International schools came into existence in the
middle of nineteenth century. The first
international school was inaugurated in UK in the
year 1886. The school had many similarities. It
was believed that these schools would create a
new type of education system and they would
become brand ambassadors. During the mid
twentieth century nearly 1000 international
schools were established worldwide.

What makes an international school in
Chennai? There are two major aspects that can be
identified with international schools

• Market driven It arises from the needs of the
  people, especially expatriate communities and a
  wish to respond to the needs of this community.
• Ideology driven It was founded for the purpose
  of furthering international understanding and
  cooperation. Ideas that establish the purpose of

The market driven category relates to ownership
and responds to markets demand for establishing
and maintaining an international school. In the
case of ideology driven the category the ideas is
to reflect the purpose and this could be
financial, to generate profits. The ownership
basis influences decision making. It is strategic
in nature and is related to governance.

Nature of Governing There is a range of setting
in developed economies and there is an overall
responsibility for governance of these
organizations. The governing of international
schools have an high degree of autonomy when it
comes to national regulation. They are very
similar to private school or independent schools
as called in UK. International schools do not
operate independently of the national board.

International schools are guided by market forces
and their autonomy is reliant on the fees which
attributes their success and status in the
society. The international school thrives on
secure governance arrangement and not only
ensures proper conduct of school but
accreditation of international schools. The
schools are not required to adhere to any
national standards.
