The International Schools Review Forum

I've seen that there are two ISS/COIS fairs coming up - one in February and one in June. Is anyone familiar with these fairs?

I'm attending the UNI fair in February and I'm debating on whether to sign up for one of these others.

Thanks!

I've been to two COIS London fairs in February. 2001 and 2005. Both times I seem to remember that there were about 700 applicants and about 200 schools. I understand that ISS is larger, more applicants and more schools, more of a cattle market atmosphere I've been told.

I don't know if the following holds for ISS but many of the COIS schools were IB schools looking for PYP, MYP and DP trained teachers. I think COIS has a marginally stronger UK/ European school orientation where as ISS probably has a stronger US orientation.

It is easier to register with COIS and there are no registration costs.

Thanks Traveller for the helpful information in both posts!
