FACILITIES
BUILT WITH PURPOSE
NIMS was designed and purpose built. Many different
Montessori schools in the United States, Australia, China,
Hong Kong, and Thailand were visited to ask
administrators, teachers, and founders, what they would
change, or what they would design for the perfect
classroom. All of those ideas were pulled together and
additional considerations for Chiang Mai were put into
form.
