Campus & Facilities
A purpose-built campus designed for learning, creativity and wellbeing in the heart of Chiang Mai.
One Campus, One Community
Our Campus
BCIS is a single-campus school serving students from Early Years through Secondary. Our purpose-built facilities include dedicated spaces for every age group — from Pre-Nursery to Year 11.
The campus is equipped with science and art labs, performing arts studios, a library, sports facilities, a swimming pool and dedicated outdoor learning areas.
Classrooms
Our classrooms are bright, air-conditioned and purpose-built for learning. Each room features interactive whiteboards, age-appropriate furniture and flexible layouts that support both focused individual work and collaborative group activities.
- Interactive whiteboards and digital displays in every room
- Air-conditioned with natural lighting throughout
- Flexible seating for individual, pair and group work
- Dedicated reading corners and resource areas in primary rooms
- Specialist subject rooms for secondary classes
Campus note: Purpose-built classrooms across Early Years, Primary and Secondary — thoughtfully arranged by age group.
Science Laboratories
Science at BCIS follows the Cambridge Pathway, which teaches children to think and work like scientists from their first years in school. In our laboratory, pupils study biology, chemistry, physics, and Earth and space through hands-on practical work: planning investigations, making careful observations and explaining what they find. Each year builds on the last, so by Cambridge IGCSE students are confident with the practical work their courses expect.
- Lab benches with sinks and gas taps for practical work
- Safety equipment including a fume cupboard, goggles and lab coats
- Microscopes, digital sensors and data-logging equipment
- Practical enquiry at every stage, through Cambridge's "Thinking and Working Scientifically" strand
- Science taught from Cambridge Primary through Lower Secondary to IGCSE
Campus note: Our laboratory serves both primary and secondary science, with the more advanced practical work saved for secondary students preparing for Cambridge IGCSE.
Library & Media Centre
Our library is the heart of the school — a welcoming space where students come to read, research and explore. It houses an extensive collection in English and Thai, alongside digital resources and comfortable reading areas.
- Thousands of titles in English and Thai across all reading levels
- Digital catalogue and online research databases
- Comfortable reading nooks and quiet study areas
- Regular author visits and reading events
- Library lessons integrated into the weekly timetable
Campus note: Our library serves every age group, with collections tailored from Early Years through Secondary.
Swimming Pool
Our on-campus 25-metre swimming pool is a cornerstone of physical education at BCIS. Weekly swimming lessons are part of the timetable for all year groups, taught by qualified instructors who develop water confidence, stroke technique and water safety skills from Early Years through Secondary.
- 25-metre pool with dedicated lanes for coaching and practice
- Weekly timetabled swimming lessons for every year group
- Qualified swimming instructors with lifeguard certifications
- Progressive programme from water confidence to competitive strokes

Campus note: Swimming is compulsory and forms part of the PE curriculum across all key stages.
Football Pitch & Sports Fields
BCIS opened a brand-new full-size football pitch in 2024, providing a professional-standard playing surface for PE lessons, training and competitive fixtures. The pitch is home to the BCIS Falcons — our school football teams who compete in tournaments across Chiang Mai and Northern Thailand.
- Full-size grass football pitch opened in 2024 at Sports Day

Indoor Sports Hall
Our multi-purpose indoor sports hall provides a climate-controlled environment for PE lessons, team training and competitive fixtures year-round — essential during Chiang Mai's hot season and rainy months. The hall hosts basketball, badminton, volleyball, futsal and gymnastics, as well as whole-school assemblies and events such as Sports Day ceremonies.
- Full-size indoor court with markings for basketball, badminton and futsal
- Sprung wooden floor designed to reduce impact and support safe play
- Basketball hoops and badminton nets with quick-change setup

Technology Resources
Technology is woven into learning at BCIS, not taught in isolation. Our students use devices, software and digital tools as part of everyday lessons — developing the digital literacy and computing skills they need for the modern world.
- Dedicated ICT suite with desktop computers
- Class sets of tablets and laptops for flexible use
- Coding and robotics kits for STEM enrichment
- High-speed Wi-Fi across the campus

Creative Arts Spaces
Creativity is celebrated at BCIS. Our art studios and dedicated music room give pupils the space to make, perform and enjoy art and music. Music follows Cambridge Primary and Cambridge Lower Secondary Music, so pupils learn as performers, composers and listeners: singing, playing instruments and exploring music from different cultures, times and places. The music room's tiered seating means every class can perform to an audience.
- Purpose-built art studios with materials for painting, sculpture and textiles
- A dedicated music room with tiered seating in the round
- Instruments including keyboards, ukuleles, guitars and percussion
- Exhibition areas to display pupils' artwork throughout the school
- Termly concerts, art shows and drama productions
Campus note: Specialist art and music teachers teach from Early Years through Secondary, following the Cambridge Pathway.
