Welcome to the forum.
International schools in most countries are not what I always thought they were. The only people I ever knew who attended or had children in international schools were living in Europe at the time. There the international schools were for international students, with children of expat business people and sometimes diplomats attending them.
In the rest of the world, an internatinal school is a private school where classes are taught in English and an American or English curriculum is taught. The students are local, rather than the international mix found in the European version. There are exceptions. I knew a woman who taught an a boys boarding school in Chiang Mai that was entirely filled with boys from Japan and Korea, sent by their parents to get an English-medium education at a lower cost than what was available at home.
Some of the schools are of course, better than others. The really good ones are usually trying to prepare their students for American and English universities, and in some cases only the top universities at that. And yes, I'm talking about a school that starts with pre-K.
