About international schools in Manila, Philippines

Christian international schools in Manila combine an explicitly Christian ethos with the same international curricula you find elsewhere in the city, so families can expect faith-based assemblies, religious education and chaplaincy alongside globally-recognised programmes. Common curricula include the International Baccalaureate (PYP, MYP, DP), British (IGCSE/A-level) and American-style pathways, and English is almost always the primary medium of instruction with Filipino/Tagalog and Mandarin frequently taught as additional languages. Fees sit across a wide band: published annual tuition at international schools in Metro Manila typically ranges from the mid-hundreds of thousands of pesos to the high six-figure/low seven-figure mark, with many families finding that compulsory extras and services add a further 15 - 30% to published tuition. Admissions are often rolling but key intakes align with the main school year (July - August for many international calendars), and relocating families should budget time for assessments, transcript transfer and decisions about transport given Metro Manila traffic and campus locations in areas such as Bonifacio Global City, Makati and nearby suburbs.

FAQs for Philippines

What curricula do Christian international schools in Manila typically offer?
Most Christian international schools offer the same international curricula available elsewhere in Metro Manila: the IB continuum (PYP/MYP/DP) is common, as are British (Cambridge IGCSE/A-level) and American-style programmes. Some schools mix international programmes with local subject options or Cambridge/other examination routes at secondary level, so check each school’s senior-school pathway if you have a specific qualification in mind.
What language will my child be taught in, and is English support available?
English is the primary language of instruction at the vast majority of international schools in Manila, including Christian schools, and schools routinely offer English-as-an-additional-language (EAL/EALD/EAL support) or similar programmes for students who need them. Filipino/Tagalog and often Mandarin are offered as language classes, but you should confirm how much curriculum time is spent in each language and what support exists for newcomers.
How much should we expect to pay and what extra costs are common?
Published tuition at international schools in Metro Manila covers a wide range, with many schools’ annual fees falling in the mid-hundreds of thousands to around a million pesos; specialist or international-brand schools can be more expensive. Expect additional compulsory charges such as registration or entrance fees, capital development levies, school meals, uniforms, transport and activity costs, which commonly add 15 - 30% or more to the headline tuition figure.
When should we apply and what does the admissions process usually involve?
Many schools operate rolling admissions and accept applications year-round if places are available, but the main intake for international calendars is typically around July - August, so apply early for those start dates. Admissions generally require recent school reports and transcripts, age-appropriate assessments or interviews, immunisation records and proof of guardianship or residency; older students may also be asked about subject choices and prior qualifications.
What ages and stages do Christian international schools cover, and how central is faith in daily life?
Christian international schools in Manila vary from early years and primary through to full secondary provision, so you can usually find options for ages 2 - 18 depending on the school. The role of faith differs by school: some integrate Christian teaching across the curriculum and run daily or weekly worship and service programmes, while others keep religious activities more optional - ask each school for its statement of faith and examples of how religious life is built into timetables and school culture.
How can we check academic quality and recognition when comparing schools?
Look for external accreditation and recognised programme validation such as IB authorisation, Cambridge or recognised regional accreditations, and verify whether the school is registered with the Philippines’ education authorities if that’s relevant for local legal requirements. Also ask about university destinations, examination results, and how the school supports transitions to programmes or universities in your home country to make sure qualifications will meet your family’s needs.
