Why CMIS:

I was particularly attracted (surprise, surprise) to the emphasis placed on arts education. CMIS values the arts and supports the teaching thereof with an enthusiasm typically reserved for purely academic disciplines. In short, they take it as seriously as I do, and that's a rare thing.

Why I chose CMIS

I grew up in an international setting and had a wonderful experience. I wanted to help provide that experience for others at a school in Thailand where I grew up as a child. I liked the international aspect and the Christian focus of CMIS, which is why I chose the school. I have stayed for 20 years because I love the students and the atmosphere at CMIS, including the freedom to do the things I love and to help the students at the school have a positive educational experience.
