<h2>Letter from the Head of School</h2>
<p><strong>Dear CRICS Families,</strong></p> <p><strong>Dear CRICS Families,</strong></p>
<p>Welcome to a new school year at Chiang Rai International Christian School: Family Learning Community (CRICS:FLC). Whether you're returning or just joining us, I want you to know how grateful we are to have you here.</p> <p>Welcome to a new school year at Chiang Rai International Christian School: Family Learning Community (CRICS:FLC). Whether you're returning or just joining us, I want you to know how grateful we are to have you here.</p>
<p>Our school is more than just a place of academics—it’s a community shaped by shared values, faith in God, and deep care for each student. We believe learning happens best in partnership—with parents, teachers, and students walking together. And while every school year brings its challenges, we’ve seen God’s faithfulness time and time again. This gives us confidence and hope as we step into another year together.</p> <p>Our school is more than just a place of academics—it’s a community shaped by shared values, faith in God, and deep care for each student.

<h2>CRICS Legal Board &nbsp;&amp; Governing Board</h2> <h2>CRICS Legal Board &nbsp;&amp; Governing Board</h2>
<h1>Foundational Documents</h1> <p>CRICS is governed by two boards: the <strong>Legal Board</strong> and the <strong>CRICS Governing Board</strong>. The Legal Board holds ultimate legal responsibility for the school and has empowered the CRICS Governing Board to oversee governance functions that protect and promote the mission, vision, values, and Christian identity of the school.</p>
<p>The <strong>CRICS Governing Board</strong> focuses on governance, not day-to-day management. Its primary responsibilities include setting policy, stewarding the long-term vision of the school, safeguarding its spiritual and missional integrity, and supporting the Head of School through accountability, prayer, and oversight. This board works closely with the Head of School, who—together with the Educational Leadership Team (ELT)—is entrusted with the daily operations and management of the school.</p>
<p>The CRICS Governing Board operates under the school’s bylaws and the policies outlined in the CRICS Governance Handbook. Individual board members have no authority to act on behalf of the school unless specifically authorized by the full board or a designated committee. As a whole, however, the board plays a vital role in ensuring that CRICS remains sustainable, mission-driven, and faithful to its calling.</p>
