Breaking the Cycle of Poverty
HIS schools serve children from low-income families, including orphans and those vulnerable to oppression. Through scholarships and quality education, we help break generational poverty.
Sharing the Gospel
Every classroom is a mission field.
At HIS, the Gospel isn’t an add-on — it’s the foundation. Every day, students are taught by teachers who model Christ’s love in their actions, speech, and attitudes. Whether in math class or recess, the message is consistent: You are loved by God. You were created with purpose. And Jesus offers you eternal life.
- Students learn Bible stories and how they apply to their lives
- Chapel times, prayer, and Christian holidays are part of the school culture
- Teachers are disciple-makers, often building relationships that extend into students’ homes
- The curriculum presents a Christian worldview, helping students interpret their world through the lens of Scripture
“We’re not just preparing students for exams. We’re preparing them to walk with Jesus for the rest of their lives.”
In a country where Buddhism is the majority faith, HIS provides one of the few opportunities many children and families have to hear the Gospel in both word and deed.

Bible-Based Curriculum
Teaching truth, not just facts.
Through Promise Publications, HIS is pioneering a new standard for education in Thailand: government-aligned curriculum that boldly integrates biblical truth. These materials are written in Thai, for Thai students, by Christian educators who understand the cultural context.
- Social Studies and Thai Language textbooks include biblical history and moral reasoning
- English materials feature Scripture-based reading passages and vocabulary
- Science and future subjects are being developed to reflect the wonder of God’s creation
- Children’s storybooks retell biblical narratives and parables with Thai cultural relevance
This curriculum helps students not only learn what to think, but how to think — developing wisdom, compassion, and discernment in a world full of confusion.
HIS textbooks are now being used beyond the School of Promise — impacting Christian schools across Thailand.
Academic Excellence
Exceeding expectations, empowering futures.
HIS schools are not just spiritual havens — they are places of serious learning and high expectations. Students are challenged to think critically, communicate effectively, and achieve their full potential.
- Bilingual education prepares students to engage globally while staying rooted locally
- Class sizes are intentionally small (often below a 20:1 student–teacher ratio)
- Instructional time is balanced between core subjects, language acquisition, and creative expression
- Students regularly outperform national standards on assessments and continue on to higher education
- Staff participate in ongoing professional development and receive instructional support
Academic excellence at HIS isn’t about prestige — it’s about stewarding each student’s God-given talents and opening doors that would otherwise remain closed.
“We are raising thinkers, leaders, and servants — not just graduates.”
Mission Oversight Model
Protecting the vision. Guarding the Gospel.
At Hope International Schools, growth alone is not our goal — faithfulness is. We believe that the sustainability of our schools must never come at the expense of their original purpose: to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with students and families and to serve the most vulnerable with dignity and excellence.
That’s why our oversight model is built with clarity, accountability, and protection from mission drift.
A Multi-Layered Accountability Framework
Each school within the HIS network operates within a carefully structured oversight model that ensures alignment with our core values — both spiritually and operationally.
- Local School Board
Each school is governed day-to-day by a local board composed of trusted community members and Christian leaders. This ensures that decisions are culturally informed and contextually wise. - Superintendent Leadership
A superintendent is appointed to oversee daily operations, curriculum fidelity, faculty development, and student outcomes. They serve as both academic and spiritual shepherds. - HIS Executive Team (U.S.-based)
The executive team provides cross-cultural leadership, mentorship, and strategic support to the school leadership on the ground. They serve as the connecting bridge between local needs and global vision. - HIS Mission Board (U.S.)
The Mission Board holds ultimate authority and responsibility for all HIS schools. It protects the theological integrity, financial stewardship, and Gospel-rooted mission of every project. This board is comprised of spiritually mature, ministry-aligned individuals with global experience and a heart for education and discipleship.
Why This Model Matters
In many developing-world contexts, Christian schools can easily drift into secularism or lose focus on the vulnerable students they were designed to serve. Our structure guards against that.
We’ve designed our oversight model to ensure that:
- Biblical fidelity is non-negotiable
- Financial decisions reflect Gospel values
- Scholarship programs remain central
- Cultural relevance doesn’t mean spiritual compromise
- Every school remains both locally contextual and globally accountable
