Welcome to this seventh edition of International Schools

In a world that seems to be growing smaller, where national borders no longer present themselves as boundaries to commerce, international schools are committed to creating a global sense of community. International schools seek to meet the challenges of a changing world by offering contemporary curricula supported by contemporary resources and technology, educating students for whom global relocation is often the norm rather than the exception.

Within international schools, there is a strong emphasis on helping and teaching students to cope with change and, in turn, to help others with whom they share the world.

Choosing an international school is one of the many options available to parents and children planning a relocation (others include choosing a local school in the new country or finding a boarding school in the child’s home country). Because of the complexity of these choices, it is especially helpful for parents and children to have an understanding of what international schools are, where they are and the kind of education they offer.

The John Catt Guide to International Schools 2010 is a unique guide to more than 5400 international schools in 155 countries. Designed to provide as much helpful information as possible for prospective pupils, it includes details of international schools, boarding schools in the UK offering places to overseas pupils, educational associations, and the range of international curriculum options available (including the IB, IGCSE/IGCE, CIE examinations and US programmes).

We hope that, by providing you with the information you need about international schools, we can help you make this important decision about your child’s education.
