Ekamai International School of Seventh-day Adventists (formerly AES & CTC)

and later accreditation status from the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) in Burlingame, California, U.S.A. It is also accredited by the Accrediting Association of Seventh-day Adventists (AAA) in Maryland, U.S.A. The school considers its strong point to be its emphasis on good conduct, character development, and teachers’ concern for students. As a Seventh-day Adventist Christian International School, EIS places great emphasis on the role of spiritual values in the personal lives of its students. HISTORY

The school began in 1946 as the Child Training Center with four children in the first class. Classes were held in the garage of Physician Ralph Waddell on Phayathai Road. Later a classroom of bamboo and metal roof was constructed and used for two years. In 1957, the present Ekamai property was purchased despite many objections to setting up a school far from the city, out in the middle of nowhere. Here, the name of the school was changed to the Christian Training Center. How strange that must have appeared then with rice fields all around and water buffalo roaming about, compared with today’s urbanization growing on every side. Meanwhile, the school became Adventist English School (AES). In 1992, the Thai Ministry of Education granted AES international status, and the name was changed to Ekamai International School (EIS). The latest development is the school’s accreditation by WASC in 1998. BELIEFS

A celestial, created being in the perfect universe chose to oppose the divine principles and the character of love. Mankind also chose to deviate from the divine plan. As a result, humanity finds itself in a limited and degenerated condition in a world of chaos and death. Man lives in the midst of a great conflict between good and evil, between truth and error. The Creator gave Himself as the ultimate sacrifice to bring the fractured universe into harmony with the divine plan. Man can be restored to his original state only through accepting this gift of redemption provided by his Creator. VISION
