About international schools in Myanmar
International schools in Myanmar are concentrated in Yangon with smaller clusters in Mandalay and a few other cities, and they typically serve a mix of expatriate and local families. Most teach in English and offer internationally recognised programmes - commonly International Baccalaureate, British (Cambridge/IGCSE) and American-style curricula - sometimes combined within the same school (for example IB in the upper years). Tuition is commonly published in US dollars or Myanmar kyat and ranges from several thousand dollars a year for early years to tens of thousands for secondary places at larger, established schools; many schools also charge non-refundable deposits or capital levies. Schools generally follow a northern-hemisphere calendar (many run August - June) or publish bespoke term dates, operate rolling or cohort admissions, and require passports, vaccination records, previous school reports and entrance or language assessments, so relocating families should check places, fees and visa/permit requirements well in advance.

Admissions & timing
Sought-after schools in Myanmar run waiting lists, so apply early — ideally a term or two ahead. Most admissions involve an application, prior school reports and an assessment or interview, with entry points often tied to the school year. Each school's profile shows term dates, open days and how to enquire.
Boarding
1 of the 63 schools offer boarding — useful if you're relocating or want weekly or full boarding.
How doris stays impartial
doris lists every international school in Myanmar we can find — not only those that pay. We take no placement fees and sell no rankings or "top school" spots, so the schools above aren't ordered by who paid most. Details come from the schools' own information and public sources, and you can compare any of them side by side.
