In brief
Chiang Mai's only French-curriculum school, a small, new campus on Charoen Rat Road run as a sister site to Windfield Koh Samui. AEFE-accredited and trilingual in French, English and Thai.
The Chiang Mai campus opened in 2024 as an extension of the Koh Samui school founded by Stéphane Salaun and the Yongsiri family. One of only four AEFE-accredited schools in Thailand, following the official French national programme. Currently kindergarten through Grade 6, with plans to grow.
Five native French teachers, all with Master's degrees, alongside English and Thai language staff. Students from around nine nationalities so far, mostly French expat and mixed-French families. New building, semi-indoor pool, modern classrooms.
Best fit for French-speaking families who want continuity with the French education system, or trilingual families committed to French as a primary academic language. Too new and too small to suit families looking for a deep extracurricular bench or an established secondary pathway.
