International Schools
Many parents will require their children to be educated to a similar standard and in a similar environment to the schools in their own country. The UK has many International Schools that provide a programme leading to a traditional American diploma for acceptance into American colleges and universities; or the International Baccalaureate diploma for worldwide university access. The schools listed on this page are a small selection of some of the schools in and around London, with supporting information extracted from their own websites. There are many others.
