About Us

Our Mission: Empowering Families to Choose the Best Schools Worldwide

Finding the right school for your child is one of the most important decisions you will ever make as a parent. Whether you are relocating internationally, exploring local alternatives, or simply seeking an educational environment that aligns with your family's values, the process can feel overwhelming. At SchoolVita, we exist to simplify that journey.

SchoolVita is a free, independent school discovery platform that connects families with top-rated international and private schools across the globe. We combine data-driven research, expert education insights, and first-hand community knowledge to help you make confident, informed decisions about your child's education.

Our platform currently covers 10 major cities and features profiles for 200+ carefully vetted schools, with new locations and institutions added every month. From curriculum details and fee structures to campus facilities and parent reviews, we provide the comprehensive information families need — all in one place, completely free of charge.

How We Help Families

The international education landscape is complex. According to ISC Research, there are now over 14,000 international schools worldwide, serving more than 6.5 million students. That number continues to grow rapidly, making it increasingly difficult for parents to evaluate their options without expert guidance.

SchoolVita bridges that gap. Here is how we support families at every stage of the school search process:

Comprehensive School Profiles

Every school listed on SchoolVita has a detailed profile built from verified data. We cover curriculum type (IB, British, American, national systems), accreditation status, tuition fees, student-to-teacher ratios, extracurricular offerings, and more. Our profiles go beyond marketing brochures to give you an honest, data-backed picture of each institution.

City and Area Guides

Education does not exist in a vacuum. Where you live shapes your child's school options. That is why we publish in-depth guides for every city and neighbourhood we cover. Whether you are exploring schools in Dubai, evaluating boarding options in London, considering the highly competitive landscape in Singapore, or navigating admissions in New York, our city guides give you the local context you need.

Free, Personalised Recommendations

Not sure where to start? Submit an inquiry through our platform and our education advisors will provide personalised school shortlists based on your child's age, learning style, budget, and preferred curriculum. This service is entirely free for families — no hidden fees, no obligations.

"The best school for your child is not necessarily the most prestigious or the most expensive. It is the one where they feel safe, challenged, and inspired to grow. Parents need access to objective data, not just glossy prospectuses."

Our Values

Everything we do at SchoolVita is guided by a clear set of principles:

• Independence: We are not owned by any school group or education company. Our recommendations are based on data and community feedback, not commercial relationships.
• Transparency: We clearly distinguish between organic listings and featured schools. Sponsored content is always labelled.
• Accessibility: Our core service is free for every family, regardless of budget or background. Quality education guidance should not be a luxury.
• Accuracy: We verify school data against official sources, accreditation bodies like the Council of International Schools (CIS), and curriculum organisations like the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO).
• Privacy: We never sell your personal data. Inquiry information is shared only with the specific schools you choose to contact.

"Choosing an international school is one of the highest-stakes decisions expatriate families face. Access to reliable, comparative data is not a nice-to-have — it is essential. Platforms that centralise this information with editorial integrity serve a genuine need in the market."

Our Team and Expertise

SchoolVita was founded by a team of education professionals, technologists, and expatriate parents who experienced the school search process firsthand. We understand the anxiety of moving to a new city with children. We know the frustration of incomplete information, conflicting reviews, and opaque admissions processes.

Our editorial team includes former school admissions officers, certified education consultants, and researchers with deep expertise in international curricula including the IB Diploma Programme, British A-Levels, American AP programmes, and national systems across Europe and Asia. Every piece of content on SchoolVita is reviewed for accuracy and relevance before publication.

We also maintain partnerships with relocation agencies, education consultancies, and family support organisations in each of our listed cities to ensure our local knowledge stays current and practical.

Our Data-Driven Approach

We believe that good decisions require good data. Our research methodology combines multiple data sources to build the most accurate school profiles possible:

• Official school inspection reports and accreditation records
• Published fee schedules and admissions criteria
• Government education authority databases
• Parent surveys and community feedback
• On-site visits and school liaison partnerships

This multi-source approach means families can trust the information on SchoolVita to reflect the current reality of each school — not just its marketing message.
