International Education: Experts See Maturity in English-Medium Int’l Schools

E English instruction, international curricula and qualifications preparing students for global higher education opportunities, and smaller class sizes, according to an international school’s market data and intelligence specialist, continue to attract parents to English-medium schools.

According to ISC Research, 5.8 million children are enrolled in 13,180 English-medium international schools around the world. As per ISC Research's new white paper, the maturing English-medium international school market is differentiating itself from other K-12 offerings.

"For those parents who live in a non-English-speaking country and want their child to have access to global higher education and career opportunities, immersion of learning using the English language remains the primary reason to choose an English-medium international school," the report stated. “An increasing number of international schools are offering bilingual and multilingual learning with English as one of the main languages of instruction,” it continued.

Despite the fact that the market "may well be maturing in some areas of the world," it continues to shift and adapt in response to educational opportunities, political influences, and market competition, according to the report.

ISC Research also identified college counsellor services provided by English-medium international schools as an appealing differentiator.
