About the school

Qualities and characteristics best defining the school

Unity Concord International School originated in response to the growing need of an increasing population and the requests of parents seeking to enroll their children in an American education system. This need, backed by a school which will provide the opportunity for their children to attend higher level education at University both in Thailand and abroad, is why UCIS was established.

Teaching approach of the school

UCIS believes students learn in an environment that encourages inquiry and dialogue around Common Core State Standards, that values and builds on prior knowledge and that nurtures and supports the whole child.
UCIS provides an environment where accountability, flexibility, innovation, parental choice, parent teacher involvement, and public-private partnerships can work together to provide a better future for our children. UCIS will embrace, celebrate and benefit from the ethnic, linguistic and the socioeconomic diversity of its ever-changing community by promoting family, school, and community partnerships.
