About international schools in Mongolia

British-curriculum international schools in Mongolia are a small group largely based in Ulaanbaatar that deliver the National Curriculum of England and Wales and commonly prepare older pupils for Cambridge IGCSE and AS/A-Level examinations. Teaching is normally in English, with Mongolian language and civic studies included in timetables and some schools also offering parallel programmes such as the IB Diploma or BTEC alongside Cambridge pathways. Published fee schedules show a wide spread: preschool places at some schools are advertised from roughly MNT 13 million per year while junior and senior years at higher-fee British-curriculum schools can exceed MNT 70 million annually, with separate registration, development, bus and meal charges on top. Admissions normally follow a September-based school year and typically involve open-day visits, registration and an English-language assessment or placement test for new pupils, so relocating families should plan applications several months ahead and be ready to supply recent school reports and identity documents.

FAQs for Mongolia

What does a “British curriculum” school in Mongolia actually teach?

A British-curriculum school usually follows the National Curriculum of England and Wales in primary and lower-secondary years and moves to international Cambridge qualifications (IGCSE at about age 14 - 16 and AS/A-Level at 16 - 18). Schools often combine that pathway with local Mongolian subjects and, in some cases, offer alternative international programmes such as the IB Diploma or vocational BTEC options.

What ages and qualification stages will my child pass through?

Most British-style international schools cover Early Years and primary up to Key Stage 2, then lower secondary and Key Stage 3, with Cambridge IGCSE typically taken aged 14 - 16 and AS/A-Level (or equivalent) taken aged 16 - 18. Some schools also run IB Diploma options for the final two years if families prefer that route to university.

Is instruction only in English and will non-English speakers get support?

Instruction is predominantly in English, but Mongolian language and cultural studies are usually part of the curriculum. Schools commonly assess incoming pupils’ English and provide English as an additional language (EAL) or staged entry support, though the level and intensity of support varies so you should ask each school for its EAL programme details.

How much should we budget and what extra costs should we expect?

Tuition varies considerably between providers; published fee schedules at British-curriculum schools show preschool fees from around MNT 13 million and secondary fees that can rise into the tens of millions or higher per year. Expect additional one-off and recurring charges such as registration or seat deposits, development fees, exam fees, school-bus and meals, uniforms and extra-curricular activity costs, and check each school’s published fee schedule for exact amounts and payment deadlines.

When should we apply and what are the usual admissions steps?

Apply several months before the start of the school year: most British-curriculum schools hold open days and close registrations in the summer for September entry, and they require a completed application, recent school reports and identity documentation. New pupils commonly sit placement or English assessments and some schools permit invigilated remote testing for families still overseas, but policies differ so confirm each school’s specific process and timelines early.
