About international schools in Philippines

International schools in the Philippines are principally English-medium, privately run institutions concentrated in major urban hubs such as Metro Manila, Cebu and Clark, and they offer a mix of international programmes rather than a single national system. The most commonly available programmes are the International Baccalaureate (PYP/MYP/DP), British-style curricula (Cambridge/IGCSE/A-level variants) and US-style or American-accredited programmes, with a smaller number offering other national systems or blended models. Annual tuition varies widely by school and campus: in Manila the typical published annual fee is around ₱509,300, with most schools listing fees in a band roughly between ₱330,000 and ₱892,000, while lower-fee international or foreign-section options also exist outside the capital. Private international schools set their own academic calendars within the national legal window (schools may open between the first Monday of June and the last day of August), so intakes and term dates can differ from one school to another and families should check each school’s published admissions calendar before relocating.

FAQs for Philippines

Which curricula will my child find at international schools in the Philippines?

You will commonly find the International Baccalaureate (PYP, MYP, DP), British-style routes that use Cambridge IGCSEs and related qualifications, and American-style programmes or US-accredited grade structures; some schools also offer Singaporean, Japanese, German or other national curricula in specific campuses. Offerings vary by school and by city, so check each school’s curriculum statement and upper-school exit qualifications to be clear on assessment and university preparation.

What language(s) are lessons taught in and will my child learn Filipino/Tagalog?

Most international schools teach primarily in English, with English used as the main medium for mathematics, science and many other subjects, while some schools run bilingual sections or additional mother-tongue classes for learners of Filipino or other languages. The national education policy also supports bilingual and mother-tongue instruction in early years across the country, so language provision can include formal Filipino lessons alongside English-medium teaching.

How much should we expect to pay and are there cheaper options outside Manila?

Tuition fees vary significantly between schools and year groups; published figures in Manila show a typical annual tuition around ₱509,300 with most schools between roughly ₱330,000 and ₱892,000, but some international or foreign-section schools and provincial campuses list substantially lower annual fees. Expect additional charges for registration, capital levies, transport, meals and specialist support, and compare total annual cost and projected fee rises when budgeting; less expensive options are more commonly found outside the capital or in schools that follow a foreign section model.

When should we start the admissions process before relocating?

Admissions timing differs by school: private international schools may open the school year any time between the first Monday of June and the last day of August and many schools run an August-to-June academic calendar, but individual intakes and rolling admissions policies vary. Begin enquiries and submit applications several months before your planned arrival - commonly three to six months - and allow extra lead time for assessment tests, interviews, document translation and visa or residency requirements.

What practical things should we check when comparing schools?

Look for clear information on accreditation and recognised exit qualifications, published fee schedules and what’s included, English-language support (EAL) and learning-support provision, class sizes and pastoral services, and the school’s relocation or onboarding arrangements for international families. Also request recent school calendars, sample reports, the admissions age-placement policy and examples of how the school supports transitions between curricula or when students join mid-year.
