About international schools in North Macedonia

IB schools in North Macedonia are few and mostly concentrated in Skopje, where a mix of private and some state schools offer one or more IB programmes rather than a large national network. Families will typically find the IB Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma Programmes in the city, with several schools offering a full PYP - MYP - DP continuum and others offering the DP only; English is the common language of instruction but Macedonian and other mother-tongue options are often available. Published annual tuition varies a lot between providers - from lower four-figure euro levels at smaller or recently-founded schools to mid-five-figure levels at the largest international K - 12 provider - and many schools operate two fee bands (local citizens vs international or employer-funded families). Admissions follow a conventional school year rhythm with a September intake, standard application and enrolment fees and non-refundable deposits, and parents relocating to Skopje should budget also for extras such as IB exam fees, transport and school materials when planning a move.

FAQs for North Macedonia

How many IB schools are there in North Macedonia and where are they located?
There are only a small number of IB World Schools in North Macedonia and most are in the capital, Skopje, rather than dispersed across the country. The national IB directory lists a handful of schools authorised to teach PYP, MYP and/or DP, alongside a couple of state schools running IB at particular stages.
Which IB programmes are commonly offered and can a child follow the full IB continuum here?
Parents can find the full IB continuum (Primary Years, Middle Years and Diploma) at some Skopje schools, while other institutions offer only the Diploma Programme for upper secondary students. If a continuous PYP→MYP→DP pathway is important, check each school’s IB authorisations because not every local provider is an IB Continuum school.
What languages are lessons taught in and is support for mother tongue or local language available?
English is the primary language of instruction in most international IB providers in North Macedonia, but many schools also teach Macedonian and offer additional modern languages or mother-tongue support. State schools running IB strands may deliver parts of the curriculum in Macedonian or other local languages, so confirm language options and language-support services during admissions.
How much does attendance typically cost and are there different fee bands for locals and internationals?
Published fees vary widely: smaller or newer international schools publish annual tuition in the low thousands of euros, IB secondary-only providers often publish mid-range DP fees, and the largest international K - 12 school publishes international tuition in the mid-five-figure euro range; several schools operate separate reduced rates for Macedonian citizens and higher rates for international or employer-funded families. Expect to encounter application/enrolment fees, non-refundable deposits and additional charges for IB exams, books, meals and transport.
When should we apply and what is the usual admissions rhythm for IB schools here?
Most schools follow a September intake aligned with the national school year, so many families apply in the spring and secure places with an enrolment deposit well before term starts; however, individual schools accept applications year-round subject to availability. For IB Diploma entry (Grades 11 - 12) expect extra academic and language checks and earlier confirmation deadlines at some providers, so contact admissions as soon as you know your moving dates.
What should relocating parents look for when choosing an IB school in North Macedonia?
Look for the specific IB authorisations your child needs (PYP, MYP, DP), published fee schedules and refund/deposit terms, the language and level of English-language support, and evidence of university/career guidance for DP students. Also check practical details such as transport, school hours, additional costs (IB exam fees and enrichment) and whether the school separates fee bands for local versus international families.
