In short

There is no universal ranking of schools in this category, because 'best' depends on the curriculum, the language, the qualification the next country requires, the child's needs and the family's budget. This page therefore lists the schools with verified detail and sets out the criteria that should drive the decision.

Criteria used on this page

No institution is described here as universally "the best". Each list states the criteria behind it, and the right choice depends on the student's objective. Criteria applied:

  • Qualification and recognition — What the leaving qualification is, and which universities it opens.
  • Language of instruction — How much of the day is genuinely in each language.
  • Learning support — Scope, staffing and eligibility — decisive for some families.
  • Class size and teacher continuity — Request current figures.
  • Accreditation / authorisation — Confirm the current status directly with the school.
  • Commute and transport — Distance matters less than time.
  • Total cost — Including capital levies, transport, materials and examination fees.
