Is there a lot of competition for spots in local schools?
Competition is fierce for the best international schools. Most other schools have waiting lists for many grades and those who fit with the different schools’ priorities have the best chance to get admission. For example, the British School prioritizes placement for British students, and then, secondly, those from commonwealth countries.  The French school only accepts students fluent in French. Please contact Crown Manila for assistance with detailed information and securing an admissions appointment.
