Grace International School (GIS) was founded in Chiang Mai, Thailand, to meet a critical need in the missions community. Faithful men and women serving all over Southeast Asia and beyond were faced with returning to their home countries because of inadequate educational options for their children. GIS moved quickly to address this issue. As we pass our 20th anniversary, we currently serve as one of the largest faith-based international schools in the world—with over 500 students yearly, whose families represent over 85 member organizations and serve in 40+ countries across the globe.
GIS uses the American curriculum while integrating biblical truths into the classroom to ensure a rigorous education as well as spiritual growth. Our staff have taken a leap of faith in raising their own support to teach here. They share both their knowledge and personal life journey with Christ to students. Alongside our full-time academic program, we also offer educational support in the form of adaptive instruction and access to long distance education. Our students also have opportunities to participate in clubs, compete in sports, and get involved in community outreach.
Our vision is to see every student being equipped with a Biblical worldview to impact the world for Christ.
