Americana Chinese International School (ACIS), founded in 2019, is located in Nong-Pheung, Saraphi, Chiang Mai. The school offers a U.S.-based curriculum (AERO Common Core Plus Standards) for students from Pre-K to Grade 12. Classes are taught in English, with daily Chinese and Thai lessons integrated into the curriculum to promote multilingual proficiency. ACIS emphasizes project-based learning and STREAM—combining science, technology, robotics, engineering, arts, and mathematics—providing hands-on learning experiences. Class sizes are kept small, capped at 20 students for Pre-K–K3, 26 for Grades 1–6, and 32 for Grades 7–12, ensuring more individual attention.
