The Best International Schools in Buenos Aires
A guide to Buenos Aires' top international and bilingual schools for expat families.
May 14, 2026
The International School Landscape
Buenos Aires has an exceptional range of international schools catering to expat families — offering British, American, German, French, Israeli, Japanese, Chinese and Italian curricula, as well as Argentine bilingual schools that combine local and international standards. Most operate in English (or another foreign language) alongside Spanish, and many offer IB (International Baccalaureate) programs.
Top Schools by System
The Lincoln School and Northlands offer American-curriculum education. St. Andrew's Scots School and Belgrano Day School follow British traditions. Deutsche Schule (German), Lycée Franco-Argentino (French) and Pestalozzi (German-Swiss) serve their respective communities. Argentine bilingual options like Colegio San Andrés and ORT Argentina offer strong academics at lower tuition.
Cost and Admission
Annual tuition at top international schools ranges from USD 8,000 to USD 25,000 — significantly below equivalent schools in the US, UK or Singapore. Admission processes vary but most schools have rolling admissions throughout the year. Roffo's relocation team can facilitate introductions and guide you through the admission process for your preferred schools.
