Introducing our latest International School Leader theme: The Business of Schools: Strategy, Growth & Sustainability.

International schools are navigating rising costs, shifting demographics, increasing competition, and evolving parent expectations. Throughout this issue of International School Leader magazine, we'll explore how school leaders are responding with strategies that support long-term growth and sustainability.

Our first article, "Choosing Partners, Not Projects: Why Relationships Are the Foundation of Successful International School Growth," is written by Dave Bates, Director of International Education and Enterprise at Barnard Castle School (UK).

Drawing on his experience of international school development, Dave explores why successful international expansion depends on more than contracts, governance and financial models. He argues that long-term success is built on trust, shared purpose and strong partnerships.

If your school is exploring international growth or developing overseas partnerships, this article offers practical lessons on managing risk, selecting the right partners, and building relationships that stand the test of time.

The curriculum market is changing faster than many suppliers realise.​

Hybrid models are rising. Regional growth is shifting. Curriculum markets aren't growing at the same pace. Assumptions built on last year's picture can be costly.​

Inside the Curricula Overview 2026 Report:​

📈 Which curriculum markets are growing fastest​
🌍 Where regional opportunities are emerging​
🔀 Why hybrid models are reshaping schools​
🔎 What suppliers should be watching next​

Assumptions are expensive. Market intelligence reduces risk.​

Brazil. Vietnam. Egypt. Three of the fastest-growing international schools markets over the last five years.

But that's only part of the chart.

Our Growth Planning Guide breaks down the full five-year growth picture — market by market — along with insights on targeting, positioning and commercial readiness: https://ow.ly/zl4050ZoOx9

Growth in the international schools market isn't evenly distributed.

Among the markets we track, Brazil (25%), Vietnam (24%) and Egypt (20%) have recorded strong five-year growth — while several established markets are maturing and becoming more competitive.

These insights, along with sector-specific analysis on targeting, positioning and commercial readiness, are covered in our International Growth Planning Guide — yours on completion of the Growth Readiness Assessment: https://ow.ly/sKN450ZoO6f

There is no such thing as a global curriculum strategy.​

Curriculum growth looks very different depending on where you look:​

🌍 Western Asia: 99% growth in AP curriculum​
🌍 Africa: 30% growth in IB curriculum​
🌍 South East Asia: 22% growth in Cambridge curriculum​
🌍 Europe: 15% growth in US curriculum​

A strategy that works well in one region may not translate to another. Understanding where curricula overlap — and where they dominate — can help shape smarter product and partnership decisions.​

Curious where your priorities align with the data? The Curricula Overview 2026 offers a closer look at regional trends.​
