QSI-like organizations

[lindaloo]

I have a friend who taught with QSI and she has been telling me about their schools. I've been researching their schools and they have a well organized website that makes it easy to check out all of their schools. They also appear to have a fairly stream-lined application process - one application for any of their schools. I've been looking for similar international school setups, but haven't had much luck. I see plenty of international schools out there - but is there anything else like QSI where there are several schools under one umbrella organization?

Thanks. I appreciate any help you can offer.

They are called "Chain ISs", just off the top of my head:

EFS
GEMS
Dipont
UWC
IES

Thank you for the help!

Also Cognita and Nord Anglia.

While they are all chains, I don't think the chains mentioned have the stream-lined application process of QSI. UWC doesn't. Nord Anglia doesn't (or it didn't, not looked at them recently). GEMS don't. If it's a 'one application, many opportunities' thing you're looking for, an agency would be a better bet.

Nord Anglia has one application

How do these different groups rank in reputation? I've heard some of these organizations have a pretty low reputation and all their schools are tier 3.

@WinterFerret

Membership cant comment on rankings or tier in the public forum. To ask and get an answer to that question you will need to go to the member forum.

Do you have to pay to be in the member forum?

Yes, membership which includes access to the members only forum, requires a paid membership to the site.
