Frequently asked questions

International schools in brief

What is an IB (International Baccalaureate) school?

An IB school offers one or more International Baccalaureate programmes: the Primary Years Programme (PYP), the Middle Years Programme (MYP) and the IB Diploma in the final years of high school. These programmes are taught in many countries and recognised by universities worldwide. The IB Diploma is awarded after two years of study and international examinations.

What is a British or Cambridge school?

A British school follows the curriculum of England and prepares students for Cambridge International examinations: the IGCSE around age 16, then A-Levels at the end of secondary school. This pathway, structured into key stages, is offered in many countries and gives access to British and international universities.

What is the difference between an international school and a bilingual school?

An international school welcomes families of many nationalities and most often teaches in English, sometimes following an IB or British programme. A bilingual school teaches in two languages, usually the local language and English, and can include a French or international section. The right choice depends on the family's plans and the next steps they have in mind.
