InternationalSchools.org is a free matching service that helps families relocating internationally find schools with confirmed places for their children. Families submit one request covering all their children, and the platform shows matched schools with verified availability, fees, and next steps, while keeping control over which schools receive their details.

Problem
Families relocating internationally often spend weeks contacting dozens of schools individually to find out which ones have places for their children, what the fees are, and whether their preferred start date is possible. School websites typically describe the school itself but cannot answer whether a place is available for a specific child in a specific year group for the upcoming intake.
Solution
InternationalSchools.org provides a free matching service where families submit one request covering all their children, including destination city, ages, year groups, curriculum preferences, budget, and intended start date. The platform then shows matched schools with clear answers about place availability, fees for the relevant year group, and next steps such as assessments or visits. Every school card indicates where the information came from and whether places are confirmed, and no school is contacted until the family chooses to connect and confirms what will be shared. Families stay in control of which schools receive their details and how those schools may contact them.
Target Audience
Primary users are parents and guardians relocating internationally with school-age children who need to identify which schools in a new city can actually accommodate their family for the upcoming intake.
