What parents say?

You will not regret choosing Napa Chiangmai School for your child.

The teachers are incredibly caring and create a warm, welcoming environment that feels like a second home. They treat the children as if they were their own, knowing each one by name and showing genuine concern and care. The discipline they instill can easily be practiced at home.

The school’s teaching methods focus on engaging activities across various learning units, blending academics with excellence. The equipment and teaching materials provided by the school greatly help children understand and apply what they learn in their daily lives.

Enjoy and  Enjay mother, PK class

Napa Chiangmai School takes great care of my child.

My daughter, Mesa, has been attending the school since she was 2.5 years old. The teachers have helped her develop eating habits (feeding herself), using the bathroom independently (no longer using diapers), and most importantly, she is more confident in speaking English and Thai. Initially, the foreign teachers mentioned that Mesa was quiet when they spoke to her, but now she can communicate and enjoy speaking English in her daily life. Our family is very thankful to the school for taking care of, teaching, and providing a well-rounded education, allowing her to have fun and enjoy learning. The school also provides many good activities for the children to participate in.

School focuses on each child’s learning, development and nurturing their individual talents.

We are impressed with Napa Chiang Mai School, which is why we chose it for our children. The school is clean, well-shaded, and offers ample space for children to play. The food provided is fresh, clean, and greatly enjoyed by our children.

The school administrators and teachers focus on each child’s learning and development, nurturing their individual talents. The homeroom teachers and staff are kind and caring, ensuring that the children are well looked after. Our children love attending Napa Chiang Mai School and are always happy to go.

We are deeply grateful to the school administrators and teachers for their excellent care and dedication to our children. We sincerely appreciate it.

Miss Meyada Wongsafoo

Teetime’s mother, K3 class

It’s amazing to see him communicate fluently and naturally in English at such a young age.

Aiden has been attending since Nursery, and we’ve always been impressed by the warm and caring environment. The teachers are attentive, know every child by name, and create a safe and engaging space for learning. The playground is well-maintained and allows children to enjoy their time freely. The play-based learning approach, along with various developmental activities throughout the year, makes every school day exciting for Aiden. We can truly see how happy he is at school.

One of the school’s greatest strengths is its language program. Both English and Chinese are well-integrated into the curriculum, with English being especially outstanding. The use of Phonics helps the children develop clear pronunciation, and Aiden’s daily interactions with native English-speaking teachers across different subjects have made a remarkable difference. It’s amazing to see him communicate fluently and naturally in English at such a young age.

Thank you for the wonderful work you did. We truly appreciate it.

Mr.Jiroj Phongsri

Aiden’s father, K1 class

Choosing Napa Chiangmai School was the best decision. 

Teacher care for the children like family, offering love, warmth, and comfort. As a mom, that gives me so much peace of mind. Every day, my daughter gets to learn, explore, and develop her language and academic skills through fun activities—so much so that she never finds learning boring. Instead, she enjoys every moment and grows in so many ways. 

Every day after school, she comes home excited to share all the little moments from her day. It makes us feel like her teachers aren’t just educators but a part of our extended family.

And whenever a challenge arises, the teachers never ignore it. They work closely with parents to find solutions right away, which means the world to us.
