Though the topic is all about to choose the best International School in India, I will discuss certain points which are acceptable to the glob and not restricted to a particular country.


International School

Before jump to the topic over the best international school, I will discuss the few points on the title International School. 

International School: A school that provides international education, in an international friendly facility, either by adopting a curriculum such as that of the International Baccalaureate, Edexcel or Cambridge International Examinations or by following a curriculum different from that of the school's host country.

To verify as an 'international school' requires at least one of the following points

a) The school offers a curriculum not of its host nation.

b) It should have a membership of, or accreditation by, an international school association, such as: 
 
  • British Schools in the Middle East (BSME) 
  • Council of International Schools (CIS)
  • Council of British International Schools (COBIS)
  • Federation of British International Schools in Asia (FOBISIA)
  • International Schools Association (ISA)
  • Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC)

c) The school allows foreign students

Now the topic is "how to choose the best International School?"


Then a few points come to mind that makes one school stand out as the best from others. The points are mentioned below:

1) Great Teaching Staff & Faculty

The teaching staff and other faculty members are the real base of any school. In an international school, they are selected on the specialization with their highest qualification and well trained to teach the student with the best suitable approach.

2) Co-curricular Activities

Sports and Adventure Activities are a vital part of the development and growth of students. The International schools encourage participation in tournaments, inter-school competitions and the opportunities should available to all students.

3) Rigorous Curriculum:

Many international schools provide the IBDP (International Baccalaureate Diploma Programmes) or A-Level or IGCSE curriculums instead of the traditional Indian curriculum which is followed by many schools in India such as CBSE or ICSE. The reason International schools prefer IB and other curriculums as it helps the students to understand a concept through a practical approach. Also, it allows students to use more of their creative skills.

4) Infrastructure:

Another aspect that helps international schools stand out as the best one is its infrastructure and facilities. The whole school campus should be eco-friendly and the classroom should be the global standard.

5) Vibrant parent-teacher association

There will be proper cooperation and a coalition between the parents and the school.
