The Schools Index is the leading international index of the very best private boarding and day schools, from different regions across the globe.

Published for the first time in 2020, the Index is hugely popular with international families who are seeking the best educational opportunities for their children. For more information about The Schools Index, please click here.

This year, we are excited to present a new additional category, named "Ones to Watch". The category features 25 schools that we believe are on the cusp of being part of the top 125 schools, or are establishments that have something very different to offer which sets them apart from the mainstream.

The list has been curated by a panel of expert education consultants at Carfax Education. Using a methodology similar to the process employed for the Top 125, we have meticulously researched and handpicked these institutions, recognising their unique characteristics and distinctive contribution to the educational landscape.

The "Ones to Watch" section features four distinct categories, each reflecting a specific aspect of what makes them stand out:

Ones to Watch: Schools displaying consistent potential and poised to make a significant impact.

New Schools to Watch: Highlighting promising newly established institutions shaping the future of education.

Small Gems: Uniquely small schools offering an intimate and distinctive learning environment.

Something Different: Schools breaking the mold with innovative and unconventional approaches to education.
