What is The Good Schools Guide International?

.... and why would I want to pack one more thing?

Because there's no guide like it for families moving abroad...

When it comes to intelligence gathering, [parents] looking for a good international school for their offspring... are coming to rely on information gleaned not by a James Bond or George Smiley, but an army of doughty mothers recruited as researchers by the London-based Good Schools Guide to ask difficult questions and probe local scandal, in sometimes dangerous places.                                   Financial Times

Like our sister publication, the 22 year best selling Good Schools Guide, The Good Schools Guide International is completely independent, written by parents for parents. It covers the top British, IB, American and international schools worldwide that cater to English-speaking expatriates - all visited by our own editors.

The GSGI also gives brisk, personal expat advice and educational overviews for each city, useful articles and real-time updates or red alerts (to see samples, click on underlined links).

GSGI school reviews are selected, written and paid for by the Guide - never the school. We choose everything that goes in the Guide, and we decide what to say. We take neither money nor ads from schools.

Like The Good Schools Guide, this new international version is forthright, up to date, occasionally irreverent, and pulls no punches. 

But you don’t need a bigger suitcase…every word is on this website.
