About international schools in Philippines

Korean-curriculum international schools in the Philippines are typically organised around the Republic of Korea national curriculum and place a strong emphasis on Korean language, culture and academic standards while also providing significant English instruction or support for an international context. Some providers are full PK - 12 Korean-curriculum schools recognised by Korean authorities, while others offer Korean-language streams or subjects alongside the Philippine K - 12 or other international programmes. Fees vary with school type and year group, but parents should expect anything from roughly ₱100,000 a year at smaller or local schools up to several hundred thousand pesos (and in some senior years, higher) at full international or specialist campuses; billing is commonly split into two or three instalments. Relocating families should confirm each school’s government recognition, the split between Korean and English instruction, language-support for non-Korean speakers, and likely extra costs (meals, transport, uniforms and trips), and should contact admissions early to book assessments and tours.

FAQs for Philippines

What does “Korean curriculum” mean in a Philippine school?
A Korean-curriculum school follows the Republic of Korea’s national syllabus for core subjects and typically teaches most classes in Korean while preserving Korean cultural and language education. In the Philippines that can mean a fully Korean-run PK - 12 programme or a hybrid arrangement where Korean curriculum elements sit alongside Philippine K-12 or other international programmes; confirm with each school whether it issues Korean-aligned transcripts and how it handles subject equivalence.
Which languages are used for teaching and support?
Many Korean-curriculum schools use Korean as the primary medium of instruction but also provide substantial English instruction or bilingual lessons to prepare pupils for international study or local life. Schools differ in how much English they use, whether they run separate English immersion classes, and what support they offer for students who do not speak Korean, so families should ask for a clear language-of-instruction breakdown and examples of support services.
How much do these schools typically cost and what extra charges should I budget for?
Annual tuition varies widely by school and by grade: expect a range from about ₱100,000 at smaller local schools up to several hundred thousand pesos at international or specialist campuses, with senior years often at the upper end. In addition to tuition, budget for assessment/application fees, enrollment deposits, uniforms, meals, transport or school bus, textbooks and occasional field trips or exam fees, and always ask the school for a full, written fee schedule and refund policy.
When should we apply and what does the admissions process usually involve?
Admissions normally involve an application form, submission of identity and school records, an assessment or entrance test and a parent interview, and families are advised to start enquiries several months before the school year begins. Academic calendars vary (some schools follow Philippine or international intake patterns), some accept transfer students outside the main intake, and places can be limited - ask each school for exact application deadlines, assessment dates and the documents required to secure a place.
Will a Korean-curriculum education in the Philippines prepare my child for Korean universities or for local/international progression?
A school that follows the Korean national curriculum and is recognised by Korean authorities will generally prepare pupils for Korean higher-education pathways, while bilingual programmes and schools that also teach international syllabuses may give broader options for universities in the Philippines or abroad. Check the school’s published progression information, whether it issues transcripts accepted in Korea, and what university-counselling support is available for senior students.
What should relocating families inspect on a school visit?
On a visit, confirm the language split in everyday lessons, ask to see recent timetables and sample reports, check pastoral and learning-support provision for children who need language or learning assistance, and request a clear, itemised fees schedule and refund policy. Also look at class sizes, extracurricular opportunities, staff qualifications (especially Korean-trained teachers where the Korean curriculum is used), and how the school handles transport and medical or safeguarding arrangements.
