The Good Schools Guide International- the ONLY Guide that's completely independent!

"[Parents] looking for a good international school... rely on information gleaned not by a James Bond or George Smiley, but an army of doughty mothers recruited by the London-based Good Schools Guide International to ask difficult questions... in sometimes dangerous places. ”                    Financial Times

REVIEWS of the top international schools in the world....

Selected, written and paid for by the Guide - never the school. We choose what goes in, and what to say.....and we visit every one of them.   Schools are in (or out) - whether they like it or not.  The ONLY Guide that's completely independent.

  • The top British, IB, American and international schools in more than 35 countries (and growing).  

  • Good means really good, wherever you are....not just the best of a bad lot.
  • Real guidance... not generic PR fluff.  
  • Forthright, up to date, irreverent, candid.
  • Schools for children ages 3 to 18... state and independent. 
  • Expat Life and Educational Overviews  for every city (sample Moscow and Delhi Overviews, underlined).
  • Over 200 articles on education in every form (What's for free? Click underlined links on this page); 

If your family is moving abroad, YOU NEED THIS GUIDE.

Like the Good Schools Guide ... same publisher, same attitude, more countries.   

Some of the GSGI is free, but for complete school reviews and inside story, you have to SUBSCRIBE.
