Introduction:
How pleasant it would be to study in a school

without rules! Seriously, this is impossible! Rules
are for our protection and for the smooth running
of the school. Perhaps, the most important reason
is to motivate and to enhance quality learning
Parents and students, please spare a few
moments of your precious time to read and to
acquaint yourselves with the rules so that you can
be well informed as all of us have a personal part
in the running and in the success of the school.
We appreciate your reading of it.

Bra thet thai ruan lueard nuea chart chuea thai
Ben bra cha rat pha-thai khong thai took suan

English Translation
Thailand is the unity of Thai blood and body.
The whole country belongs to the Thai people, mataining thus
far for the Thai.
All thais intend to unite together.
Thais love peace but do not fear to fight.
They will never let anyone threaten their independence.
They will sacrifice every drop of their blood to contribute to the nation,
will serve their country with pride and prestige full of victory.
Chai Yo. (Cheers).

A warm welcome to Glory International School. Why are we
different from other schools? We believe in value-based education. Our
educational programs are characterized by organizing activities having
both educational and social values. We believe that value-based
education gives your children a secure sense of self, they take
responsibility for their own learning, they develop relational trust. It
encourages them to empathize with people and to deal with every-day
issues through values.
At Glory we recognize and value the importance of parental
involvement in a childs learning. Whether you are joining us for the first
time this year or you have been with us for a number of years, we
encourage all of our families to be active members in supporting your
childs education.
We are child-centered and believe that learning should be
pleasurable through hands-on activities. Be assured that we will do our
best to maximize your childs learning experience!

History
Glory International School was founded by a group of
Christian stake holders in the year of 2008 with the expressed
purpose of investing and training of the young, the countrys
most precious resource. It is the utmost dream of the school to
inculcate and to guide them to make the right choices that will
ultimately help them form sterling characters capable of
withstanding the tests of time.
We are very new, operating on the British system and are
trilingual offering Thai, Chinese and English. Presently, we are
small; however, we intend to grow but at the same time mindful
of the fact that quality comes first before quantity. Therefore,
the molding and shaping of young minds is of paramount
interest to us, so that God can be glorified.
Philosophy
Quality education does not happen by accident, it involves
the consent of the will (mind) and is holistic, a harmonious
development of the physical, mental, social, and spiritual God
and man working together
