International schools across the globe
When it comes to moving abroad with children by your side, identifying the top international school in your area is a priority. But, with so many other factors to consider as a part of the relocation process, it can be easy to dismiss the importance of finding the very best international school for your child in advance. With many of these schools having waiting lists which can be as long as 12 months (and in some cases, even longer!) it is important to ensure that this part of the relocation process is arranged long before you make the move, to ensure that the move has no negative implications on your child’s education. Fortunately, here at Santa Fe Relocation, we’ve done some research to help you to get started. Here’s what we found when it comes to the top international schools across the globe:
