Meet the Principal

Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to our new web page!

My name is Sylvain Naud, the B-Building Principal. This is my 20th year working in international schools. I come from the suburbs of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. I have a master’s degree in education and in philosophy, and almost a decade of experience as a principal. I am a caring and dedicated educator well-versed in working with both natives and non-natives. I have worked in Taiwan, China, Canada, Egypt, and now Thailand, hopefully for a long time to come. I take great pride in my work and actively involve myself in fostering a positive school climate.

A true educator must know how to inspire trust, integrity, honesty, and, confidence. Indeed, in choosing to be an educator, I make the commitment to be the best academic and ethical role model I can be. I aim to bring an open mind, a positive attitude, and high expectations each day. I believe I owe it to the community to bring consistency to my work in the hope to inspire and encourage such traits in the children as well.

Mr. Sylvain Naud

Coffee with the Principals Dates

Coffee with the Principals is a monthly meeting that is held to encourage dialogue and improve communication amongst the members of our school community and to provide opportunities for parents to contribute to the school as a whole. All parents are welcome to attend. These meetings are also held in order to support the creation of a culture that is academically rigorous, but also emotionally and socially nurturing as UCIS looks to create proficient communicators, investigative problem solvers, diligent scholars, and, ethical and honest students who are adept researchers.


Coffee with the Principals also strives to offer a structure to connect parents to the volunteer needs of the school. These opportunities are determined through committee work and a collaborative mission to continually improve the school as it strives to meet its mission and vision.


This community-based approach allows us to engage in school improvements year-round so that the students and school benefit from a rich, multicultural experience.


Together we can all accomplish the Unity Concord International School mission to prepare students for lives of purpose, service, and leadership by stimulating an intellectual, cultural, spiritual, and social learning environment, motivated by love for others.


Please join us on any of the following dates. Whether you are able to attend just one or all of them; we welcome you and thank you for investing the time to help us create, maintain, and expand the ideal learning atmosphere for the students we all love and care for.
