Research Handbook on International Schools

This comprehensive Research Handbook explores new research on international schools, demonstrating the growing diversity of scholarship in terms of research methods, conceptual approaches and geographic spread. Leading experts draw on global case studies to illustrate innovative methodological approaches and evaluate the latest trends in the globalisation and commercialisation of education. Contributors pay particular attention to the significant growth of bilingual schools which reject the International Baccalaureate standard to offer a diverse curriculum. Comprising lived, insider sociological experiences, the book bridges the gap between practice and theory to consolidate existing research and present visionary recommendations. The Research Handbook on International Schools is a crucial resource for scholars of international education, as well as those researching international school policy and administration. Curriculum policymakers and school leaders will also benefit from its astute insights and timely suggestions.
