Methodology

How Find School decides what becomes public

Find School is designed to be useful only if public international school pages are trustworthy enough to support a real parent decision. This page explains how to interpret that public layer.

How profiles are assembled

Profiles are built from structured international school records and publicly available school information such as official websites, admissions pages, fee documents, curriculum pages, and public contact details.

What published means

A school page appears publicly only after it passes the current publication gate or receives an explicit operator override. Incomplete or low-confidence records stay out of public search and school pages.

How to read fees

Fee data can vary by grade, term structure, or optional extras. We surface the most decision-useful pricing signal available, but parents should still confirm final fee schedules directly with admissions.

Publication gate

Public pages are intentionally filtered

Find School does not treat every imported international school record as ready for search. Public school pages, compare results, school lists, and sitemap entries are limited to schools that currently pass the publication gate.

In practice, that means we try to avoid indexing records that are missing too many core parent-decision facts such as IB, British, Cambridge A-Level, American, or bilingual curriculum, location clarity, tuition, or usable descriptive content.

Data interpretation

Use profiles as a shortlist tool, not the final authority

The public profile should help a family answer the first-round questions: where the international school is, whether it offers IB, British, Cambridge A-Level, American, bilingual, or English-speaking pathways, who it serves, the rough price band, and how to contact admissions.

If a family is moving forward, final verification should always happen on the school's official site or directly with admissions, especially for fees, entry points, language tracks, and year-specific availability.

What this means for SEO and parents

We would rather index fewer strong profiles than publish a directory full of weak ones

This makes public pages more useful for both human readers and search systems. The goal is not to inflate page count, but to make each indexed page answer meaningful parent questions with enough confidence to justify being public.
