Chiang Mai Montessori International School (CMM) was founded in 2010 by Khru Aer, who serves as Executive Director and Licensee. The school operates as an independent Thai‑British institution with governance overseen by a Board authorised under Thailand’s Private Schools Act.
The school community engages families through a calendar of on‑campus events such as the Wai Khru ceremony, Dr. Maria Montessori’s Birthday, and Open Days with parent workshops. These gatherings foster connections among families, students, and staff within a culturally connected setting.
CMM hosts Parent–Teacher Conferences (PTC) where staff and families meet to discuss student progress and learning goals. In addition, parent representatives are elected to serve on the school’s Board of Governors, ensuring family input in decision-making. The school also offers parent workshops tied to events, such as orientation sessions and thematic sessions during Open Days. While there's no formal PTA labelled as such, parents are regularly invited to participate through structured events and governance involvement.
