International schools by definition are referred to schools, which aim
at promoting education of highly international standards. There are several
ways in order to promote and establish international
standards of education. Often there are times when the schools adopt the
strategies of implementing international syllabus into their curriculum. Amongst
these well versed syllabus structures, the one which are most commonly followed
curriculum includes that of the Cambridge and of Baccalaureate. The other ways
in which one could adopt an international standard of education would be to
follow the syllabus that is different from the course of study pattern of the other
national schools.
International schools have certain standards ascribed to their being accepted globally. There
are certain criteria’s that are required to be followed specially by the school
management. The most important factor that separates these international
schools from other schools is that, students can be transferred from one
international school to the other, be it inside the country or outside in any
other country, which render the same syllabus and same pattern of education to
the child. Another distinguishing feature of international schools is that they
are usually able to attract more students to also enrol these students in
comparison to other schools.
English language is used as the main medium of instruction and teaching
in all the international schools. This is because English is considered to be
an international language and is commonly used and understood by people in most
countries, it is easy to communicate also in English with the foreigners. This
is the main reason why the enrolment of the students is generally made on
random basis.
Like students who come here are international in their origin similarly,
the teachers who are selected to take classes are also of foreign origin, just
to maintain the level of coherence in teaching and understanding the doubts of
other students. Also, unlike other schools not every subject is made compulsory
for every student, the choice of subject for each student is based on the
usefulness and practicality of the subject in the particular student’s life. If
the student is unable to understand the subject and is clueless about its
whereabouts then it is removed from their curriculum to ease out the student’s
life a little bit.
An international school have prerogatives which are also international
in nature and has several other benefits that accompany them. Hence, parents of
slightly affluent background wish to enrol children in such schools as it
appears to be hassle free in nature.
