Notes

"International school" is irregularly capitalized throughout the article. (Sometimes the first, both, or neither capitalized.) I didn't know which would be best so I haven't fixed the article. anon 12:40, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

National Curricula. What is that?

Whoa...I don't know about the UK, but in the USA there is no such thing as a "national curricula." Furthermore, the words, "international schools represent Education in the United Kingdom or Education in the United States" is at least ill-defined and perhaps meaningless.

International schools typically use curricula based on the school's country of origin. The most common international schools represent Education in the United Kingdom or Education in the United States. --TMH (talk) 06:39, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

There is no UK National Curriculum. There is an English National Curriculum, Scottish Qualification Framework, Welsh Curriculum and Northern Ireland Curriculum. Each part of the UK has their own Board of Education responsible for either respective national assembly or as an independent non-profit corporations in case of England. To all the complications private schools can follow an alternate "British" frameworks like Pre-U. So this article needs serious revision. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.8.84.167 (talk) 03:41, 26 May 2013 (UTC)

So much wrong

The article is pushing an ill-informed point of view.

The introduction is too long and has a single definition from a librarian's meeting which does not accurately reflect the current thinking the definition of an international school. There are many unsubstantiated statement, some of which seem contradictory.

Statements such as, "The first International schools were founded in the latter half of the 19th century in countries such as Japan, Switzerland and Turkey ..." seem to be original research and ignore historical evidence.

Someone with some energy needs to almost substantially rewrite the entire article.

More information can be added

There is a lack of, or incomplete, information in some areas that can be filled in with more detail. Some sentences are also unclear. JaysenC (talk) 05:04, 15 January 2022 (UTC)

Revised Page

Hey, I have recently revised this page by correcting some general mistakes as well as adding more elaborate information throughout. I hope this is a good first step for providing more general, and statistical, information regarding international schools. This can give readers a general understanding of what international schools are like and operate. For a lot of the "education styles" as well as "international school associations", I'm sure more can be added into that section. Please free to add any information. Again, hope this is a good first step. JaysenC (talk) 22:08, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

What about non-English language international schools?

Foreign-language schools for expatriates are not exclusively an English language phenomenon. For instance, there are 140 German schools abroad which operate similarly to English-language international schools except, of course, the language and curriculum is German rather than English.

Are these (and international schools offering other languages) covered elsewhere? --Robert Merkel (talk) 05:42, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
