Where is EMS located?

EMS sits in beautiful Bandu, Chiangrai Province, Thailand. It is a short drive from downtown Chiangrai and an hour from the border with Myanmar (Burma). While all of Thailand boasts a quite exotic climate, Chiangrai enjoys more temperate weather than Southern Thailand.

​

How long is the EMS program?

The EMS program runs in 9-month "schools," beginning in September and ending in May.

​

What is EMS's school calendar?

EMS emphasizes studies and practical application. Our school calendar tries to emphasize these values, as well. The English Language School follows a 4-day school week (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday), allowing for one day (Wednesday) of practical missions internship and a weekend (Saturday and Sunday) of rest. Classes run in five-week increments (units).

​

What benefits do teachers receive? Are teachers paid?

Because EMS seeks to keep costs low for the missionaries that we train, we do not charge students a salary for their teachers. Thus, all of our teachers work on a volunteer basis. EMS does, however, provide member care for all our teachers.

​

What is the cost for students?

The cost for students varies according to their enrollment as a family or as a single student. For full details, please see our Tuition & Costs page.
