About international schools in Mongolia

British-curriculum international schools in Mongolia are a small group concentrated mainly in Ulaanbaatar that typically use the National Curriculum of England and Wales as a backbone and commonly prepare older pupils for Cambridge IGCSE and AS/A-Level (with some schools offering parallel options such as the IB Diploma). Instruction is usually delivered in English, though Mongolian language and civic studies are built into most programmes and schools commonly provide English-as-an-additional-language support. Published fee bands show a wide spread - early years places are advertised from roughly MNT 13 million a year while senior-school places at higher-fee providers can exceed MNT 70 million (fees are often published in US dollars and schools add registration, bus, meal and exam charges). Admissions generally follow a September-based school year with open days, registration and placement or English assessments, so relocating families should contact admissions several months ahead and factor in local practicalities such as severe winter weather, winter kit and common payment practices.

FAQs for Mongolia

What does a “British curriculum” school in Mongolia actually teach?
A British-curriculum school normally follows the National Curriculum of England and Wales in primary and lower secondary years and then moves to international Cambridge qualifications (IGCSEs at about age 14 - 16 and AS/A-Levels at 16 - 18); some schools also combine or offer alternatives such as the IB Diploma or vocational qualifications. Schools typically adapt the English programme to include Mongolian language and cultural studies so pupils meet local expectations as well as international standards.
What ages and qualification stages will my child pass through?
Most British-style international schools in Ulaanbaatar cover early years through to age 18, following the Early Years/Foundation stages, primary Key Stages, lower secondary and then upper secondary where pupils sit IGCSEs and progress to AS/A-Levels or an alternative upper-secondary programme. The common checkpoint ages are roughly 14 - 16 for IGCSE and 16 - 18 for AS/A-Level or IB Diploma study.
Is instruction only in English and will non-English speakers get support?
Instruction is predominantly in English at British-curriculum schools, but Mongolian language and civic subjects are usually timetabled and schools routinely provide EAL (English as an additional language) support or staged entry for pupils who need it. Inspection reports and school prospectuses note that the level and format of EAL support varies, so ask each school for details about the intensity and staffing of their EAL programme.
How much should we budget and what extra costs should we expect?
Tuition varies considerably between providers; published fee schedules for British-curriculum schools in Ulaanbaatar show early-years fees from around MNT 13 million and senior-school fees that can run well into the tens of millions (equivalent to roughly USD 8,000 - 27,000 depending on stage and school). Expect additional one-off and recurring charges such as registration/capital fees, refundable deposits, school bus, meals, winter uniform and separate exam entry fees, and confirm whether the school invoices in US dollars or Mongolian tugrik.
When should we apply and what are the usual admissions steps?
Most schools operate a September-based academic year so families relocating should start conversations with admissions several months before arrival; common steps include an open day or visit, a formal application, recent school reports and identity documents, and a placement or English assessment for new pupils. Some schools will permit remote or invigilated testing for families still overseas, but policies and waiting-lists differ so contact each school early to secure a place.
What should we look for when comparing British-curriculum schools in Ulaanbaatar?
Check the school’s curriculum pathway and external accreditations (for example Cambridge, IB authorisation or British Schools Overseas/COBIS accreditation), the scope and staffing of EAL and SEN provision, published fee schedules and what is included, and practical matters such as bussing routes, campus location relative to your housing and how the school manages winter-time activities and indoor provision. Also ask about staff turnover and pastoral care arrangements, and request recent inspection or accreditation reports to understand quality and consistency.
