RIS Ruamrudee International School

MS Choir & Band Spring Concert – “Out of the Ordinary: Sound & Story” ✨

Middle School students performed pieces inspired by Laufey, Sabrina Carpenter, Phantom of the Opera, and more. Choir students also shared performances of “Ordinary,” “Sing,” and the RIS ‘Heart Song. ‘🎺🎤 The final concert of the school year was filled with great music and wonderful energy.

Congratulations to our RIS Religion students on receiving the Sacraments of First Holy Communion and Confirmation.

Held at St. Thomas Aquinas Church on the RIS campus, this meaningful Eucharistic Celebration brought together students, families, Redemptorist Fathers, Sisters, catechists, faculty, and members of the RIS community in a shared celebration of faith and spiritual growth. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Bishop Paul Trairong Multree for presiding over this special Mass and blessing our students on this important milestone in their faith journey.

As part of the RIS Religion program, students are encouraged not only to deepen their understanding of Christian teachings, but also to grow in compassion, respect, service, and moral character within a caring community grounded in Catholic values.

May the Holy Spirit continue to guide and inspire all of our students as they continue their journey of faith.

Today is RIS Ruamrudee Foundation Day—May 17. 🌠 Happy 69th Birthday, RIS!

The RIS community gathered on Friday for a special all-school Foundation Day assembly celebrating nearly seven decades of history, faith, learning, and community spirit. Founded in 1957 behind Holy Redeemer Church in Soi Ruamrudee, RIS has grown from four wooden classrooms into a multi-campus educational family that continues to shape generations of students both in Thailand and around the world.

This year’s celebration also reflected the truly multi-generational spirit of RIS, with alumni, alumni parents, faculty, staff, students, and school leaders coming together to honor the school’s journey “Ad Astra” — “to the stars.” As RIS approaches its milestone 70th anniversary next year, Foundation Day remains a meaningful reminder of the people, values, and traditions that continue to define the RIS community today.

The Mini-Makers Art Exhibition showcased the creativity and artistic talents of our RIS elementary school students through a variety of mixed-media projects and imaginative themes. From colorful cityscapes and playful paper creations to Moana-inspired ocean paintings, hot air balloons, and decorative plate designs, our young learners filled the exhibition with imagination, color, and creativity. 🌈🖌️🎨✨

🎓✨ A special evening for our RIS Residence seniors as they step into exams and move closer to graduation. Surrounded by encouragement, heartfelt letters from teachers and friends, and sweet treats, it was a moment to celebrate how far they’ve come. 💛

🧠✨ The Middle School Knowledge Bowl showcased the teamwork and subject mastery of our house teams across Math, Science, Language Arts, Social Studies, and Electives.
Congratulations to the Black Bears for taking the win! 👏

🎼 “Journeys in Sound” 🎶 — The High School Band Concert was an afternoon of lively music featuring the school orchestra, jazz band, and full band.

The concert took the audience on an international musical journey through cinematic favorites like “Spirited Away,” timeless jazz pieces including “Just the Two of Us” and “Take the ‘A’ Train,” and ended on a high note with a crowd favorite, “March Chaopraya.” 🎷🎺

At this year’s TEDxYouth event at RIS, students explored the theme “Poke the Bear” through bold, personal, and thought-provoking talks. From questioning expectations to redefining success, each speaker shared moments where courage, curiosity, and conviction led them to challenge the norm—and grow because of it.

👏 Congratulations to all our speakers—and massive kudos to the RIS TEDxYouth organizing committee for bringing it all to life! Special thanks once again to Mr. Trenton Mendelson for his continued support and guidance.
