Top 20 IGCSE Schools in Manila

Metro Manila has a wide range of international schools. For families targeting Cambridge IGCSE, the most important ranking factors are IGCSE subject breadth, the quality of specialist teaching, and whether the school runs consistent exam-technique programmes (mocks, past papers, feedback cycles).

What to ask for (IGCSE outcomes + evidence)

• Subject-by-subject outcomes (Maths/English/Sciences)
• How many exam entries the school runs (cohort size matters)
• How the school prepares students for exam technique (not just “content teaching”)
