Introduction

Lanna International School Thailand started as a small homeschool setup. Over time, it developed into a full international school for students aged 2 to 18. In 2018, the school relocated to a single campus in the Hang Dong district of Chiang Mai. This allowed the school to place all age groups on one site. The student body includes children from many different countries and currently serves about 1,000 students. The school uses a British-based curriculum. Young children follow the International Early Years Curriculum (IEYC), and the primary years use Cambridge Primary and the International Primary Curriculum (IPC). Secondary students take Cambridge IGCSE exams and can continue with AS and A Levels. There is also an option to earn an American High School Certificate. The campus includes science and STEAM labs, libraries, art and music rooms, a gym, football field, swimming pool, and outdoor play and sports areas.

Admissions

Admissions
1. Book a school tour (optional but recommended)
Once your enquiry is received, the admissions team may invite you to visit the campus—either in person or online. Tours are scheduled by appointment and are a good way to become familiar with the facilities, meet staff, and ask specific questions.

2. Complete the online application form
The admissions team will provide a link to the formal application form. Parents will need to submit student details, previous school reports in English, and other requested documentation. For Early Years applicants (ages 2–5), previous school reports are not required.

3. Interview and assessment
The type and length of assessment depend on the applicant’s age:

Early Years (2–5): a play-based session with the child and a short parent interview.
Years 1–3: a short 30-minute interview and basic assessment.
Year 4 and above: a more comprehensive 3-hour session including an essay, reading comprehension, cognitive ability testing, and an interview with a principal.

4. Decision and waitlist
The school’s head, principals, and admissions team review each application considering academic performance, assessment results, interview performance, English level, and age placement. The school may contact the applicant’s previous school to check for any unresolved financial matters. Results are typically shared within 10 working days. If no space is currently available, the applicant may be placed on a waiting list.

5. Offer acceptance and submission of documents
Accepted students will receive a formal offer by email along with a tuition invoice. Parents must submit additional documentation such as passports, birth certificates, Thai ID (if applicable), and details for transport or visa support. Offers expire if not accepted within ten working days.

6. Enrollment and start of school services
Once the invoice is paid and documents submitted, the student is enrolled. The school then assists with uniforms, bus transport, and visa processes where required. The visa officer can guide families needing Non-Immigrant ED or Guardian-O visas.

Scholarships
Lanna International School offers scholarships with a focus on academic achievement, talent, and personal contribution to school life.

1. Academic and Talent Scholarships (Years 5–11)
Open to new students applying for entry into Years 5 to 11. These scholarships cover up to 60% of tuition fees. Selection is based on academic performance or demonstrated talent in areas such as arts, sports, STEM, or humanities. Applicants must also show good character and a commitment to school life. Awards are renewable annually, subject to review.

2. Sixth Form Scholarships (Years 12–13)
Available to current Lanna students entering Year 12. Scholarships are awarded in three tiers: Gold (60%), Silver (40%), and Bronze (20%). They are based on predicted IGCSE results, school involvement, and overall contribution. The scholarship continues through Year 13, pending a review during Semester 2 of Year 12.

Waitlist
Lanna International School operates a waitlist system when year-level spaces are full. Students may still go through the full admissions process, including assessment and interviews, even if a place is not immediately available. Those who meet the admissions criteria are placed on the waiting list.

If admission is not offered immediately, a retest may be scheduled in 3, 6, or 9 months depending on the applicant’s age and performance.
