WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT GIS​

“The reason why we go to school is to learn, but at Grace it’s more than that. Here, you not only form friendships with other students but also with your teachers, and I think that’s something that’s really awesome and unique.”
David S. (Alumni Class of 2021)GIS Student
“Moving to Grace School was a great opportunity and I love my friends, teachers, sports teams, and campus. I feel immensely loved by the Grace community and know that God has sent me to Grace in order to grow in His name.”
Dokyeong K. (11th Grade)GIS Student
“I've been at Grace for a long time and I really love how welcoming and warm-hearted the community is. I love that Grace emphasizes turning to God in all aspects of your life and during times of both joy and sadness. Our community has really helped strengthen me in Christ.”
Faith D. (7th Grade)GIS Student
“I love being a student at GIS because I have so many opportunities to get involved in all kinds of activities such as traveling to other places to compete in sports, playing in school concerts for Honors Jazz Band, serving on StuCo and other clubs.”
Dianrui W. (12th grade)GIS Student
“I was lucky to have a lot of teachers who were both spiritually and academically strong. The staff are here because they want to be here. They want to see students succeed and put their all into creating an environment where parents on the mission field feel safe sending their kids to this school.”
Tyler R. (Class of 2014)GIS Student
“Four years with Grace wasn’t enough. I had teachers who really cared about me. They didn’t want to teach just academics but also about life and God. It really made a huge impact on my life.”
Camille T. (Class of 2012)GIS Student
“I’m so thankful for GIS implementing Jesus’ teaching of helping those in need as a necessity of being a Christian. Now, traveling to isolated places to spend time with people and use my blessings to bless them is second nature as it should be.”
Bethany C. (Class of 2013)GIS Student
“Grace was fantastic. I really love how Grace fosters community and how the teachers really care about our lives and want to be a part of it. Faith was taken seriously and the academics were strong—so strong that my fellow Grace friends and I felt like college wasn’t a challenge!”
Christian S. (Class of 2017)GIS Student
“When you are living abroad with a kid who has disabilities, you usually think of what you don’t have and trick yourself into thinking that things would be better if you went home. But our reality is that our daughter gets so much more at Grace than she would have gotten in the United States.”
Jasmine T.GIS Parent
We were worried about the quality of our children’s education… [But after coming to Grace], the threat of us having to leave the field because of our children’s education is gone. Because of Grace, parents can double the ministry work that they are doing. Grace isn’t making an impact just in Thailand but all around the world.”
Jacob S.GIS Parent
“Since 2001, I’ve heard about the quality of education and the family-like environment at GIS from the families of international Chrisitan workers that I worked with. We decided to move to Chiang Mai in large part because of the opportunity to have our children attend GIS. Without GIS, we would not have been able to continue ministry.”
Ryan B.GIS Parent
“We are incredibly blessed by the quality of education and the dedication of staff who are called to invest in the children of international Christian workers. It was especially hard for our son to adjust to our new life in Thailand during his first year, but his teacher was absolutely amazing.
John W.GIS Parent
The fact that not only is GIS academically strong but also mission-minded just like us makes us feel confident and at peace in sending our kids to school. Our girls love it here, and the teachers are so warm and welcoming.”
Josh K.GIS Parent
“We have been a part of the Grace Connect program for four years and it has been a real blessing. Now, I don’t have to worry about where to get the curriculum my kids are using. It takes away a lot of the stress regarding education and allows us to focus on our ministry.”
Nitho P.GIS Parent
“Working at Grace International School inspires me to improve myself to be a better image of Christ. GIS is a special workplace where I have learned how to live, love, laugh, be a light to others. It's so much fun to work here everyday!”
Aop K. (Receptionist)GIS Staff
“One of the areas I love most about Grace is our staff. Because we each love and serve Jesus, we are bonded together in such a collaborative, unifying way. The staff at Grace are some of my best friends with whom I love to work and hang out every day.”
Amy B. (Elementary Teacher)GIS Staff
“I greatly enjoy working with my students and with my fellow coworkers at Grace International School! Here, I have the amazing privilege of being able to share Bible stories and what God is doing in my life as well as pray for my students and fellow staff members!”
Cheryl K. (Elementary Teacher)GIS Staff
“Walking alongside students to help them hear Jesus' compelling invitation into life with Him for the rest of their lives? Check! Modeling and teaching students to believe God is for them and loves them more than they can possibly imagine? Check! These beautiful realities compel me to serve as the Spiritual Life Director at GIS.
Jeff K. (Spiritual Life Director)GIS Staff
"During the school year at GIS I get to work with men and women who teach academics excellently, and conduct them professionally. I also get to teach eager students who will go on to be leaders in the world influenced by a Christian worldview. It's a great place to serve!"
Mike W. (Ethics/Comparative Religions Teacher)GIS Staff
