Why InternationalSchools.org exists

A calmer way to navigate international education

Choosing a school abroad means juggling country, curriculum, age, timing, language, and budget — all at once. A real school-matching specialist holds it all for you, so you don't have to.

A real specialist, not an algorithm

Every family profile is read and matched by a person who knows international schools.

Independent and family-first

We help families explore multiple school types and curricula globally — fit first, brand second.

You stay in control

Your details only go to the schools on the shortlist we send. Never sold. Never scraped.

Free for families

Partner schools fund the service when a match leads somewhere. You pay nothing.

Process

How matching works

Every family profile is read by a real person — never an algorithm alone. We ask the questions a thoughtful friend with school knowledge would ask, then come back with a small, considered shortlist.

01

Tell us about your child

Your child's age and year group, destination city, curriculum preferences, budget range, timeline, and any learning support needs.

02

A real specialist reviews your family

We consider educational fit, destination context, and curriculum alignment — never an algorithm alone.

03

Personal shortlist & warm introductions

Within 2 business days you get a small, personal shortlist. With your permission, those schools can reach out to you directly about admissions.

Example shortlist preview

See the kind of recommendation your family receives.

No fluff. Three to five schools with a clear reason each one fits — written by the specialist who reviewed your profile, not a template.

Example
Singapore

Riverside International

IB (PYP → DP)Ages 4–18S$32k–48k / yr

Why this fits — Strong PYP-to-DP continuity and a well-resourced learning-support team. A calm campus that suits a child moving country mid-year.

Example
Dubai

Greenfield British School

English National Curriculum, IGCSE & A-LevelsYears 1–13AED 65k–95k / yr

Why this fits — Established British school with a settled expat community, strong pastoral care, and on-time admissions windows that match your September move.

Example
Zurich

Lakeside American Academy

US curriculum + APGrades K–12CHF 38k–52k / yr

Why this fits — Smaller class sizes, AP-rich high-school programme, and strong US-university counselling — a natural fit if college in the US is on the horizon.

Common questions

Everything families ask before they submit

Honest answers to the things parents most often worry about — timing, fit, privacy, and what happens the moment you hit submit.

  • Reply in 2 business days
  • Zero spam — opt-in only
  • Reviewed by a real person
  • It's actually the ideal window. Top-rated international schools fill 12–18 months ahead at popular year groups — starting now gives you real choice instead of whatever's left.
  • Within 2 business days. A real person reads your family profile and emails you a curated shortlist — no auto-generated lists, no waiting weeks.
  • Just tell us — we'll refine the shortlist at no cost. Our job is fit, not closing a deal. We'd rather send three thoughtful matches than ten generic ones.
  • Yes. Share the context on the form and we'll prioritize schools with the right pastoral and learning support strength for your child — it's one of the most common things we screen for.
  • Only our advisor reviewing your profile and the schools on the shortlist we curate for you. Sharing with those shortlist schools is how they're able to contact you directly about admissions — it's the core of the service. Your details are never sold, scraped, or shared with anyone outside your shortlist.
  • Each shortlist school may reach out once to introduce themselves and walk you through admissions. If you'd rather not hear from a particular school, reply 'no thanks' or email us and we'll ask them to stop. You can also unsubscribe from our own emails in one click.
  • You can ask us — and any shortlist school — to stop processing your data for future contact at any time, and we'll honour it. We can't retroactively undo a shortlist that's already been sent, since those schools will already have your profile, but from the moment you ask, no further contact will happen.
  • An advisor reviews your profile, cross-checks educational fit and admissions timing, and emails you a personalized shortlist. If anything needs clarifying first, we'll reach out before sending.
  • Not at all. The shortlist is free and non-binding. You're free to apply to none, one, or all of the schools — entirely your call.
