How To Apply
The Application Process & Selection Criteria
Varee Chiangmai International School is selective in acceptance of its students. Selection is based on each students’ English, Mathematical and Science abilities. Students entering our International School will also be interviewed by the English Language Specialist, to determine their level of spoken English. Students are assessed according to their age and year level.
Prior to an entrance test, parents and students will be interviewed. Once the interview has been successfully completed, parents can start the admission process by completing the Application Form and paying the application fee. The International School office will arrange for an entrance test to be taken. The entrance tests are held either at the beginning of the morning or in the afternoon. For students intending to enter Early Years and Years 1 & 2, we arrange for them to go into the classroom, as part of their overall assessment.
There is a fee of 3,000THB for the entrance test which will need to be paid on the day of testing.
Acceptance Into The Programme
The School Principal will make a recommendation to the Director of Varee Chiangmai International School, who will make the final decision as to whether or not, your child will be accepted into the school.
Following a positive outcome, you will then need to complete the school forms and pay the enrolement fee. Tuition fee deadlines are one week prior to the start of each semester for new parents. Should your child join after the start of a semester, you will need to pay the balance of the semester tuition prior to starting classes.
Parents will be given a copy of the Parent’s Handbook, outlining all the policies and procedures for Varee Chiangmai International School.
