American Curriculum International Schools in El Salvador

American-curriculum international schools in El Salvador are typically private, bilingual institutions concentrated in and around San Salvador that combine a US-style, college-preparatory programme with Spanish-language instruction and, in many cases, recognition from the Salvadoran Ministry of Education. Schools often offer Advanced Placement (AP) courses or dual-credit options and may deliver both an American-style diploma and the Salvadoran bachillerato or other local certification. Annual tuition at bilingual and international schools commonly sits in the low-to-mid thousands of US dollars, although long-standing international campuses can charge materially more and families should budget separately for registration, transport, meals and extracurriculars. Admissions calendars vary - some schools follow the Salvadoran February - November public year while many international campuses use an August - June rhythm - so check term dates, application windows and paperwork (transcripts, immunisation records and any visa or residency requirements) well before a move.
