FWE warmly congratulates Ms. Varnnee Chearavanont Ross, Founding Director and Sponsor of Concordian International School and a valued member of FWE’s Steering
Committee, on the remarkable achievements of the school she founded and has devoted herself to building over the past 25 years.
Through her long-standing vision, dedication, and leadership, Ms. Varnnee has developed Concordian into a distinctive trilingual international school that prepares students to become internationally minded future leaders through education in English, Chinese, and Thai. Her vision goes beyond academic excellence. It also emphasizes character, compassion, social responsibility, and meaningful engagement with the wider community.
One of the most inspiring aspects of Concordian’s educational approach is its commitment to helping students understand society from a young age. The school encourages students to connect with different communities, support those in need, and develop empathy, integrity, and a strong sense of responsibility toward others. This reflects Ms. Varnnee’s belief that true education should not only build knowledge and skills, but also nurture young people who are willing and able to make a positive difference in the
world.
During a recent visit to Concordian International School, Dr. Cheng Davis, President of the Forum for World Education (FWE), joined FWE Young Leaders in attending the student-led production of Beauty and the Beast Jr. The performance showcased students’ talent, confidence, teamwork, and dedication, while its charity component reflected the school’s strong commitment to service, compassion, and social responsibility.
FWE believes Concordian’s successful model of trilingual international education, character development, and social responsibility deserves broader recognition and promotion. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Ms. Varnnee and the Concordian community on their outstanding achievements.
