About Saint John Mary International School

Saint John Mary International School PORTAL TO THE WORLD Saint John Mary International School is founded on the principles of integrity and service to others. This is where EAST MEETS EAST, AND EAST MEETS WEST. At SJMIS students grow intellectually, morally, culturally, and physically as they meet with individuals from all over Thailand and abroad. Here, students develop respect and tolerance for all others, regardless of religion, race, or class. Here, a student can grow into a whole person and gain an education that prepares them to become global citizens. Ownership and Origin of Saint John Mary International School SJMIS is owned and operated by Sang Young Mary Company. The company was founded by the late Ajarn Samai Chinapha, who is also the founder of the Saint John University of Bangkok and the Saint John School of Commerce. Ajarn Samai's clear vision for this new school was to provide a high standard, a low-cost school which would provide an excellent opportunity for Thai and foreign students to improve their academics and English skills. Constructing the school After an intense period of market research in 2001, the actual building phase started at the beginning of 2002. At first, the construction program experienced many problems. From February to September 2002 workers were unable to work because of excessively heavy rains. The result of this was that all the buildings were not finished and ready when the first students arrived. This challenge was dealt with by renting a three-story building, located just opposite the school. Three months later, however, the pioneer students and teachers could occupy the new buildings. Because of Ajarn Samai's strong determination and the great support of pioneer parents, Saint John Mary International School was born, and officially opened on August 28, 2004, with 120 students.
