This provides the students with the knowledge & competencies required for University and more. The Fees listed below on the Edarabia site include optional extras such as ESL. Please visit our website at www.ucis.ac.th to get more information. UCIS 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 that will provide the opportunity for their children to attend higher-level education at Universities both in Thailand and abroad, is why UCIS was established. The school was founded (2016) and opened its doors to students on August 28th, 2017, at the time only offering Pre-Kindergarten to grade 5 with an enrollment of approximately 150 students. This number climbed throughout the year to approximately 220 students by the end of the second semester. The 2018-19 school year began with the opening of a new campus on the other side of the superhighway. Pre-Kindergarten to grade 2 remained on the first campus while grades 3 to 11 migrated to the new location. The addition of grades 6-11 raised the enrollment to its current level of approximately 580 students. UCIS is split almost evenly between genders with boys outnumbering girls by a marginal 3%. The class sizes are capped at 20 per classroom grades Pk-K3, 26 for grades 1-6, and 32 in grades 7-12 to maintain the desired student-to-teacher ratio. Pre-Kindergarten to grade 6 has more students as grades 7-11 are composed entirely of new students while grades 6 and below include returning students. Our Student population consists primarily of Thai, Chinese, Korean, American, and mixed-race individuals. Thai students account for approximately 37% of the population with Chinese contributing almost 33%. This makes a total of 70% falling into one of those categories and the remaining 30% are divided between American (~4%), Korean (~5%), and various other nationality students. The other nationalities include mixed-nationality students who account for approximately 21% of the total population. Unity Concord International School is located across two campuses one on either side of the Super Highway in the Nong-Pheung sub-district of Sarapee in the city of Chiang Mai, Thailand. The school’s campuses are located in a less populated area about a twenty-minute drive South East of the Old City, which is the center of Chiang Mai city. In August 2018, all UCIS students will be located on the current Unity 2 Campus with the new ACIS school taking over the current Unity 1 Campus. The new Unity 2 campus includes an area devoted to student housing, small businesses, and various dining options. This area is known as Unity Park and was designed to provide a convenient service to parents and students alike. Being on a major thoroughfare provides good accessibility for families bringing their students to and from campus. For further information, please contact us at 053-14251719 or [email protected]. UCIS is registered with the Ministry of Education of Thailand, I.S.A.T. (The International Schools Association of Thailand), and W.A.S.C* (The Western Association of Schools and Colleges) which is an official academic body responsible for the accreditation of public and private universities, colleges, secondary and elementary schools in California, USA.

Moral values and the soft skills of empathy, communication, team-working and time management are just as important to develop the confidence that is so central to any young person’s future.

The mission of Concord University is to provide quality, liberal arts-based education to foster scholarly and creative activities and to serve the regional community. Concord University provides rigorous programs, primarily at the baccalaureate level, which prepare students to pursue various graduate studies and career options and assume leadership and professional roles in a multicultural society. In keeping with its service tradition to the region, the University will offer a limited number of carefully selected graduate degrees. While we incorporate various educational methodologies/technologies, our size and the caring dedication of our faculty, staff, and administration are the principal assurances of a quality educational opportunity at Concord University. As a learning community, Concord University is committed to furthering knowledge through professional development activities and programs, through research, and through the application, publication, and appreciation of scholarly efforts. Concord's mission is academic; however, the University's service to its state and region goes beyond the classroom. Concord University contributes to the quality of cultural and economic life in southern West Virginia through collaboration with public and private organizations and agencies and extending its support and assistance into the region it serves. Ultimately, Concord University measures its success by the fulfillment alumni find in their careers and throughout their lives.

Concord University knows that academic advising is critical to college success. We offer to advise and support that provides students with a strong foundation for building their futures. Academic Resources are also available online to assist students and faculty advising sessions during fall/spring scheduled advising and throughout the academic year. Some advising resources include program progression sheets and four-year plans that outline required courses and each program's semester progression, the academic calendar, and other items essential to successful program completion. The Interdisciplinary Studies Program at Concord University offers students the opportunity to design a course of study that meets a particular career or professional need not available in a single existing degree program. Scholars recognize that exciting career challenges cut across traditional specialties and demand expertise in more than one subject area. The BA/BS degree in Interdisciplinary Studies enables students to include four different subject areas. This is not an appropriate degree option for the student who is undecided about a major. However, it is the ideal program choice for the student with a multi-disciplinary career plan and includes professional goals that are quite specific. Students will work with a faculty committee drawn from the desired subject areas to ensure that the overall plan is coherent and that every class is appropriate. Every IDS student can benefit from the full range of expertise and talent available from the Concord University faculty. All Students must complete a minimum of 120 semester hours to receive a baccalaureate degree, regardless of their specialization field. Among these must be the minimum 39-40 semester hours prescribed in the General Education Program. General Education is an essential element in an educational process designed around student learning expectations and attaining the skills, knowledge, and attitudes. At Concord University, the General Education Program is a coherent series of courses that emphasize the everyday learning of a shared body of knowledge, the development of intellectual skills, and an appreciation of the diverse social and cultural values and institutions that make up the modern world. Through studies in these essential liberal arts and sciences, students gain a foundation for specialized studies, are equipped with the tools and skills necessary to pursue further learning, and understand the modes of inquiry and knowledge. Although General Education continues throughout the full four years, students will take most of the General Education Program in their first two years. This makes it possible to explore programs and fields of specialization. The General Education Program consists of some courses, which are absolute requirements. Others allow for academic choices. The Regents Bachelor of Arts Program is tailored to help to return students to finish their college degrees. Regents students are eligible to receive college credit for work experience, professional certifications, and military training. The department of Technology Services offers excellent teaching opportunities at Concord University– whether on-campus or at a distance. Faculty may use our IT resources to develop new methods of teaching and bring new technologies to resolve complicated teaching strategies. Our goal is to provide improved access to education at Concord University by providing courses in various non-traditional ways to meet students' needs who cannot attend regular day and evening classes and enhance the course offerings to our traditional students. Students who engage in original research gain a deeper understanding of the material and an appreciation for what it means to work in their chosen field. They also benefit from working closely with faculty members and other students as they solve problems. Students can present their work at national and regional conferences, West Virginia's Undergraduate Research Day at the Capitol, and CU's Undergraduate Research Day. Additionally, participating in undergraduate student research has become an essential part of gaining admission to graduate and professional programs. View full university
