Choosing the school first

Where the children will study usually decides where you live. We sequence the school offer and the visa so neither waits on the other.

Fees, plainly

International school fees here sit materially below the equivalent in Singapore, Hong Kong or the UK for a comparable curriculum.

English throughout

Teaching, administration and daily life are in English — most families need no language transition at all.

Tuition shown is the annual range a foreign student pays across year groups, before one-off enrolment fees, capital levies and refundable deposits; figures marked estimated await confirmation from the school. UEC schools additionally charge international administration and visa costs, and most require Mandarin proficiency and an entrance examination. We confirm current figures with the admissions office before you apply.
