<p>As a Family Learning Community, CRICS is committed to serving the servants through education in Chiang Rai. CRICS desires to assist in creating opportunities that challenge, empower, and facilitate education for families currently studying outside of the CRICS on-campus learning environment.</p>

<h2>Extended Community Services (ECS)</h2>
|
||
<p>Extended community students are welcome to connect with certain services, classes, or activities at CRICS after completing a simple application interview with the principal and paying fees appropriate for the supplies and services provided.</p>
|
||
<p>We ask ECS parents to understand that applying for ECS services ahead of time and following through with commitments of attendance for classes or events allows CRICS staff and teachers the opportunity to know what to expect when the class time or event arrives. Here are some ECS services routinely available at CRICS</p>
