International Schools in Manila, Philippines

International schools across Metro Manila typically teach in English and offer a mix of international curricula - most commonly the International Baccalaureate, adapted British (Cambridge/IGCSE) programmes and American or Australian systems - with an increasing number of bilingual Mandarin, Korean or Japanese tracks. Full-year tuition varies by school and year group, but a recent market survey places the median around ₱509,300 with most schools clustered roughly between ₱330,000 and ₱892,000; families should also budget for enrolment/registration fees, transport, uniforms and external exam charges. Most international schools follow an August-to-June academic calendar and run their own admissions cycles that include paperwork, entrance assessments and interviews, so parents commonly begin enquiries six to twelve months before arrival. Schools are concentrated in business/residential hubs such as Bonifacio Global City, Makati, Alabang and parts of Pasig and Quezon City, so commuting time, school transport and neighbourhood safety are important practical considerations for relocating families.
