International students – tell us about your world!

There are nearly 5 million young people being educated around the world in international schools. 

We have great pleasure in promoting some of the leading international schools on this website – and now we have equal pleasure in showing off some great, creative work from international school students.

For the past three years we have published World Student magazine in partnership with the Council of British International Schools (COBIS). 

It has featured excellent writing on a number of topics, exemplifying the energy, imagination and global outlook of international students.

Sadly, the current issue of the magazine will be the last to be distributed in print, but we are committed to providing a platform for young people to showcase their writing.

We will be publishing the best articles from World Student on these pages, and will also be posting original pieces sent to us.

You can also read the current, and past, issues of World Student at world-student.com

So, if you're a teacher looking to showcase your students' work, or if you're a student with an article idea, please get in touch with us at enquiries@johncatt.com

We look forward to hearing from you, and sharing your work!
