international schools

Worldwide curriculum institutions

International schools are private schools that follow curricula different from the host country's national system, typically offering instruction in English and serving expatriate families or students seeking globally recognized credentials.

Many follow the International Baccalaureate program or British/American curricula: The embassy staff enrolled their children in an international school.

The term also applies to schools emphasizing multicultural education regardless of student nationality.
