Terms of Service
Last updated: October 2026
Agreement
By using The International School Standard website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.
The service
We publish information and ratings about international schools for general research purposes. Content may change as we update our register, and the site may be unavailable at times for maintenance or reasons beyond our control.
Editorial independence
No school can pay to be listed or to change its rating. Listings and TISS marks reflect our editorial criteria, not advertising.
Ratings and accuracy
Ratings, summaries, and school facts are provided as-is for informational use. They are not a guarantee of school quality, admission outcomes, or fitness for any particular family. Always verify important details directly with the school.
Acceptable use
You may browse and share links to our pages for personal, non-commercial research. You must not scrape the site in a way that harms our service, attempt unauthorized access to admin areas, or misuse content in a misleading way.
Intellectual property
Site design, TISS branding, and original editorial content belong to The International School Standard or its licensors. School names and third-party marks belong to their respective owners.
Disclaimers
The site is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, or fitness for a particular purpose, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site or reliance on its content.
Changes
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept the updated terms. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change when we revise them.
