Our Guiding Philosophy
Education is an organic process, not a mechanical one.
Just like natural resources, human potential lies hidden beneath the surface — waiting to be uncovered.
At KSI Academy Chiang Mai we focus on fostering self-directed learning benefits by nurturing curiosity, purpose, and creativity in our students.
Teachers act as guides, creating the right conditions for students to explore and grow in a supportive environment
Nature is freely expressive, yet deeply structured.
Inspired by this balance, our learning environment is carefully scaffolded to support creative freedom while offering the structure needed for true exploration.

Founder and Learning Architect
Sonthaya (Sandy) Chutisacha

With a Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology and over two decades of experience in education, Sonthaya brings a unique blend of insight, empathy, and innovation to the world of learning.
Since 2005, she has worked across diverse educational settings as a teacher, co-founder of a teacher training organization, and education consultant. Her approach is rooted in the belief that education is not something to be delivered, but something to be uncovered.
She envisions learning as a deeply human, creative process—one that must evolve with the world around us. Driven by this vision, she designs adaptive, future-ready learning experiences that emphasize skills, creativity, and mindset.
She continually upgrades her curriculum to meet the needs of a changing world, preparing learners not just to succeed, but to thrive with purpose and imagination.
