Ulaanbaatar Elite International School

What Ulaanbaatar Elite International School does

Ulaanbaatar Elite International School is a privately operated K-12 international school founded in 2005 and based in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, delivering the Cambridge International Curriculum from Kindergarten through Grade 12 (Primary, Lower Secondary, IGCSE, and A-Level). The school enrolls more than 850 students drawn from 12 nationalities and employs 76 educators at an 11:1 student-teacher ratio. It also wholly owns Elite Kids Kindergarten as a downstream subsidiary, creating a feeder pipeline from early-years education into the main school.

The school's core academic product is structured along the Cambridge pathway, supplemented by a German-language joint track (introduced 2018) and an extracurricular portfolio that includes activity clubs, performing arts, and competitive programs such as the World Scholar's Cup. It maintains affiliations with international education bodies including COBIS and ECIS, holds Cambridge International accreditation, and was designated an ACT Testing Center in 2020. In 2024, it became the first school in Mongolia to receive a 'Promising Practice' certificate from character.org, and in 2025 it marked its 20th anniversary with a graduating class receiving reported scholarships of approximately $19.79M.

Revenue is generated primarily through tuition fees — published at approximately 20.5M–22.5M MNT per student per year — supplemented by a defined stack of ancillary services including lunch (2.3M MNT), school bus (2.5M MNT), textbooks (~700k MNT), and after-school clubs (~1M MNT). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer, with families enrolling children via the school's website. The school is a single-campus operation in Ulaanbaatar with no disclosed expansion into additional geographies.
