Let the school know you're thinking of applying — they can share their prerequisites and help you through the process.
It's best to ask — circumstances can change at any time.
1. Submit a completed application form along with prior school records and documentation.
2. Attend interview and placement testing
APIS schedules assessments and/or screening based on the applicant’s age and academic history.
3. Application review
After all documentation and testing, the school reviews the file. Decisions may be accepted, deferred, or waitlisted. Parents are notified by email or letter.
5. Receive acceptance and contract
If admitted, students receive an offer letter and school contract to sign and return.
6. Finalize enrollment
Once signed documents are returned, families receive an invoice and secure the place upon payment.
There is no publicly published waitlist, however, admissions are competitive and places are limited, making early application advisable.
The school does not have publicly available information on their scholarships.
Located near Mae Hia Market in suburban Chiang Mai, APIS’s Primary Campus welcomes children aged 3 to 12 (Pre‑Nursery through Grade 6). Opened as a dedicated campus in 2014, it delivers the IB Primary Years Programme, guiding students through inquiry-based learning structured around six transdisciplinary themes, with the culminating PYP Exhibition. English is the language of instruction, and students also engage in additional languages, reflecting the school-wide language offerings. No boarding is available at this campus—local day students can access optional bus transport. Though precise class sizes and enrolment numbers aren’t published, the overall school community spans over 400 students—a diverse, co‑educational environment. Leadership at the Primary Campus is headed by Primary School Principal Stephanie Dracz with School Director Ladda A. Mahidi, providing oversight of curriculum and community engagement.
