How much do international schools cost in Azerbaijan in 2026?

Almost all English-medium international capacity sits in Baku. European Azerbaijan School publishes annual tuition around AZN 9,000 for Early Learning Centre, roughly AZN 12,500–14,000 for primary (local versus expat), AZN 14,500–15,500 for middle years, and AZN 17,500 for Diploma grades. Azerbaijan British College has published annual bands near AZN 11,000 for early years and about AZN 20,000–22,000 for primary through A Level. Confirm the live admissions PDF each year.

Premium campuses such as The International School of Azerbaijan (full IB continuum, long tied to the energy consortium community) and the British School in Baku (English National Curriculum through IGCSE and A Levels) commonly sit in higher multi-ten-thousand AZN annual bands by grade, with substantial one-off registration or capital fees on entry. Mid-market Cambridge and bilingual Azerbaijani-owned schools often land between municipal free schooling and those premium invoices. Crowdsourced primary averages near the low-to-mid teens of thousands AZN per year understate top-tier Diploma quotes.

Ask what is excluded: application and registration fees, bus (often AZN thousands per year), uniforms, books, exam entries, lunch, and language support.

Families often choose Baku districts for commute time to TISA, British School, EAS, or Oxford-style campuses rather than for the prettiest Bulvar view: Living in Baku, Baku cost of living, and Where to live in Azerbaijan. Two international tuitions can dwarf a mid-range lease: Rent in Azerbaijan. Public schools keep fees near zero for residents but expect Azerbaijani or Russian for classroom success: English in Azerbaijan.
