Crescent International School

Crescent International School was established in 2008 with the aim to produce multicultural students honed with talents and skills to create a happy learning environment that gives them freedom to think and choices later in life.

The initial project of the school was started under the CEF- Crescent Educational Foundation, initiated in 2008 through the collaborative efforts of a group of generous people. This group included then Ambassador of Qatar to Thailand, Mr Abadalla Al Hamar, former Deputy Prime Minister of Thailand, Mr. Wan Mohammad Noor Matha, businessmen like Mr. Fofana Djime and Mr. Aroon Denyingyoch, and a group of educators who pooled their resources together to serve the Thai community, especially the less privileged.

The school started its operation on the first quarter of the academic year of 2008 with 150 students of different nationalities and 18 dedicated and committed educators housed in a 2,000 square meter lot located in the heart of Bangkok. 13 years on, the school continues to grow in both student population and academic excellence. One of the lasting goals of the institution is to better serve the needs of our young population, irrespective of race, creed and religious orientations and beliefs.

Our guiding statements at CIS are collaboratively revised every 5 or 6 academic years in line with healthy school improvement practices. Having stood to embody the school’s principal philosophy since the school’s inception nearly 13 years ago, they continue to retain the values of CIS while including much needed upgrades at each revision. To guarantee the new statements reflect the true values and beliefs of the entire school community, and drive the best academic and social standards, the revision process is done collaboratively to include the opinions and suggestions of teachers, parents, students, and school leadership.

Our Vision

Students at CIS will be self‐directed leaders with freedom of thought and expression, and confident learners of a broad and dynamic educational program set on a diverse, multi‐cultural platform.
