Ruamrudee International School (R.I.S.) is an international school located in Bangkok, Thailand. As of 2005 it has some 1,890 students, in kindergarten to grade 12. 65% of the students are Thai. Of the 43 nationalities represented, there are also large numbers of Taiwanese (6%), Indians (20%), Koreans (8%) and Americans (1%).
Academic standards are high-- the school offers APs and the IB Diploma to Juniors and Seniors. The top 10 graduating seniors usually receive admission to Ivy League schools as well as elite liberal arts colleges; scholarships are often a part of the admissions package. Many of the faculty are expatriates from the US, the UK, Canada and Australia. Foreign language courses are taught by faculty who are natives of the countries where the language is spoken. Classes are often small and teachers know students by name. Faculty also chair clubs and chaperone field trips.
The RIS uniforms follow that of a typical Catholic school- white short-sleved polos with the RIS logo embroidered on the pocket, paired with knee-length plaid skirts for girls and dark blue trousers for boys. Students are free to wear any form of footwear, including sneakers, that do not expose the toe. RIS has a strict "no untucked shirts" policy-- students are required to tuck their white polo shirts into their pants or skirts-- faculty and members of administration routinely pull aside students who violate this rule. "No uniform day" typically occurs during the last Friday of every month, presenting a prime opportunity for students to turn RIS's hallways into a fashion parade. "cultural week" occurs onces a semester and students wear their traditional costumes.
RIS IS SIMPLY THE GREATEST SCHOOL THAT WAS EVER CREATED, PERIOD. BUT HOWEVER, DUE TO SOME CHELSEA FAN, ESP, TOY, IT HAVE GAIN NO MORE STUDENTS.
