KSJ students learning with their teacher

ICEP is an English Program authorized by the Ministry of Education for Kasintorn Saint James Chiang Mai School to teach using English as the medium of instruction. The school supplements academic content in several subjects beyond that offered in other programmes, with intensive English-medium instruction by native-speaker teachers.

ICEP students study a greater proportion of English-taught subjects than students in TEP. They also receive intensive Chinese instruction from Chinese teachers. This gives ICEP students further opportunities to develop academic knowledge and English and Chinese language skills compared with other programmes.
