HM Message APIS

It gives me enormous pleasure to be able to send a message to you as the new Headmaster of American Pacific International School(APIS).

One of the attractions to me about APIS is the community spirit that exists at this school.  I am very much looking forward to working with students, staff, parents, the Board and the wider community in ensuring that all students reach their full potential.  An important aspect of my work is to ensure a caring, secure and safe environment for our students and staff. It is my intention to build on the best of what we do and move forward together for a world class education for all of our students. This is seen by the list of world class universities that our graduates gain entry.  This success in gaining the top universities for our students will  continued and expanded further.

The system of student care in the school underpins student success. My staff and I are all responsible for this as well as academic standards.  A quality partnership with parents the local and wider community is essential for our success.  I encourage parents and students to celebrate success and let everyone know about it.  Please contact your child’s teacher or advisor if you need to discuss specific needs. We are keen to know the individual child as well as we can so that we can provide the best possible learning experiences for them.

The four residential houses at APIS provide one of the best boarding situations to provide a caring environment for our students to live and learn.   Located on the outskirts of Chiangmai in a beautiful valley APIS is naturally a very clean and safe place to live. APIS has been successfully established as an international boarding school and has the potential to become a benchmark for quality education and boarding in the region.  

As the Headmaster it is important to value, support, serve and empathize with the people who work in my team at APIS to enable them to utilize their skills to the best of their abilities to maximize the learning of students. It is a firmly held belief of mine that the best schools are professional learning communities whereby learning for all happens; ensuring students may achieve their potential and become independent lifelong learners.

It is through our mission statement and learner profile that APIS will provide the highest standards of international education. The mutual respect, understanding and care which our students from different nationalities display towards each other is a strength of APIS students and the community. As I have mentioned at my presentations to the community; students are at the centre of what we do.  If they succeed then we succeed.  I look forward to leading the APIS community journey on a mission of continued school improvement and success.

Dear parents and friends,

On behalf of the school’s administrators and Kindergarten team, we welcome you to new school year 2010 – 2011 at American Pacific International School. It is so nice to have children’s laugh and joy back to school. In spite of some tears and stress during this first week, new students are more relaxed by the end of the day.

 Your positive support at home is appreciated to help your child to get through this first transition. Their happiness and well being at school are our priorities so please address to your child’s teacher or the administrators if you have any question or concern about your child.

 Let’s make this new school year a happy and successful one for your child!
