What options are there for international‑style schooling for my children?

Cagayan de Oro offers several private schools that follow an English‑medium curriculum, often based on the U.S., British, or International Baccalaureate frameworks. These schools typically provide small class sizes, extracurricular programs, and facilities such as libraries and sports fields. Admission usually requires submission of previous school records, an interview, and sometimes an entrance test. Tuition is higher than public schools but still lower than in Manila. To compare programs, visit the city’s education department website for a list of accredited private schools, and request prospectuses directly from the institutions you are interested in.
