Mission Statement

Learning Through Diversity

PHILOSOPHY

       Nakornpayap International School is a multi-cultural setting where children are provided the opportunity to acquire an excellent education. We strive to develop in all students a quality of concern for others, open mindedness, and trust, as well as an appreciation of their own dignity as human beings.

        Not only do we stress development of the individual, but also emphasize the importance of living meaningfully and effectively in a larger world society.

        We believe that not all learning takes place in the classroom and have a strong program of extra curricular activities where students can more fully develop individual potentials along with leadership skills and self-esteem.

        Finally we believe that education is an ongoing process and encourage students to realize this so they can be prepared to meet the ever changing future challenges.
