About international schools in Mongolia

IB international schools in Mongolia are concentrated in Ulaanbaatar and tend to be modest in number, so families should expect a small, fairly tight-knit international school scene rather than a large market. Schools commonly offer parts of the IB continuum - Primary Years (PYP), Middle Years (MYP) and the Diploma (DP) - often alongside British or Cambridge programmes, with English as the main language of instruction and Mongolian taught as a required subject. Tuition varies widely by school and age: some British-style international schools publish annual fees in the low tens of millions of Mongolian tugrik, while the International School of Ulaanbaatar publishes standard tuition in the tens of thousands of US dollars (varying by grade). Admissions run on an academic-year rhythm (applications and testing are typically required months before the August/September start), so relocating families should apply early, check transport and language-support options, and factor in Ulaanbaatar’s practical considerations such as harsh winter weather and winter air quality when planning a move.

FAQs for Mongolia

Which IB programmes are actually available in Mongolia?
Mongolia has a small number of IB World Schools offering one or more IB programmes: a handful of schools offer the Diploma Programme (DP), fewer schools run the Primary Years Programme (PYP), and only one school is authorised to offer the full PYP - MYP - DP continuum. Availability changes as schools seek new authorisations, so check each school’s current IB status.
How much does an IB education in Mongolia typically cost?
Fees vary a lot between schools and by age. Some British-style international schools publish annual fees in the range of several million Mongolian tugrik for younger years and higher for older grades, while one full-continuum international school publishes standard tuition in the tens of thousands of US dollars depending on grade level. Expect to budget for registration or capital levies, deposits, transport and extra-curricular costs in addition to the headline tuition.
When should I start the admissions process if we are relocating?
Begin the process as soon as your move is confirmed: international schools in Ulaanbaatar commonly require an enquiry, submission of records, an entrance test or interview and payment of registration or deposit months before the August/September school year start. Many schools operate rolling admissions for mid-year entry but places for popular age groups can fill quickly, so early contact is advisable.
What language of instruction should I expect and is support available for non-English speakers?
Most international schools that teach IB in Mongolia use English as the primary language of instruction while also delivering Mongolian language and civic education to meet local requirements. Many schools offer English-as-an-additional-language (EAL) support and bilingual models where some subjects are taught in Mongolian; parents should ask each school about the level and cost of language support offered.
What practical things should parents check when comparing IB schools in Mongolia?
Look for a school’s IB authorisations (which programmes are authorised), external accreditations, and published policies on safeguarding, learning support and university counselling. Also check class sizes, staff qualifications, the academic calendar, transport options, additional fees (registration, capital funds, bus, meals, exams) and whether the school provides EAL or special-needs support suited to your child.
