Column Key

The nationality of the international curriculum, or the teaching method, upon which the school’s curriculum is based. It is advisable to consider a curriculum that is transferrable to your home country, or where you expect your child to attend school next.
Nursery/Kind/Grades:
Denotes whether the school offers programs for nursery or kindergarten, and the US grade equivalents of its academic programs.

Be aware that some schools have additional obligatory fees, such as an application, enrolment or placement exam fee, or optional costs that cover meals, transportation and extracurricular activities. In addition, some schools offer significantly more actual class days than others, making cost comparison difficult.
