American Pacific International School (APIS)
American Pacific International School (APIS) is an IB World School that offers a continuum of four IB programs, including the Primary Years Programme (PYP), Middle Years Programme (MYP), Diploma Programme (DP), and Career-related Programme (CP). It is one of the two recognized IB Continuum Schools in Chiang Mai. In addition, it is also Chiang Mai’s first internationally accredited boarding school.
The main campus of APIS is located in a rural setting surrounded by rice fields, farms, small villages, and resorts. This natural setting offers students special chances to learn outside of the classroom and to spend free time in nature. Besides hours of learning inside the classroom, pupils can explore the surrounding environment and foster their sense of nature.
What makes this school become one of the best IB schools in Thailand is also its staff and teachers. Most of the teaching staff of the school mainly originate from the United States, with some from Australia, Thailand, and Canada. This offers students an excellent environment to not only master their language skills but also foster cultural diversity.
Besides, students can also take part in a wide range of co-curricular activities available at the school. There are various activities including volleyball, futsal, soccer, badminton, and even cross country. These activities allow pupils a chance to join whatever fits their interests.
