About this school
Windfield French International School Chiang Mai is the northern campus of Windfield International School, whose main campus is on Koh Samui. Windfield was founded through a partnership between Stéphane Salaun, director of the French School of Koh Samui, and the Yongsiri family, Bangkok entrepreneurs. The Chiang Mai school sits on Charoen Rat Road in Wat Ket, on land offered to France by the King of Thailand, and was set up with the involvement of the French Embassy.
The campus follows the official French National Education programme from Petite Section (preschool) to CM2 (end of primary), complemented by the Cambridge curriculum, so pupils typically study in French in the morning and English in the afternoon. About three-quarters of French teachers hold the CRPE or CAPES teaching qualifications. Children who do not yet speak French get immersion support through a partnership with the Alliance Française and can prepare for the DELF Prim diploma.
Students come from about nine countries. Pastoral support includes the Phare well-being programme, an on-campus nurse, counselling and learning support. Clubs, school meals, bus routes, visa help and merit scholarships are also offered.
