Grace (GIS) is an amazing school for missionary children in Northern Thailand that was set up in 2004 by a group of parents who wanted to keep missionaries on the field.
They recognised a need for a good, affordable education for missionary children, that would enable their parents to stay serving in Asia, to support and care for their children, third culture kids with different needs. Grace is more than a school, to many it is family.
Grief and loss
Many of the children have experienced grief and loss in their lives, leaving family and friends, their own culture, familiarity and comfort, to be in Thailand where their parents are in ministry. One of the main reasons that missionaries will return home from the mission field is because of their children’s education, but having Grace enables them to be confident that their children are being well educated and cared for.
