About international schools in Philippines
Premium international schools in the Philippines are concentrated in major urban centres such as Metro Manila, Cebu and Davao and typically offer a continuous programme from early years through senior secondary. Many of these schools teach internationally recognised curricula - notably the International Baccalaureate and adapted British and American pathways - with English as the main language of instruction and additional language options (Filipino/Tagalog, Mandarin, Japanese, Korean and others) commonly available. Annual tuition varies considerably and many premium schools publish fees in both Philippine pesos and US dollars; families should budget roughly in the mid-₱300,000s to high-₱800,000s per year for established premium providers, with some schools publishing fees in the USD 10,000 - 20,000+ band depending on year level and extra charges. Admissions generally follow an academic-year rhythm (main intakes around August/September, with some January entry points and a mix of fixed-window and rolling admissions), so relocating families should start enquiries early and have school records and assessment reports ready.
