KPIS International School Bangkok Community

Community Service

Community Service is an integral part of KPIS International School and our mission of developing global citizens. It is a requirement that endeavors to strengthen the student’s sense of civic engagement and compassion for others. The Community Service requirement can be done through various opportunities at school or outside of school. The work that students do contributes to improving the school, the local community, and the lives of others. These activities give students meaningful experiences and lifelong impressions.

Service-based Learning: In high school and middle school teachers include service projects within their thematic units. Students are given opportunities to make valuable contributions to communities through service projects coordinated with the school and community. Teachers serve as advisers to guide the students through project completion. Students are given structured time to think, talk, or write about their experiences with the service activity.

Students are also given opportunities to lead independent clubs throughout the academic year, to host workshops, outreach programs, awareness programs, and fundraising activities. They can attend conferences like Service, which is a platform where students and teachers from various international schools collaborate and network on community service projects throughout Thailand.
