History
Missionaries returning to work with the Church of Christ in Thailand (CCT) after World War II established a school for their children in Chiang Mai. Classes began on June 1, 1954, with eight students. In 1958, construction was begun on the present campus for "The Chiang Mai Children's Center." As more expatriate families moved to Chiang Mai and sought an English language education for their children they, too, were accepted at the school. CMIS's first priority is serving the educational needs of missionary families, while admitting international children from a variety of backgrounds, cultures, and religious beliefs.
In 1984, representatives of the Thai Foreign Ministry and the CCT agreed that the formal establishment of an international school in Chiang Mai was a necessary step to achieving the school's legal status. Classes under the new name, "Chiang Mai International School" (CMIS) began in September 1985 for kindergarten to grade 8. High school grades were progressively added from 1992 to 1995.
