Academics

Curriculum
Manorom International Christian School follows the Accelerated Christian Education (A.C.E.) program, a mastery-based curriculum from the United States that integrates academic subjects with biblical principles. In the Kindergarten years, children follow a foundation program focused on early literacy, numeracy, and social skills, preparing them for formal study. Primary school (Grades 1–6) continues with A.C.E. core subjects such as Mathematics, English, Science, Social Studies, and Word Building, alongside Thai language (required by law) and physical education. Secondary school (Grades 7–9) builds on these subjects and introduces more independent learning, elective options, and additional languages such as French, Spanish, or Greek I. In High School (Grades 10–12), students work toward an American-style High School Diploma and may opt for the International Certificate of Christian Education (ICCE), depending on their pathway. Across all stages, students take part in regular assessments to ensure mastery before progressing to the next level.

Wellbeing

Social and Emotional Learning (SEL)
MICS uses A.C.E.’s character-building framework and individual goal-setting to help students develop self‑directed learning skills, responsibility, and resilience. Teachers guide students to set daily goals under supervision and support them in achieving these goals, which fosters self-awareness and self-management. Beyond academics, spiritual life initiatives—such as weekly Chapel, small groups, retreats, and mission camps—offer structured opportunities for students to reflect and grow emotionally and socially

Special Educational Needs (SEN)
The school does not publicly disclose any specific provisions, staff roles, or programs for Special Educational Needs (SEN). It does not appear to be a specialist SEN institution.

The ABCs with ACE and Christi course runs for 12–15 weeks and is designed for non-readers or children new to schooling. Speaking English with ACE and Christi offers 60 lessons focused on oral and listening skills, while the ABCs for English Learners program, lasting 30–36 weeks for ages 5–9, combines both courses to build comprehension and prepare students for Level 1 PACEs. These programs aim to equip students with the foundational English skills needed before joining the mainstream A.C.E. curriculum.
