Lanna Community Service
Earlier this year LCS visited the Northern Blind Children School where they were shown a machine that changes reading books into books made using Braille (raised 'bumps'). After their visit they made a children’s story book which was given to the centre to be converted into a Braille book. This year LCS launched an ‘English Campaign’ at LIST to make students aware of the need and importance of immersing in English. This campaign was important as many students are in the process of making applications for tertiary studies. LCS was also seen at the FERC (Funding of the Education of Rural Children) Annual Gala on the 17th of February at the Sofitel Hotel. They were selling raffle tickets on behalf of the organisation and sold many tickets to the patrons of this event. Lanna Community Service finished the year in the giving spirit by giving away their last remaining money. It was given to the Mae Chaem Tribal Youth Centre, and the Thai Freedom House Project. Both of these organizations were in desperate need of funds. The Thai Freedom House has used their money to hire a Thai teacher to teach them, as most of the students come from impoverished hill tribe communities. The Mae Chaem Tribal Youth Centre purchased furniture and equipment for their centre. The work of the Lanna Community Service this year has been exceptional. Ms Joy and her students deserve to be congratulated for being wonderful ambassadors for the school by reaching out into the community around us. Thank you all.

What They Say
 |
My 12 year old daughter has been going to Lanna International School since she was 3. She enjoys going to school each day, is getting a first class education and loves the family environment of the school. I like the small class sizes and the robust British-based curriculum. However, I think Lanna’s greatest asset is its dedicated, caring, teachers. I believe that Lanna is now the best international school in Chiang Mai; in many different ways. |

Lanna has a very balanced energy. The focus here is not only on academics; it has a more holistic outlook. Teachers see the individual in each student and help them develop in their own ways. At the same time Lanna is like a family and the students know each other across the grades. The teachers and staff are caring, open-minded and approachable for both students and parents, and they go out of their way to accommodate our needs. We feel our daughter is in very good hands. |

Lanna has been my only school since I was 2 years old and frankly I would not have wanted to go to any other school. This really is a special school and all its students should be thankful to be here. |

LIST helped me to overcome my difficulties and never gave up on me. It has a great atmosphere and I would highly recommend this school to anyone. |
| LinKyi (Class of 2010 Graduate) | |
|
It was a very small school when I first joined it 13 years ago – I have seen it grow in so many ways but still maintaining its caring and supportive teachers who helped me get to where I am today. |
| Ken (Class of 2010 Valedictorian) | |
|
It is a school which really looks after all of its students. |
| John (Class of 2009 Graduate) | |
|
Lanna taught me how to learn, how to self-study, to develop presentation skills, to be more confident in expressing my opinions and thoughts, to always search for meaning in every academic subject and even social activity; to find a place for myself in this complex world and something I could do to make my life meaningful. |
| Ann (Class of 2009 Valedictorian) | |
|
It is the best school in Chiang Mai – the staff are so supportive and back me up in all I do. |
| Malie (Class of 2008 Graduate) | |
|
Some schools have great infrastructure but there is no atmosphere; LIST has a great atmosphere in which all students are treated as individuals and encouraged to express themselves and develop their individual talents. |
