2022-23 to 2026-27: 78.6% in total, about 15.6% a year (includes market-research years).

* Years marked with an asterisk are based on market research and not directly from the school, so please reference with care.

Market research: 2023-24, BKK Kids 2024 International Schools Guide (as Chiang Mai Montessori) ↗ · 2025-26, International Schools Database (as Chiang Mai Montessori) ↗. These list tuition by school level; we spread them across today’s year groups and add this year’s compulsory charges to make an all-in figure. Estimates fill years with no figure: between two known years we assume steady growth; before the earliest known year we work back at the school’s own rate, or 5.8% a year (the median rise across Chiang Mai schools that publish older schedules). A paler top on a column marks a range (charges that vary by grade).
