We're currently in a school with 99.9% local kids, which is fine from a teaching perspective, but we have a six year old (and another one on the way) and would like to move her into a more mixed community in the future. Which schools cater to expats or a mix of expats and locals?
I'm not too concerned about tier 1 or tier 2, we're just looking for a mix of nationalities. Countries we have in mind are Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines, Brunei.
Thanks in advance.

I haven't done any scientific research on the subject, but I would venture to guess that most tier 1 and tier 2 schools will have a majority of expat students. There are exceptions of course (JIS has around 50% local students). I would suggest you join a recruitment agency such as Seach that posts that information for all schools in their database.
Maybe someone else will be able to be more specific.

Humm
I would just go for either the "American" school which you can find on the DOS (Department of State) website

Its the most likely to be the most international.

True
True, their are always exceptions, its why I wrote that it would be the most "likely".
I was aiming for an easy answer, meaning it would offer a single resource, that could be easily utilized, and would meet the OPs requirements in a majority of the schools. There are of course methods that would generate better results, but they also of course involve a lot more work.
