About international schools in Yangon, Myanmar

Yangon’s international schools are a small but varied sector made up of long-running institutions and newer private campuses that teach primarily in English and serve expatriate families as well as many Myanmar households. You will commonly find British (EYFS/IGCSE/A-Level or Cambridge), International Baccalaureate and American-style programmes alongside schools using Cambridge or Singapore syllabuses, with Myanmar (Burmese) classes and modern languages such as Mandarin, French, Japanese or Spanish offered as additional subjects. Published annual tuition varies widely across the city: some locally focused international schools charge in the low thousands of US dollars while premium schools commonly publish fees in the mid- to high-five-figure range (USD 20,000 - 30,000+ for older year groups), and many schools also levy one-off registration or deposit charges and extra costs for transport, uniforms and activities. Admissions practice and the academic calendar differ by school - some follow a June - March cycle while others follow an August/September start - so most schools ask for an application form, recent school reports and an entrance or English assessment; families should contact shortlisted schools early and prepare vaccination, visa/permit and previous-school documentation.

FAQs for Myanmar

Which curricula are commonly available in Yangon’s international schools?
Yangon schools typically offer a mix of curricula: British models (Early Years, Cambridge Primary, IGCSE and A-Level), International Baccalaureate programmes and American-style or Cambridge/Singapore syllabuses depending on the school. Many longer-established schools combine internationally recognised qualifications with local studies so students can move between systems if needed.
How much should I budget for tuition and additional school costs?
Published fees vary a lot by school and year group: some Yangon international schools publish annual tuition in the lower thousands of US dollars while premium international campuses commonly publish fees in the USD 20,000 - 30,000 range for older pupils; individual schools’ fee schedules also show term payment options. Beyond tuition expect non-refundable application or enrolment charges, deposits, uniform and textbook costs, school transport and extra fees for trips and activities.
When should we apply and what does the admissions process usually involve?
Apply as early as possible - many schools operate waiting lists and places in popular year groups fill months in advance; the precise timing depends on whether a school follows a June - March or an August/September academic calendar. Typical admissions requirements are a completed application, recent school reports or transcripts, proof of identity and vaccinations, and an age-appropriate placement test or English assessment; some schools also ask for references or examples of school work.
What languages are used for teaching and which additional languages are offered?
English is the medium of instruction at almost all international schools in Yangon, while Myanmar (Burmese) is commonly taught as a school subject and sometimes as a mother-tongue option. Many schools offer other modern languages such as Mandarin, Japanese, French and Spanish, and some provide English-language support (EAL) for children joining with limited English.
What should parents look for when comparing schools in Yangon?
Look first at curriculum and accreditation (does the school offer the qualification you want and is it authorised or inspected by recognised bodies), the school’s approach to English-language support and inclusion, class sizes and staff qualifications, safeguarding and health procedures, and practical matters such as transport, fee payment terms and visa-related documentation. Visiting the campus, asking to see recent inspection or accreditation reports and speaking with current parents will give a clearer picture of day-to-day life and how well the school matches your child’s needs.
