About international schools in Philippines

Korean-curriculum international schools in the Philippines are designed to deliver the South Korean national curriculum overseas, keeping Korean language and cultural study at their core while often providing substantial English instruction or a parallel English strand to support bilingual learning. Most operate as day schools in Metro Manila (the main example serves PK - 12 in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig) and are registered with the Korean government’s overseas-education network, so they are organised to allow a smooth return to schools in Korea. Fee levels vary by year group and billing practice, but published school materials for the established Korean school in Manila show tuition charged in a mix of US dollars and Philippine pesos and additional one-off entrance or registration charges, so families should budget for tuition plus local currency components and incidental fees. Admissions commonly run on a semester basis with rolling intake windows and, for early years, capacity rules (including lotteries where classes fill); families relocating should prepare passports, previous school records and any visa documents well before application.

FAQs for Philippines

How is the Korean curriculum structured and how does it differ from other international options?
Korean-curriculum schools follow the South Korean national syllabus and timetable (the standard 6+3+3 primary/middle/high structure) and use Korean textbooks and assessment practices, so the sequence and subject emphasis align with schools in Korea. That makes them a logical choice if your family expects to return to Korea, but it also means subject content and assessment methods may differ from British, American or IB programmes and can require extra English support for students who are not already strong in Korean.
What languages will my child learn and which language is used for teaching?
The primary medium of instruction in these schools is Korean, with Korean language, literature and social studies delivered in Korean, while English is commonly taught as a core subject and many schools run stronger English strands or additional English support classes. Filipino is usually taught as a local subject in line with Philippine regulations or offered as a language option, so expect a multilingual school day rather than instruction solely in English.
How much should we expect to pay and what extra costs are typical?
Published enrolment materials for the Korean school in Manila show a tuition model that mixes a US-dollar component and a peso component plus a one-time entrance/registration charge, with the school listing specific dollar and peso amounts by level in its prospectus; ancillary costs such as uniforms, textbooks, meals, activity fees and transport are commonly additional. Actual totals vary by year group and by whether the family pays in dollars or pesos, so use published prospectuses as a starting point and ask the school for a full, current all-in estimate before relocating.
When do schools accept applications and what is the admissions process like?
Admissions are typically semester-based with rolling intake rules for mid-year transfers; some early-years classes publish fixed application or lottery dates when demand exceeds capacity and will close places once quotas are met. Expect an application form, submission of identity and previous-school records, language or placement assessments for older children, and a brief window to accept an offer and complete registration, so start enquiries several months before your intended start date.
Can non-Korean children enrol and are there special visa or document requirements?
Yes - non-Korean nationals can enrol, though school prospectuses commonly specify visa or long-stay documentation and may include an additional fee for foreign nationals; schools also require standard documents such as passports, birth certificates and transcripts. If your move is temporary, check the school’s rules on proof of long-term stay and the effect of nationality on tuition or admissions priority well before applying.
