Interview with Wah Wah, Na Na, Rynn Rynn and Sean Piamkulawanich's Family
I still vividly remember the day our first child stepped into Concordian. It was a day filled with both excitement and challenges for our family. What gave us the greatest comfort was the genuine care shown by the teachers and staff. They looked after our child so closely that it took only a short time for them to adjust to the new environment and begin their learning journey with a smile and happiness every single day.
From that day until now—almost ten years later—our four children have grown alongside the school. I have witnessed their remarkable and tangible development, not only academically but also in self-confidence, critical thinking, courage to express themselves, leadership, and the natural use of three languages. They have also learned to respect others, to be understanding, and to embrace diversity—values that are truly essential in life.
What makes us happiest as parents is seeing our four children wake up each morning with smiles and eagerness to go to school. For us, Concordian is not just a place of learning but a second home—warm, safe, and attentive to both academics and emotional well-being.
We are deeply impressed by the IB (International Baccalaureate) curriculum, which challenges and inspires children to learn through inquiry, critical thinking, and hands-on experience. It provides them with the opportunity to grow in a well-rounded way and prepares them for a world that is constantly changing. Moreover, the school continuously develops and improves—be it in curriculum, learning environment, or support systems that help students reach their full potential. Importantly, Concordian is always open to listening to parents’ feedback, making us feel like an integral part of this learning community.
Another unique quality that sets Concordian apart is that, while being an international school that exposes students to global diversity, it also preserves Thai traditions beautifully. Children are taught to be polite, respectful, humble, and considerate—values that our family holds and hopes our children will carry with them throughout their lives.
Concordian is a community built with heart. The Board of Trustees team, teachers, staff, parents, and students are all part of one family. For us, this school has given far more than just education—it has become a second home that nurtures our children to grow with confidence, self-awareness, empathy, and a strong foundation for life that they will carry with them on every step of their journey ahead.
Celebrating Our K3 Graduates: From Little Seeds to Blossoming Learners
This year’s K3 Graduation Ceremony was a joyous celebration of growth, learning, and resilience. It feels like just yesterday we held our children’s little hands at the EY gate in PK during the pandemic days, and now, they are ready to take their big steps into Primary School!
Throughout their Early Years journey, our students have learned that life is filled with beautiful patterns and cycles. Just like a butterfly’s transformation or the water cycle, their own learning adventure has been a cycle of growth. From curious seeds in PK, sprouting in K1, growing stronger in K2, and finally blossoming in K3, they are now ready to spread their wings in Grade 1.
The next five years in Primary School will be filled with discovery, confidence, and responsibility. We are excited to see our graduates grow into balanced, caring, and principled young leaders, ready to face new challenges with courage and joy.
Congratulations, Class of 2036! You carry wonders inside you, and the world is waiting for you to shine!
Ms. Ariel Wang Head of Elementary
Message from the Founding Director
Here at Concordian, we work together to nurture our children to be the best they can be, and to be the plant that is strong and able to give shade and fruit to those around them.
Dear Concordians,
Welcome back to the new academic year 2025-2026, and welcome our new members to the Concordian family!
Our Class of 2025 is already attending many wonderful universities around the world, as well as in Thailand, learning to become independent and striving for their dreams. I am so very proud of all of them! Thank you so much for being a part of my life, my dream, and my hope for a better world.
Again and again, parents of students of all ages ask me, “How can my children prepare for this new era of a fast-evolving world of AI technology?” It is becoming harder and harder to answer this question because things are changing so rapidly nowadays; many things that they want to be may not exist in the future, and yet, so many unexpected possibilities are waiting for them. However, I am not so worried for our Concordian graduates because I know that they are equipped with the skills to be lifelong learners. If they attended Concordian for PYP alone, they would have completed a minimum of 48 research projects. If they only attended for MYP, they must have completed at least 50 or more. Even if we count only the last two years in DP or regular classes, they would have still completed 20 projects.
I strongly believe that whatever our students want to achieve in their future, they will be able to find a way to achieve it. This is because, by the time they graduate from Concordian, they will
learn that all achievements come with tenacity and responsibility, and they will hold close to their hearts Concordian’s Mission: to lead and live life with dignity, integrity, and most importantly of all, compassion. They know to forgive others and themselves. They know that when they make mistakes, they can reflect, apologize, and learn from them.
