Schools

Families in Scotland choose between international schools (high fees, transferable curriculum), bilingual private schools and the local public system. Places in Edinburgh's best international schools fill a year ahead.

Questions to ask

• Which curriculum, and does it transfer if you move again?
• Total annual cost including levies, uniforms, transport and exams.
• Language support for children entering the local system.
• School calendar versus your home country's.
