Montfort College (Thai: มงฟอร์ตวิทยาลัย) is a private Catholic school in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It was established on March 16, 1932.
Montfort College has 2 locations: One for primary students (grade 1-6) beside the Ping river, and one for secondary (grade 7-12) beside the SRT's Northern Line. It is widely regarded as one of the best schools in Northern Thailand.
History
The reputation of Assumption College Bangkok attracted students from Chiang Mai to study in Bangkok since 1910. Brother F. Hilaire and Brother Michael were then invited to open a school in Chiang Mai. Archbishop of Siam at the time, René-Marie-Joseph Perrot, and Father George Mirabel agreed that opening Catholic schools in Chiang Mai would help spread Christianity. Therefore, the Ursuline Sisters and the Brothers of Saint Gabriel were invited to open a School to accept both boys and girls.
The Brothers of St. Gabriel came to Chiang Mai and established Montfort Primary School in 1932 along Charoen Prathet Road on a 5-acre (20,000m2) plot of land provided by Bishop Peross from Luang Anusarn Suntorn who gave his financial support at no interest. The land was located along the Ping River, approximately 200 meters from the Sacred Heart Church. Montfort School opened its first academic year on 16 March 1932. Fr. Reunemenier was the manager, Brother Simeon Ricole the first director, Brother Ambrosio the vice-director and Brother Louis was responsible for new construction.
