About international schools in Boca Raton, United States

Boca Raton’s international-school scene mixes full International Baccalaureate (IB) campuses, bilingual French immersion settings and a range of independent American schools that offer AP, IB or a US curriculum with international language programmes. Families will commonly find instruction in English with strong French bilingual tracks and regular Spanish (and sometimes Mandarin) provision; some schools follow the French national programme or the CNED pathway alongside IB or American courses. Annual day-school fees vary widely by type and age - typical published ranges in the area run from low-to-mid five-figure annual tuition at smaller bilingual schools up to higher five figures at larger independent day schools, so expect mid-$10,000s to around $40,000+ at the top end depending on school and grade. Admission follows a familiar independent-school rhythm (early/regular rounds for September entry at many schools, plus rolling intake for some smaller or early-years places); international applicants should plan for English-proficiency checks and, if needed, visa/I-20 processes.

FAQs for United States

What kinds of curricula will my child find in Boca Raton’s international schools?
You’ll see the full IB continuum (PYP/MYP/DP) at several local schools alongside US independent-school programmes that offer AP or a US high-school diploma; there are also French bilingual schools that follow the French national curriculum (sometimes alongside CNED materials) while teaching many subjects in French and English. Choosing between these depends on whether you want continuity with the French system, an IB pathway for global recognition, or a more conventional US curriculum.
What languages of instruction and additional languages are commonly offered?
English is the primary language at most international and independent schools, but Boca Raton has established French-English bilingual schools where a large portion of lessons are in French and English, and Spanish is commonly taught as a second language; some schools also offer Mandarin or extra language enrichment. If your child is not yet fluent in the school’s principal language, many schools provide EAL/ESL support or French FLE classes for newcomers.
How much should we budget for tuition and additional costs?
Published fees vary by school and by grade: smaller bilingual or community international schools often publish annual tuition in the low-to-mid five figures, while larger independent day schools may charge in the higher five figures - recent local examples show school fees ranging from roughly the mid-$10,000s up to around $40,000 - $45,000 for day programmes. Expect extra costs on top of base tuition such as enrolment or registration fees, textbooks, uniforms, tests and optional activities, and always check the school’s current fee schedule and financial-aid policies.
When should we start the application process and what does it involve?
For September entry, many independent and international schools run early and regular application rounds in autumn and winter, with decisions announced in winter or early spring, while some smaller bilingual schools offer rolling admission throughout the year; begin enquiries and campus visits as soon as you know your move date. Typical steps are an initial enquiry/tour, a completed application with records, an assessment or standardised test for some grades, and a family or student interview; international applicants should allow extra time for English-proficiency checks and visa/I-20 paperwork where applicable.
What ages and stages do local international schools cover?
Coverage varies: there are French immersion settings focused on early years and primary education, IB schools that offer the full age range from preschool through grade 12, and other independent schools with early-years through upper-school programmes. If you need a specific age range (for example continuous bilingual provision through middle school or an IB Diploma in upper school), check each school’s published age/grade span to confirm continuity.
What should parents look for when comparing international schools in Boca Raton?
Look for the school’s authorised curriculum (IB authorisation, accreditation and any ministry or national affiliation), the language-provision model and continuity through the grades, measurable support for non-native speakers (EAL/ESL or FLE), transparent fee and financial-aid policies, and a clear admissions timeline. Also consider practical matters such as location and commute, class sizes, after-school care and how well the school supports transitions for internationally mobile families.
