What to expect at an international school open day
Campus tour
A guided walk through classrooms, sports facilities, boarding houses, and dining areas. Ask to see the spaces most relevant to your child's interests and age group.
Meet the team
Speak directly with the head of admissions, subject teachers, and current students. These conversations reveal the school's culture far more than any brochure.
Curriculum Q&A
Ask about the IB Diploma, A-Levels, AP, or local national programmes. Most open days include a presentation on university preparation and language support options.
Fees and scholarships
Schools typically present a fee structure and application timeline. Open days are the best opportunity to ask directly about merit scholarships, bursaries, and payment plans.
Frequently asked questions
What is an international school open day?
An open day is an event hosted by an international or boarding school where prospective families can tour the campus, meet teachers and students, and ask questions about admissions, curricula, and school life. Most open days are free to attend and last two to four hours.
How do I register for a school open day?
Click "Register Interest" on the event listing to go to the school's profile page, then use the enquiry form to confirm your attendance. Many schools also accept registrations through their own admissions website.
Can families from abroad attend boarding school open days?
Yes. Boarding schools in Switzerland, the UK, and Southeast Asia routinely welcome international families. Schools often offer virtual open days or personal campus tours by appointment for families who cannot travel in person — contact the admissions team directly to arrange a visit.
What should I bring to an international school open day?
Bring a list of questions about the curriculum (IB, A-Levels, AP), boarding arrangements, scholarship options, and extracurricular programmes. If possible, bring your child — their reaction to the campus and student body is one of the most useful signals you will get.
