Mandarin–English Immersion Programme

The CIST Mandarin–English Immersion Programme offers families the option to enrol their child, from PreK4 to G1, in a dynamic bilingual learning environment designed to strengthen both English and Mandarin language development. 

Each immersion class features a carefully structured teaching team consisting of:

  • One English-speaking Homeroom Teacher
  • One Mandarin-speaking Homeroom Teacher
  • One Learning Support Assistant (LSA)

This collaborative model ensures a balanced, engaging, and meaningful exposure to both languages throughout the school day. Students receive instruction, conversation practice, and guided learning experiences in English and Mandarin, supporting strong academic, social, and communication growth in both languages.

In addition to immersion learning, students also participate in daily Thai lessons and a full range of specialist classes, providing a well-rounded and culturally rich educational experience.

The Mandarin–English Immersion Programme is available as an optional add-on for families at an additional 350 THB per day.
