Information about International School

International schools are schools that cater mainly to children who are not nationals of the host country, often the children of the staff of international businesses, international organizations, embassies, missions, or missionary programs. They are also often popular with local students who wish to improve their language skills. Often, international schools are private but public international schools exist.

International schools typically use curricula based on those of countries like the United Kingdom or the United States or an international curriculum such as the IB Diploma Programme. Most schools use English as the main language of instruction but schools using French, Russian and other languages exist as well.

Usually, international schools teach the main subjects that schools in America or England do, namely, English, math, science, humanities, foreign languages, drama, art, music, physical education, information technology and design technology. Most International schools also offer private tutoring and other extracurricular activities such as a school play, athletic teams and many other after school programs. Most International schools have a mascot and well educated teachers.
