CIJ School History

Date:

The Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus School was established in 1962, by Sisters of the Infant Jesus, to provide professional secrectarial training in English for girls who had finished their Mor 3 or Mor 6 in Thai.

In May 1963, the classes were first officially opened in a rented two-storey wooden house at 75 Soi Rong Leue, Sathorn Road, Bangkok, with about a hundred pupils. Each year the numbers have increased from to five and eight classes. The building was found inadequate for the number of students.

In 1965, the school was moved to the new two- storey concrete builing with eight classrooms in Soi Sukumvit 101, Prakanong. It was then possible to take 250 students in all. After a year in this building, the school seemed to be too cramped with the increase of student enrolment. It was necessary to have another building. In 1967, another three-storey building with ten classrooms, auditorium, school office, infirmary and bookshop were put up. Later another two-storey stucture was erected. The ground floor serves as canteen. On the upper floor there are two classrooms and two computer rooms. In due time, a new school library and the language laboratory were built.

Since then the school has continued to produce competent secretaries who are proficient in the English language and fluent in other languages such as Japanese, and Chinese.

In response to the era of Information Technology, the school provides numeracy skills and computer literacy among the graduates. Subjects such as Mathematics, Computers and English for Business Communications afford the graduates to be well- equipped in a globalized world in which critical and analytical thinking is a must.