When they fall, they have to learn to get up, walk on to a greater path, and give a helping hand to those who need it along the journey. This is also what we hope all of us will learn, as all of our graduates did. This is the key to success that comes with happiness, which may come at different times for each person. Our children are like all different kinds of plants; they will flower, bloom and give fruit at their own time. And here at Concordian, we work together to nurture our children to be the best they can be, and to be the plant that is strong and able to give shade and fruit to those around them.
Thank you all for your support. Please keep in mind our Mission and continue to be the greatest coaches and supporters of our community and our students. Thank you for letting Concordian be a part of your family. Have a wonderful and fantastic learning year!
Sincerely,
Varnnee Chearavanont Ross Founding Director
Dear Concordian Community,
Welcome to the new academic year! It is truly wonderful to see all our students back on campus, enjoying their learning experiences and having fun!
As we celebrate Concordian's 25th anniversary this year, we can be proud of what we have built together. Twenty-five years! That is a lot of students, teachers, and families who have made Concordian their home. Our common goal remains unchanged: to ensure our students receive the best possible education while staying true to themselves, their values, and being prepared to take on any challenges that come their way.
The world around us is constantly changing, and while it can feel quite overwhelming at times, it is our responsibility to work together, side by side with parents, to prepare this new generation for the future. In a world that often feels divided, we must teach our children something essential: how to be compassionate without being naive, how to be kind but also strong, and how to stand up for themselves and others.
Message from the Head of School
The world around us is constantly changing and it is our responsibility to work together, side by side with parents, to prepare this new generation for the future.
At Concordian, compassion is not just a value we teach, it is how we live each day. But we also know that being compassionate does not mean being weak. We teach our students to understand different perspectives, to help others, but also to set boundaries and stand firm when needed. We want them to be good people who can also navigate the real world successfully.
Through service projects, group work, and daily interactions, we help them understand that success goes even beyond academic excellence, it is also about making a positive difference in the lives of others.
As we mark 25 years, we think about all the students who have graduated from Concordian. They are out there in the world, using what they learned here to solve problems, help others, and raise their own families. This is what makes us so proudknowing we have helped shape good human beings who contribute to their communities.
Once again, welcome to the new year. We are excited about the opportunities ahead and look forward to celebrating this special anniversary year together.
I trust that you and your loved ones enjoyed a refreshing and memorable break. The start of a new school year always brings renewed energy and optimism. It is inspiring to see our students, teachers, and families return ready to embrace new opportunities.
Over the years, I have seen how our community’s compassion, commitment, and teamwork form the foundation of our success. Even in times of challenge, this shared ethos has guided us forward.
Message from the Board of Trustees
May the months ahead be filled with inspiration, achievement, and joy, strengthening the bonds that make our community extraordinary.
As the Board of Trustees, we are privileged to work in partnership with the school’s leadership, faculty, and families. Together, we will continue to build on our strong foundation to ensure an exceptional environment for our students to learn, grow, and excel.
May the months ahead be filled with inspiration, achievement, and joy, strengthening the bonds that make our community extraordinary.

Pre-K and K1 Music Concert
On the sunny mornings of June 5 and 6, 2025, our Pre-K and K1 students put on a music concert, Kids Wonderland, at the school Amphitheater.The seats were filled with smiling moms, dads, grandparents, and other members of the school community, all excited to see our youngest stars shine on stage!
The children sang cheerful songs in both English and Chinese, with big smiles and even bigger voices. Some of the songs they performed were Hide and Seek, Let’s Make Popcorn, Two Little Birds, Sesame Street, The Courage Song, Somebody Come and Play, Love You, and Let’s Star Jump.
The concert wasn’t just about singing and dancing — it was a celebration of how much these little super stars have grown this year. They showed confidence, teamwork, and joy, making everyone in the audience so proud.
A very BIG thank you to all the members of the community who made this special event possible, and whose support is beyond our expectations. Most importantly, we applaud our Pre-K and K1 stars for lighting up the stage, bringing smiles, laughter, and a little bit of magic to everyone’s day! Bravo! We are so proud of you!

Cheers,
