About international schools in Philippines

British-curriculum international schools in the Philippines typically deliver an adapted English National Curriculum through primary years and the Cambridge IGCSEs, with many schools continuing to A-levels or offering the IB Diploma as an alternative, taught largely in English to an international intake. Parents will commonly find English as the language of instruction while Filipino (and sometimes Filipino history/civics) is taught to meet national requirements and support local students’ language development. Annual tuition in Metro Manila varies widely by school and year group but commonly runs from the mid-hundreds of thousands of pesos up to around PHP 1.5 - 1.8 million at the high end, with some schools publishing fees in a mix of pesos and foreign currency. Admissions follow the Philippine school calendar influences (many international schools align intake with the June/August academic year and use age cut-offs and age-appropriate assessments), and schools normally assess academic level and English proficiency as part of their enrolment process. Families relocating should budget for application/entrance deposits, possible dual-currency payments, and extra costs such as learning-support or EAL programmes, exam and activity fees, and transport or lunch services when comparing offers.

FAQs for Philippines

What qualification pathways do British-curriculum schools in the Philippines offer and how do they differ?
Most follow the English National Curriculum in primary years, progress to Cambridge IGCSEs in Years 10 - 11, and then offer A-levels in Years 12 - 13; some schools instead move into the International Baccalaureate Diploma for the final two years. IGCSEs are broad subject exams taken at the end of lower secondary, while A-levels are subject-specialist qualifications focused on a few subjects and commonly used for UK university entry; the IB Diploma is a broader, holistic two-year programme aimed at university readiness worldwide.
How much should I expect to pay and what extra costs are typical?
Tuition varies by school, campus and year group so parents should check published schedules, but in Manila British-curriculum schools commonly charge mid-six-figure pesos annual tuition up to over a million pesos for older year groups. Expect additional one-off costs such as application or entrance fees, deposits, exam fees, English-support or learning-support charges, school uniforms, extracurricular activities and optional transport or meal plans.
When is the main intake and how does the admissions process work for relocating families?
Many international schools in the Philippines align with the national three-term calendar and have principal intakes in June or August, though some accept applications year-round and maintain waiting lists. Admissions typically require an application form and fee, previous school reports, age verification, and age-appropriate entrance testing or interviews that assess academic level and English proficiency; families moving mid-year should contact schools early to check availability and assessment arrangements.
What language support and local language requirements should I expect?
Instruction in British-curriculum schools is primarily in English, and most schools offer English as an Additional Language (EAL) or similar support for non-native speakers. Filipino is usually delivered as a subject in line with national education expectations, and some schools also offer additional modern languages such as Mandarin or Spanish depending on demand.
What should parents compare when shortlisting British-curriculum schools in the Philippines?
Compare curriculum pathway and exit qualifications, published fees and the full list of extra charges, class sizes and specialist support for EAL or learning differences, the school’s approach to assessment and university guidance, and practicalities such as location, transport, campus facilities and pastoral care. Also ask about teacher qualifications and turnover, inspection or accreditation status, and how the school supports new international students to settle academically and socially.
