At a conference in Italy in 2009 the International Association of School Librarianship came up with a list criteria for describing an international school, including:[3]
Transferability of the student's education across international schools.
A moving population (higher than in state schools or public schools).
Multinational and multilingual student body
An international curriculum.
International accreditation (e.g. Council of International Schools, International Baccalaureate, North Eastern Accrediting Commission for Schools, Western Association of Schools and Colleges).
A transient and multinational teacher population.
Non-selective student enrollment.
Usually English or French language of instruction, plus the obligation to take on at least one additional language.
