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. Visit the school (in-person or virtual).
UCIS invites families to tour the campus, observe classes, explore facilities, and attend an admissions presentation. If an in-person tour isn’t feasible, an online meeting can be arranged.
2. Submit application and supporting documents.
Complete the official application form and provide required paperwork such as prior school reports, birth certificate, and health records. These are reviewed to confirm eligibility for the applied grade.
3. Complete assessment and interview.
Applicants take an entrance exam, interview, and ESL (English as an Additional Language) assessment, which carries the designated application fee. This helps with academic placement and identifying any support needs.
4. Receive decision and secure placement.
Once admission is offered, placement is confirmed upon payment of the entrance fee and book fee. The admissions team will share details on billing, including tuition deposit and optional service fees.

Unity Concord International School (UCIS), located just outside Chiang Mai along the Chiang Mai–Lampang highway, opened in August 2017. It serves students from approximately age 2 years up to Grade 12, offering an American curriculum aligned with Common Core standards and optional Advanced Placement (AP) courses. Class sizes are capped at 20 in early years, 26 in primary, and 32 in secondary to support effective teaching. The campus includes science and computer laboratories shared across grades, a fitness centre, sports courts, and swimming facilities. English is the main language of instruction, while Thai language, culture, and history are taught by a dedicated department. With around 700 students from diverse nationalities, UCIS is fully co‑educational. The school is accredited by WASC and recognized by ONESQA in Thailand. One distinguishing feature is Unity Park, a development adjoining the campus offering student‑oriented small businesses and dining options, intended to support convenience and real‑world learning.
