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. Book a School Visit
The admissions team will schedule a school tour, ideally with your child. This allows your family to observe the environment and ask detailed questions.
2. Attend the Tour & Meet Staff
During the visit, you’ll meet with leadership and staff members to discuss your child’s needs and the Montessori curriculum.
3. Child Observation or Assessment
Depending on your child’s age, a short classroom observation or informal assessment may be conducted to ensure CMMIS is the right fit.
4. Submit the Application Form
You will be invited to complete the official application form and submit any required documents (typically copies of passport, school reports, and immunization records).
5. Receive Offer & Confirm Enrollment
If your child is accepted, you’ll receive an offer along with instructions for confirming enrollment including payment of fees.
CMMIS does maintain a waitlist for prospective students. To be placed on the waitlist or to reserve a spot for a future term, families must pay a non-refundable deposit of THB 3,000. Applications are prioritized based on the order in which they are fully submitted. If a spot becomes available, the school will contact the next family on the list. They then have 15 working days to confirm their intention to enroll and complete the full tuition payment to secure the place.
The school does not have publicly available information on their scholarships.
Chiang Mai Montessori International School (CMMIS), founded in 2010, offers a full Montessori program for children from birth to 16 years. Located in Hang Dong, south of Chiang Mai city, the campus combines bright, open classrooms with natural spaces such as an organic kitchen garden, the “WOWS!” nature learning centre, and a FIFA‑approved football field. English is the primary language of instruction, with Thai and optional Chinese classes. Learning occurs in mixed‑age environments: 0–3 years in the Toddler Community, 3–6 years in Children’s House, 6–12 years in Elementary, and 12–16 years in Middle School, with class sizes ranging from 12 to 35 students. The school follows AMI‑certified Montessori methods. Families value its nature‑based learning, dedicated football academy, and the hands‑on Montessori approach.
