Eton International School Manila utilizes the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) and International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC), operating across campuses including its primary location in the CCP Complex. Rather than traditional classroom setups, the school organizes its learning spaces into 17 specific centers aimed at different intelligence types, such as logical, musical, and bodily-kinesthetic. This aligns with their use of the Dunn & Dunn Model of International Learning Styles Network to map how each individual student learns best.
The campus features a swimming pool, a 3D science room where students interact with projected visual models, a mini-theater, and dedicated art spaces. A unique initiative is their distinction as the first 3D school in the Philippines, integrating 3D technology directly into science and mathematics instruction to help students visualize complex concepts. The school maintains small class sizes, capped at a 10:1 student-teacher ratio.

History
Eton International School was founded in 2004 by Jacqueline Marzan-Tolentino as Eton School, a mall-based playschool offering Mandarin and Nihongo to Manila families. In 2005 it received a permit from the Department of Education to operate as an international school and became a non-stock, nonprofit entity named Eton International School. By 2007 the school opened its first Manila campus and launched its Grade School, providing two-year advanced programs and an international exchange with Singapore. In 2012 Eton opened a middle school and a second campus in Quezon City. In 2014–2015 the school added a three-storey building and the first high school graduates posted strong scores in Math, Science and English, signaling ongoing growth and achievement across its programs.
Community
Two campuses serve Manila and Quezon City. The school adopted the International Primary Curriculum (IPC) and International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC) and maintains a robotics program as part of its learning ecosystem. Field trips are part of the student experience, including international field trips for learning and exposure. The Eton Hymn is a traditional school song performed at events, reflecting the school's cultural traditions.

Admissions
1. Admissions Process Step 1: Begin by completing the Admission Form and Fees Agreement (the waiver form) and submitting it with all required signatures. The document outlines the enrollment terms and confirms that you agree to the school's policies, including how fees are handled. This step starts the formal enrollment process and sets up the file for your child. Please note that this form is the starting point for enrollment and ties directly to the next steps in the process.
Step 2: Prepare and submit payments of all required fees as part of the enrollment. The school offers several payment options and specifies that payments can be made by cash, card, cheque, or other accepted methods. If a cheque is issued and bounces, you'll have 24 hours to replace it, and a penalty applies. The payment method you choose will be tied to the assessed tuition and any additional fees noted in the agreement.
Step 3: Complete the student's file with detailed information. The enrollment packet requires extensive data for the student and guardians, including the student's name, birth date, place of birth, gender, languages, religion, nationality, address, and guardian details. It also asks for the father/mother information, contact numbers, occupation, and email, as well as information about siblings and the student's previous school and its contact number. This data collection forms the core of the student's official file and is necessary before enrollment can proceed.
Step 4: Undergo the formal assessment as part of the enrollment. The Admissions document includes an “ASSESSMENT” section that records a tuition fee, a down payment, a mode of payment, and a payment scheme. While the exact amounts are not filled in the document, this step confirms how tuition and payments will be structured for your child's enrollment.
Step 5: If you place a payment, your child's slot is secured. The document states a “NON-REFUNDABLE” policy and notes that once you have paid, your child's slot is secured and books/materials will be ordered. This is intended to be fair to students on the waiting list.
Step 6: After enrollment is offered and accepted, complete the final enrollment requirements. Officially accepted students must settle tuition and all related fees, and ensure the student's file is complete. Withdrawals and refund terms are also defined in the document, including that all fees are non-refundable and non-transferable unless otherwise stated by the school policy.
Scholarships
There is no published information about scholarships in the current admissions and fees materials.
Waitlist
The enrollment documentation states that the school aims to be fair to students who are on the waiting list. This implies that some applicants are kept in a waiting pool and considered for openings as they arise. When a space becomes available, the school communicates with the parents/guardians and requires tuition and fees to be paid to secure the place. The waiting list language also indicates that the non-refundable payment policy applies to those on the waitlist who secure a slot.
