Meritton British International School in Chiang Mai opened in 2018 and offers day education for children aged 2 to roughly 16 (Pre‐Nursery to Year 11). Located on the edge of Chiang Mai’s old city, the campus is surrounded by greenery and within easy reach of the city centre and nearby mountains. The school uses English as the main language, with Thai taught according to national guidelines and Mandarin for older students. It begins with the UK’s EYFS framework, then transitions to the Cambridge Primary International Curriculum, followed by Cambridge Lower Secondary, and the new IGCSE programme in Years 10–11. From 2026, the school plans to introduce Cambridge International AS & A Level. Classes remain small, with a community of around 300 pupils. Principal Gary Booth leads a team of mostly native-English qualified teachers. The school’s Values-based Education programme—Thailand’s first VbE Quality Mark awardee—combines regular values lessons, mindfulness practices, enquiry-based learning and life‑skills projects, making it a distinctive offering for families seeking character‑focused international schooling.
