About international schools in Mongolia

Premium international schools in Mongolia are concentrated in Ulaanbaatar and typically combine English-medium international programmes with Mongolian language and civics classes so students can stay connected to local curriculum requirements. Families will commonly find the International Baccalaureate at one school and Cambridge (IGCSE/AS-level) or British/American style programmes at others, with additional language options such as Russian, Chinese or third-language choices in secondary years. Annual tuition varies widely: some private international schools charge roughly 30 - 36 million MNT a year at secondary level (several thousand US dollars), while IB Diploma places and full-continuum programmes at the International School of Ulaanbaatar are billed on a higher scale and there are often one-off registration or capital building fees; many schools accept payment in USD or MNT. The school year in Ulaanbaatar usually runs from August to June, with re-registration, seat-guarantee and payment deadlines in late spring or early summer, and parents should expect entrance testing, language screening and waiting lists for popular year groups.

FAQs for Mongolia

What international curricula are on offer in Mongolia and how do they differ?
You will most often encounter the International Baccalaureate (PYP/MYP/DP) offered as a full continuum at one long-established school, and Cambridge programmes (IGCSE and AS/A-level) or schools that use British or American standards framed around the English National Curriculum or a US model. IB emphasises a broad, inquiry-based continuum that culminates in the Diploma Programme; Cambridge focuses on subject-by-subject examinations at key stages such as IGCSE and AS/A-level; British/American models may be more modular and exam-oriented depending on the school.
How much should we budget for tuition and extra fees?
Tuition varies substantially by school and grade: some private international schools charge in the tens of millions of MNT per year (examples in published fee schedules show middle-school tuition levels around 32,000,000 MNT), while IB Diploma places at the full-continuum school are billed at a higher annual rate and schools commonly add one-off registration or capital building fees. Expect additional costs for deposits, textbooks, buses, meals and optional activities, and note that some institutions publish different rates for families with employer assistance versus private payers.
When should we apply and what is the admissions rhythm?
The academic year typically runs from August to June, with re-registration and seat-guarantee deadlines in late spring or early summer and tuition payment deadlines around June - August depending on the school’s payment plan. Admissions normally include an application form, an entrance assessment or interview and language screening; popular year groups can fill early, so starting the enquiry and application process several months ahead of your intended start date is advisable.
What languages are used for instruction and how is Mongolian language handled?
English is the main language of instruction in most international schools, especially from primary years upwards, while Mongolian language and civic studies are usually taught alongside the international programme to meet national requirements and support local identity. Many schools also offer other modern languages such as Russian, Chinese, Korean or European languages as part of the curriculum or as elective options from middle school.
What should relocating families prioritise when comparing premium international schools in Mongolia?
Look for the academic programme and accreditation that match your family’s university or curriculum goals, clear policies on language support and English-as-an-additional-language provision, transparent fee schedules (including one-off capital or registration fees), and practical matters such as location, daily transport, school calendar alignment with your plans and the school’s admissions timeline. Visit if you can, ask to see examples of recent student work and assessment outcomes, and confirm how the school supports transition and pastoral care for newly arrived students.
