Annual tuition at international schools typically ranges from $5,000 to $35,000 depending on the country and curriculum. Schools in Southeast Asia and Latin America tend to be more affordable ($5,000-$15,000), while those in Western Europe and the Middle East can exceed $25,000 per year.

Question 2

What curriculum should I choose for my child?

Accepted Answer

The best curriculum depends on your long-term plans. The International Baccalaureate (IB) is recognized worldwide and ideal for globally mobile families. American and British curricula are good if you plan to return to those countries for university. Consider your child age, future plans, and the availability of each curriculum in your destination.

Question 3

When should I apply to international schools?

Accepted Answer

Most international schools have rolling admissions, but popular schools fill up quickly. Apply 6-12 months before your move for the best chances. Many schools require entrance assessments, previous school records, and recommendation letters. Waitlists are common at top-rated schools, so apply to multiple options.
