What is Charter? The CIS/WASC view
The school continues to execute its mission, effectively balancing the English National Curriculum in an international context. The school has done so in a manner that has supported its own unique identity among a very competitive marketplace of schools within Bangkok.
International Mindedness
Parents and students identified the 'importance of the 'soft skills' of intercultural acceptance as one of the beneficial outcomes that is demonstrated by a Charter graduate, who is comfortable navigating the cultural differences and nuances of a student body comprised of multiple nationalities.'

… students feel well-prepared to navigate the multicultural world that they will likely find themselves in.
International Mindedness
'Charter's commitment to intercultural learning is ongoing, embedded, and very much part of the cultural identity and mindset of the school. Conversations with leadership, teachers and students suggest that Charter identifies as an international school with an English curriculum. This identity is separate and distinct from other schools in Bangkok
