiang Rai International Christian School

A family learning community since 1998, Chiang Rai International Christian School (CRICS) exists to serve the servant in Northern Thailand by providing quality, innovative, affordable, family-oriented, English Christian Education. For Christians around the world who want to be a part of building the Kingdom of God in Thailand, CRICS is an excellent place to serve as a teacher or to support by prayer and giving.

We are a Christian school committed to serving the children of pastors, missionaries, educators, and social welfare workers of non-profit businesses or agencies in the Chiang Rai area. Our school also invites, embraces, and serves other students whose presence provides culture, diversity, and resources that support and enrich our primary mission.

The Chiang Rai International Christian School is a resource to parents and is designed to encourage and assist the parents in fulfilling their responsibility of educating their children. Our school sees each person and family as individually created and endowed with gifts by our Creator. We seek to encourage individual talents and meet individual needs as expressed by our students and families.

Our school desires to be a catalyst for unity and cooperation between families and organizations that serve the Chiang Rai province and surrounding areas. The Chiang Rai International Christian School students set an example by working together in community service and outreach. We seek to bless the Chiang Rai community, Thailand, and the world.

Unashamedly requiring students to think and to express their thoughts. For teams and for individuals, creativity and independent thinking are indispensable.

Wholeness of Character
Helping students develop physical, spiritual and emotional health that opens the door of opportunity and allows the student the joy of finishing well.

Personal relationship with Jesus is the heartbeat of CRICS. CRICS aims to have a “Kingdom Culture” where King Jesus is exalted above all. Practically, this means CRICS follows Christ’s lead as we create opportunities for students to develop honorable character and grow in their personal relationship with the Lord. In weekly chapel our entire community, kindergarten through high school as well as teachers and staff, attend a CRICS family worship time. In these chapel times, students lead the worship band, teachers or parents or community members share on a yearly theme, Bible classes make presentations, and hearts are knit together through prayer.
