Welcome to InternationalSchoolsDB.com

Choosing a school is one of the biggest decisions any parent makes. When you're doing it in a different country, in an unfamiliar city, possibly in a language you don't speak, it gets a whole lot harder.

That's why we built InternationalSchoolsDB.

We're a growing database of international schools around the world. The aim is to make one of the most stressful parts of moving abroad easier, whether you are relocating for work, a local family looking at international education, or just starting to see what's out there.

What you'll find here

InternationalSchoolsDB is a searchable directory. You can browse schools by country, city, curriculum, fee range, age group and more. Each school profile covers the practical details you need for a decision: curriculum, fees, ages, whether there is boarding, and how to get in touch.

We also publish guides, from curriculum comparisons (IB, British and American, for example) to city school guides, relocation tips and practical advice you won't find in a school brochure.

We want to put the information in one place so you can spend less time searching online and more time visiting schools and talking to the people who run them.

How this helps parents

If you've ever researched international schools in a city you've never lived in, you know the drill. You end up with thirty browser tabs open, every school's website is laid out differently, fees are buried or missing, and you still can't work out whether your seven-year-old would be in Year 3 or Grade 2.

We've tried to fix that. Every school we list is shown in the same structured format, so you can compare them side by side. Filter by what matters to your family, shortlist the schools that fit, and go from there.

Listings present facts in the same format for every school. You can narrow results by location, curriculum, budget and age range. Our guides cover the questions parents ask most, from how fees are structured to admissions timelines in a new city.

We're not affiliated with any school group, education consultancy or relocation company.

How this helps schools

We built InternationalSchoolsDB to be useful for schools too.

If you run or work at an international school, this puts your school in front of families who are searching for a school in your city, for your age range, teaching your curriculum.

Every school can have a listing. You can claim and update your profile so the information families see is accurate and current, which gives you another way to be found besides your own website and paid advertising.

This is especially useful for newer or smaller schools without a large marketing budget. A well-maintained listing sits alongside the established names.

We're just getting started

We add schools, cities and features regularly. If you're a parent, we hope this makes your search a little easier. If you're a school, we'd love to have you in the database.

Have a look around, and if you have questions, feedback, or a school you'd like us to add, get in touch.
