Are the international schools run by governmental agencies (Defence Department, Dept. of Education)?
Some governments (eg France, Germany, Japan) set up their own schools overseas as though they were in the home country. The European Union sets up European Schools in cities where EU institutions employ a large number of EU families. The armed forces of Britain and the USA set up schools for their military dependents overseas. Some countries establish an international section within a local state school. However, these and other models generally differ fundamentally from international schools in philosophy and curriculum.
