Information for Parents

British Schools in the UK and abroad

Most students from overseas who study at a school in the UK will do so at one of the 2,200 independent (or private) schools there. These schools may cover only primary or secondary education, while others cover all ages up to 18 years. Some of these schools take boarders, while the majority are for day students only. Information and advice about schools in the UK is available from the ISC information and advice service or ISCias (see www.isc.co.uk )

How to choose a British International School?

When choosing a school it is important to do as much research as possible. Find out what schools are available in the area to which you are moving - ask for advice from your employer, the British Embassy, the British Council, local expatriate organisations, etc. Check with organisations such as COBIS (Council of British International Schools) for suggestions.

Why choose a British International School?

British education, at both the school and university level, has achieved a worldwide reputation for quality.
