About international schools in Philippines

IB international schools across the Philippines commonly deliver the Primary Years (PYP), Middle Years (MYP) and Diploma Programmes (DP), with the Diploma Programme offered by the largest share of IB-authorised schools in the country. Instruction is usually in English, while schools typically offer Filipino/Tagalog and additional modern-language options (Mandarin is frequently available at schools with Chinese-language sections). Annual tuition varies widely by city and school: Manila’s international schools commonly sit in the mid-to-high fee band but a few schools charge substantially more for senior years and extensive facilities. Admissions are a mix of rolling and fixed intakes, and although private and international schools may set their own calendar, most international-school intakes fall between June and August so families should apply early, request published calendars and ask about waiting lists and any documentation or residency conditions.

FAQs for Philippines

Which IB programmes should I expect my child to find in the Philippines and how do they differ?
Most IB international schools in the Philippines offer the three core programmes: PYP for early years and primary, MYP for middle years, and DP for the final two pre-university years; a smaller number offer the Career-related Programme. The PYP focuses on inquiry-based learning and transdisciplinary themes, the MYP provides a broader subject curriculum with personal project work, and the DP is a two-year, exam-based diploma designed to prepare students for university study.
What language(s) will my child be taught in and how are additional languages handled?
English is the predominant language of instruction at IB international schools in the Philippines, especially for core academic subjects. Schools typically include Filipino/Tagalog and offer modern language options such as Mandarin or Spanish as part of the curriculum or as extracurricular language classes, and many also provide additional language support for learners joining from non-English backgrounds.
How much do IB international schools in the Philippines cost a year?
Tuition varies considerably by school and location: fee guides for Manila show a broad spectrum from lower-band international schools to mid-range averages and some premium annual tuition points that are much higher, and published fees for individual schools (for example large international schools) can run into the tens of thousands of US dollars for older year levels. Factors that affect price include grade level, campus facilities, English language support and extra curricular provision, so compare published fee schedules and ask each school about extras such as registration, transport, meals and learning-support charges.
When should we apply and what documents do schools typically ask for?
Apply as early as possible because popular year groups can have waiting lists; many international schools accept applications several months in advance and some operate rolling admissions if spaces are available. Common application requirements include recent school reports, birth certificate and passport copies, immunisation and health records, and sometimes teacher or counsellor references and an entrance interview or assessment.
What practical things should relocating families check when comparing IB schools in the Philippines?
Ask for the school’s IB authorisation status for the specific programme(s) you need, the published academic calendar and intake deadlines, sample timetables for your child’s age group, and clear fee schedules including one-off charges and optional extras. Also check language-support provision, class sizes, university guidance for DP students, and the school’s policy on mid-year entries and waiting lists to understand how disruptive a move might be for your child.
