About international schools in Chiang Mai, Thailand
British-curriculum international schools in Chiang Mai teach in English and typically adapt the English national curriculum for an international student body, progressing through Cambridge Primary and Checkpoint, IGCSE (Years 10 - 11) and, in many cases, A-level or equivalent post-16 programmes. Most of these schools operate on a Northern-Hemisphere academic calendar with the main intake in August, while some accept mid-year transfers and have rolling or termly admissions. Annual tuition for international schools in Chiang Mai varies widely by school and year group - published figures commonly fall roughly between THB 200,000 and THB 800,000 per year, with many mid-market British options in the THB 300,000 - 500,000 band and additional charges (registration, transport, exams, activities) typically adding a further 10 - 15% to the headline fee. English is the medium of instruction, Thai is normally taught as a required subject and many schools also offer Mandarin or other modern languages; families relocating to Chiang Mai should budget for language support where English is not the child’s first language and plan applications 3 - 6 months before the August intake to secure places.
