SCBWI dIreCtory ofinternational

schools

The SCBWI Directory of International Schools helps connect SCBWI au-thors, illustrators and translators who do school visits with interested international schools around the world. The Directory lists international

schools that feature (or plan to feature) author and illustrator (and occasionally translator) visits. Each year the submission period for schools to submit data for the Directory is April 1 to June 1. Librarians at international schools worldwide are encouraged to submit info for their schools.

International schools usually embrace a global outlook. The community of an international school—the administrators, faculty, students and families—typically includes members of many different cultures, languages and belief systems. The approach to education tends to be truly international. Some international schools follow the International Baccalaureate (IB) programs, including the IB Primary Years Program, the IB Middle Years Program, and the IB Diploma Program. Some international schools follow the national curriculum of a particular country, such as the Australian Schools and British Schools. Some international schools include many students of the local culture, whereas other international schools are forbidden by local law from accepting local students. In countries such as South Korea, international schools may be composed almost entirely of students from the local culture studying in English. Some international schools are aligned with a particular religious faith. Most international schools are located in or near major cities.

The information in this Directory was contributed by librarians at the international schools listed. The SCBWI hopes that this Directory of International Schools will continue to grow, and that this Directory, combined with the Guide to International School Visits, ultimately will benefit schools, authors, illustrators, and children worldwide.Authors, Illustrators and Translators: Please see also the SCBWI Guide to International School Visits (p. 253). Besides reading the information in the Guide and this Directory, be sure to check individual school websites.

Listings of international schools may also be found on the following sites:

• Council of International Schools (International Schools Directory) www.cois.org

• International Schools Service (Directory of International Schools) www.iss.edu

• The SHAMBLES in South East Asia (The Education Project Asia; International Schools in S.E. Asia) www.shambles.net/allschools/index.htm

• East Asia Regional Council of International Schools (Member Schools) www.earcos.org

Note: For the below SCBWI Directory of International School listings, “percent native English speakers” refers to the estimated percentage of native English speaking students at the school; “other languages taught” refers to languages besides English taught at the school.
