About this school
American Pacific International School (APIS) was founded in Chiang Mai in August 1997 by Kritsanant Palarit, starting with a main campus in Hang Dong that now covers Grades 1 to 12 and offers a boarding programme. APIS opened a kindergarten campus in central Chiang Mai in 2000, and as it grew, a new purpose-built Primary Campus, officially American Pacific International School (Primary) or APISP, opened in 2014 in Mae Hia.
The Primary Campus serves children from Pre-nursery through Grade 6. Teaching follows the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Programme (PYP) for ages 3 to 12, integrated with the US Common Core Standards. Learning is inquiry-based and organised around the PYP's six transdisciplinary themes, with an emphasis on student agency. APIS adopted the IB in 2009 and is an IB continuum school, so students can continue to the MYP and Diploma Programme at the main campus.
Across both campuses APIS has more than 400 IB students and over 20 nationalities. The school is accredited by WASC, is a member of ISAT and EARCOS, and offers English Language Learning and learning support services.
